Aibileen works as a maid and cares for Miss Leefort’s child that she doesn’t like because she is fat.

I’m curious about why Miss Leefort is so worried about he being so perfect, skinny; and well liked.

I’m also curious as to why she doesn’t care for her child: she just a baby.

Miss Leefort ignore her baby and we learn how there has been issues with colored bathroom and not have them.

The Help can be connected to the show Switched at Birth, because In switched at brith Bay, artist, gets in trouble for changing the way her car looks, because she wanted to make it more personal, and in The Help Aibileen gets in trouble for giving her advice to others. So they can be connected in the fact that Bay and Aibileen have a loss of voice.

Aibileen gets a new maid job for Miss Celia, the house is much bigger but the husband doesn’t know Celia is getting a maid and Aibileen thinks if he ever see her he will kill Aibileen.

A song that I feel matches the book The Help is Wagon Wheel by Darius Rucker. I think this because the first line is “Heading down south…” and this book take place in the south, but also just the way the song is, it’s slower and like the tone matches the book.

Aibileen started the new job at Miss Celia’s. At Miss Celia she wants her to teach her how to cook, clean her house, and not let her husband know Aibileen is doing the work.

I choose this confused meme because Aibileen has never been told to tell a white what to do; and that’s what Miss Celia is having her do.

Aibileen is still trying to teach Miss Celia how to cook, but her understanding is ephemeral. As soon as Aibileen started to feel hubris Mister Johnny comes home while she is there.

One plot twist I would add would be to have Miss Celia’s husband find Aibileen but when this happens Aibileen see someone she knows and it be like an awkward reunion.
