The Help *tone and mood*

The tone and mood for the hel;p is lightly sad. Skeeter continues to ask Aibileen if she wishes things were different. This makes the story a little more depressing because it's obvious they wish they didn't have to be bossed around by white women but there is nothing they can do about it. If they quit they won't have any money to tend to their families. When Miss Hilly was trying to convince her friend Elizabeth to get an outside bathroom for her maid, she was very happy and acted as if her maid loved having to go outside in the pouring rain just to use the bathroom. Her tone impacted Elizabeth by acting so excited that the colored maids wouldn't have to use the same bathroom they do.
