The Help (Thing 2)

Last week we watched "The Help."

It's about three women. Aibileen is a black woman who is telling the story. She also works for a white person that sometimes treats her poorly and sometimes treats her nicely. Minnie is another black woman who works for a horrible white person. Then there is Skeeter, who is a white woman who wants to write a book. She has to interview black people about their experiences while working with white people. But she and the black people she are interviewing might go to jail because of it.

I would give this movie

 



because it is exciting and interesting.

It was really nice to watch it together. I've seen that movie 3 times now.

It takes a lot of courage to stand up for what's right, especially when what's right goes against what family/friends/community think. Nice review!

I'm glad you enjoyed the movie. I think books and film are great ways to learn about history. They really make the times come to life.

Great review!
