The End


I’m walking on the sidewalk with a big book in my hand. There is water running down the gutter everybody’s sprinklers are on. I arrive to the front door of my neighbor Sue’s house. She answers the door and I return the book. We sit down in her dining room. She shares her thoughts about the book with me. We both love Skeeter she was our favorite character. I liked Skeeter because she was brave enough to reveal the truth about the living conditions for the maids. Sue agreed with me and she made a personal connection with the story. When she was a child she used to have a maid that would live with her and her maid was like a second mother just like Skeeter and her maid Constantine. This book has taught Sue and  served as a reminder that we have to do what is right in our everyday life. My thoughts are that you need to have courage to stand up for what you believe in just like Skeeter, Minny, Aibileen and all the other maids. In the end all their hard work really paid off.
