The Help *Analysis*

After Aibileen and Minny decide to help Skeeter write her book, they begin to meet all the time after work. Since black women/men aren't soppose to write books they need to keep it a secret or they could be in big trouble."For the next two weeks, the three of us arrange ourselves in the same seats in Aibileen's small, warmliving room. Minny storms in mad, quiet down as she tells Aibileen her story, then rushes out in a rage as fast as she came in. I write down as much as I can." They continue to tell Skeeter their stories of what they deal with when working in a white person's house, taking care of their children, and serving them.

 

I predict that after a while they will get enough maids to fill up all the pages of the book, but also i think they might get caught some how. If white women read the book they write and it has some of the stories that happened to them and their maids, they could figure out that they wrote them.

 

 

"Hour after hour, in Aibileen's kitchen, she reads her writing and i typpe, the details thickening, the babies' faces sliding into focus. At first, i''m disappointed that Aibileen is doing most of the writin, with me just editing. But if Missus Stein likes it, I'll be writing the other maids' stories and that will be more than enough work. If she likes it...I find myself saying this over and over in my head, hoping it might make it so.
