The Help

        Alright, so I've heard a little about this book, The Help, and that it is worth a read. I honestly know nothing about the book or the story. Yet, I've been told that is good. From what I assume, I predict it has a story line that has some powerful and meaningful message. (If you know what I mean). Is it one of those books that just...Well, sticks with you? Something that you remember for a long time?

 I actually just started the book. As in the first chapter. So far, it's pretty decent. I think I really enjoy how the author used actual slang to help bring the book to life. It makes it so realistic and I feel as if I could actually be there. One question, does she main character work for Miss Leefolt, but care for other people? I guess what I'm trying to say is, what does the help's job involve? What are they required to do? I know this took place a while back, but when exactly  did this book take place? They're are paid to work... and that means they're not slaves. So did this take place before or after Martin Luther King Jr. and his time? So much is introduced in the first chapter, and I'm sure it will make sense later, but right now I just have so many questions! They made a movie from it...Is it like the book? I assume it is...
If there is one thing I have heard about the book, it's the character Minny. Apparently she ends of doing something with a pie...
