So far, I feel I am curious about the child Mae Mobley and if she will end up being with her mother forever. I wonder if Aibileen will do anything; she seems worried and questions some of Miss Leefolt’s actions and reactions toward her child. Aibileen is conflicted: she cares about the child but she also has to be careful on her reaction. I wonder what will happen between those three.

A movie I could connect this book to is Twilight. In twilight there are three separate groups, but the discrimination was between two, vampires and wolves. Bella, a high school teen, got caught in the middle of either side and was viewed differently as she was making up her mind. The hurtful words effected her deeply in her final decision on what to do, because it wasn’t only between her and strangers it was two people she fell in love with.

I chose this meme because as Minny is learning about her new job, she is also getting more freedom than a typical “help” would be getting. Although she is happy about it, she is still cautious when she arrives and during her times there: Mrs.Celias husband doesn’t know she is cleaning his home, nor teach his wife how to cook.

My plot twist:

If I could I would change Minnys future with Miss Celias. As Minny is hiding from Miss Celias husband, I would have him enter fortuitously while they were cooking with one another. Miss Celias husband would be an African American man, completely bamboozling Minny. He would be so angry at first, but than grateful to see his wife having someone she can lean on and trust. This would change the story because as the book begins and goes on, it’s based on the social norm, white people have use the blacks for “help”, and they aren’t seen as anything more. Having Miss Celias husband be the same color as “the help” with a “real” job would add spice and excitement.
