The Help by Kathryn Stockett is one of my all time favorite books! It’s one of the few books that has a movie that I actually think does the book justice. As a teacher, I have always been interested in issues surrounding justice. I think this book although fiction brings to light the injustice of African Americans during the time of Jim Crow laws.
My favorite character is probably Minny because she is so full of spunk and does not let anyone walk all over her. This gets her into some trouble, but in the end everything works out for her.
The best transformation in the book, but also the movie is Skeeter’s mom. She made a mistake by firing Constantine, but she redeems herself by supporting her daughter after her book is released and completely shuts Hilly up.
Let me know what you think! Who was your favorite character? Did you end up watching the movie after?
