6. Viewpoint

- The story of The Help places us in the southern town of Jackson, Mississippi, to
show us how the aspiring journalist Skeeter (Emma Stone), seeks the complicity
of two black servants, who work and are denigrated by white families, to get
their light the moral poverty and impropriety in American society of the time.

- It also seems very important to me as a girl despite what people lived at that
time, I was able to see the level of recism that existed and the constant abuse by
the white spersoans.

7. Summary

Kathryn Stockett narrates in a concrete way but without much exaggeration, or lies,
but with honesty and sincerity through the mouths of perfectly defined characters,
life in Jackson, Mississippi, a town or city in the southern United States, where the
slavery, contempt or racism towards black people and whites who defended them
were frowned upon. History that narrates the conflict of white power over black, the
peaceful uprising of African-Americans to be recognized and considered that
although happily in this it is less but has not disappeared.
It also presents three main protagonists, who are the ones who narrate the main
events themselves: two are African-American domestic workers, or black as they
were called in those days who work for white women, and a young white woman
who wants to do something with his life.
And three secondary protagonists who are white who are the bosses with their
respective characteristics, one of whom Aibileen works for, one of whom is a poor
white woman who does not know how to behave or dress, rejected by the women of
the town and for whom Minny works. ( 185 words )
