The Help was a very good story. I give it a 4/5. It showed the perspective of two African American women and white woman. That is what made the story so diverse and interesting. It was about the challenges the three women encounter when they come together to make a book about the life of black maids in the south. The trio take risks because they believe that they are doing the right thing even if their lives are at stake. This story opened my eyes to what life must have been for black women in the civil rights movement because life was so different back then. I would recommend this story to someone who is studying the civil rights movement.
