The Help, Kathryn Stockett’s novel, gives me an amazing insight into the struggle of the black workers in the 1960’s. In the book, the characters fit in perfectly into their time period, and their attributes seem well thought out. The book takes the perspective of 12 black maids into perspective, and lets the reader read about the struggles of their time period. The book also creates amazing connections and interactions between the characters that makes reading the book so much more deep and meaningful. I found this book absolutely amazing and powerful to my ear and I would recommend this book to anyone familiar with the Civil Rights Movement and anyone who has a firm grasp on the concept of this time period and place.
