Emily Santhosh’s Reviews > The Help > Status Update

(Favorites) Mae Mobley says to Aibileen, "Aibee, you're my real mama." I liked this part because Aibileen treats Mae Mobley like her own daughter more than Mae Mobley's real mom.

(Ask) After Skeeter goes to New York, will the Help's life be more or less chaotic than it was before?

(Favorites) Skeeter gets a job offer at Harper's Magazine in New York. She didn't want to go, but Aibileen and Minny convinced her to go. I like this part because Skeeter can always count on them for support.

(Favorites) Mae Mobley colored her self portrait black after the teacher said to draw what we like about ourselves best. The teacher yelled at Mae Mobley because black means being dirty and Mae Mobley doesn't like that because she doesn't judge people by their color.

(Prediction) I predict the book will be a bestseller, no matter what Miss Stein says or how many copies were sold.

(Favorites) Everyone in the black community are congratulating Minny and Aibileen for being brave and telling a white person their personal stories of their life and knowing that it will be put into a book.

(Ask) Will the book affect a large amount of people, enough to change things and make life for the help better?

(Favorites) Hilly's book got published and even though the publisher says that there will be a small amount of copies, Aibileen and Minny are very excited that finally some people would see how life is like for the help.

(Favorites) Skeeter found out that her mom has cancer, and was upset about it since her mom knew about it for two months but didn't decide to tell her.
