What is most interesting about this novel, is that the movie mimics the book more than any other movie I have ever seen. I wish I would have red the book first. I pretty much know what is about to happen in the book, but the writing and the way the stories are told still interests me and is still gripping my attention. The sad thing about the book is that their are still people who treat african Americans disrespectfully. One sad part of the book was when Aibaleen discovers the baby has had to spend all night and morning with a messy diaper because her mother never had it cross her mind that her child is still a baby. I love the part when Skeeter mouths back to Hilly that "maybe we should just build you a bathroom outside Hilly." I also love how loving and understanding mister johnny is when he had known about the lying and sneaking Celia and Minny did behind his back, which is relieving because most men back then would probably get aggressive and abusive because of that. I am currently on page 282 chapter 19 in Skeeters perspective.
I like how you you follow up a sad comment with a with a positive comment. I also like how you you use quotations from the book, but what I really like about this post though, is how you related the book to present day. I really think that's important to do when your reading a book that is set in a different era.
