In the class of writting we write an informal letter about the movie "The Help".In this
assignment, the idea was to supposed to take the role of Skeeter ,and we had to write to a friend living in New York and to tell her about the
stories that Skeeter has heard in Mississippi about the
afroamerican population. In the letter
we dont have to give names or disclose the secret about Skeeter writing a book
about the helpers in Mississipp.
Dear
Elizabeth,
I am sorry because I
know that I should greet you properly since we haven´t spoken for a long time, I would rather omit that part and go directly to the horribles and melancholy stories that I learnt here in Jackson
Mississippi.In the last week I met two
black helpers at Jackson, whose names I can´t said and I prefer that they remaind in secret,
and they shear me many conflicts and problems about the tough life Negros are obliged to face
in my white supremacist town, which set my teeth on edge. As well as facing racial segregation and
verbal violence, these citizens have to pull up with their intolerant employers
abusing of their wealth and social status to humiliate the hands that feed
their children and look after their beloved homes.However, they are mocked by white residents
who undermine their efforts and challenge their ability to send their own kids
to college after having raised the money from years of hard labour. This is the
case of a helper in which her greedy owner, who I am not supposed to mention,
refused to give her a loan in order to give her a good education education,this i can´t believe it., can you believe this? Mississippi is a place that women can´t realise their drems.You know, that actually reminded me of the day in which the most
despicable and self-centred lady in town convinced almost the entire
neighbourhood that the black help needed special toilets outside white houses
since they might spread deadly illnesses. Pure nonsense! In conclution, that is the
reason why that intolerant woman fired one of the helpers I've previously
interviewed, because they must to use her private toilet. There is another pretty “lady”that in the town is known as a intolerant and superior woman because she despised her
helper even though she took care of her toddler since she was practically born
just because of the whims of other women with a higher status than hers was.Well, I hope that these stories make you reflect and think that this is not a jock.I wanted to see you and keep sharing about the stories that I listen.Plese write me.
Your friend, Skeeter.
