The Help #4

As the end of the book neared, Skeeter finally finished her book. After it is published, all hell breaks loose. People begin to read the novel and since Skeeter named names, Minny's husband is fired from his job since she helped in the writing of the book. Her husband then take his anger out on her, so Minny decided to leave him. It is so unfair how a woman wrote a book trying to show people how tough the lives of black women are the only thing it does is make their lives even harder. It still shocks me to think about how different things were just 50 years ago, and just how divided the whole country was on some issues. Skeeter's book didn't only hurt Minny, her wedding with Stuart Whitworth, the son of a senator was called off due to him finding out the novel was Skeeter's writing. That means a book that Skeeter wrote, because she cares about people was enough to change the mind of Stuart. If that is the reason someone does not want to marry you, chances are it would not have worked out anyways. That is not the only thing that goes wrong for Skeeter after her book was published. Her old friend Hilly threatened to sue her for what she did and exact her revenge on all the maids mentioned. Though a bit of fun comes out of all of this when Aibileen makes a pie with a special ingredient. Hilly had two pieces of pie that had Aibileen's feces in it. In the mist of all of this, Skeeter finds out the reason Constantine left. She and Skeeter's mother Charlotte got into a fight about Constantines newly born baby and Constantine was fired. Yet, another example of a white women thinking she is better than a black woman.
