I was reading The Help, it talks about how African Americans were treated much different then how so we call "white" people. This book talks about everything wrong with society, it tells the differences in how some "white" people aren't the same. Ms.Skitter is a white woman who care about balck lives wanted to give their sides of the job/story. she started to write a book about how they dealt with their jobs. Minny is one of the maids she worked for Ms.Hilly and Ms.Walters, now she works for this very nice kind young lady. This was her first time hiring a maid and she didn't know what to do or how to say it. In the book everyone had their own opinion on how to treat and what they were doing right, Ms.Skitter choice to put Ms.Hilly and Minnys best part in the story, she wrote how Minny baked a pie with her own poop. After that Minny didn't know if she was going to get another job but she went on with the book to help out her friends. At the end of the book, white people and black people were brought together and helped eachother out although they kept their jobs as maids they were treated equally and no shame was brought to them. Everyone was treated the same and was appropriated.
The book I want to read for fourth quarter is "the uglies", I want to read this book because it seems interesting by the book cover. I'm also interested in how it will end, the book has series following it. I'm not sure what they are called, but by the start of the first book I hope its good as well. The book so far talks about how once they turn 16 or 18 they are to be turned into "pretties." The main character talks about how her and her best friend were split up when he had hit the age, she was desperate to see how the life of the pretties were. Every night she would go into the park and see what the pretties did, there was some type of bridge between the two places so the "uglies" wouldn't cross. The book so far is very interesting, and attention grabbing. The book may not be for everyone, but its a pretty good book to read so far. Well ill stop saying stuff about the book, but once I'm done I advice you to read it as well.
