I am Juliette and I read The Help. My favorite character in The Help is Skeeter because she seeks to write and speak out about racial prejudices black people face. She had a lot of courage because she was shun by the white community because of her activism. She also is hardworking. She pitches her book and ideas to many publishers but must deny her because she is a woman and they don’t believe in what she is writing about. Also she has a trust fund but she doesn’t embrace the predjuces that the upper white class has against black people. She chooses to break from the social norm takes many risks as a white woman in the south

Dear Beloved Parents,
I have dreamed for what seems like forever to return home. My muscles sore, my conscious full of horrors, I have seen enough to suit a man for his lifetime. I only long for this dreatched war to end. Surely it is better to have slavery without many a persons dying brutally.
                                                                                            Sincerly,

In the book black like me , in the book recently the guy griffin gets treated like trash because there are things black people people can't do it is not fair to griifin even though he was white. They kept on staring at him with the evil eye with racism . He keeps looking for a job , but never finds one . All Along he needs to be respective . He never gets a job because they don’t think griffin is educated Enoch to have one.

Invisible Man Comment #2

The way Invisible Man is slowly losing his optimism for people towards the end of the book is kind of disheartening. He has been let down so many times, and becomes cynical and suspicious of every person he comes across. Invisible Man feels undervalued and starts taking his frustration out on other people, which leads to his ultimate downfall in society.

Black like Me: Zoey Benali


Hi, I'm Zoey _(┐「ε:)_ ! I'm reading Black Like Me. During the Socratic, we noticed that it was hard for black people to find a job because people assumed that they were not educated and skilled enough to do anything and flat-out rejected them before they gave them a fair chance. Some black people did not even get jobs because they didn't get any opportunities to get educated in the first place. So it became a cycle of not able to get an education, not getting to collect all the skills that are valuable for later in life, and then not being able to provide enough money for their child's education.

        Hello this is Abby, The Help is a heart touching and very informational book. Mae Molly is the daughter of Miss. Leefolt. Miss. Leefolt does not pay a single second of her attention to Mae Mobly. Instead Aibileen, their maid, take care of her. Aibileen is basically her mother figure. I feel sorry when Mae Mobly gets in “trouble” by Miss. Leefolt and then her mama slaps her on the back of the legs, even thought she did nothing wrong. All Mae Mobly wants is for her mother to pay attention to her and spend time playing with her. When Aibileen was teaching Mae Mobly how to use the toilet, she taught her on the bathroom in the garage (the colored people bathroom). Aibileen couldn’t use the toliets inside the house. So when Miss. Leefotl saw Mae Mobly trying to use the colored people bathroom she got angry and blamed it on Aibileen. Abileen could not teach her anywhere else though  because she wasn’t allowed to use the inside bathroom. Miss. Leefolt is so mean to Mae Mobly and Aibileen. I think Miss. Leefolt should obviously pay more attention to Mae Mobly and try to be a better mother to her.
I am Sebastian Trejo . I am reading black like me. John howard griffin turns himself into black with chemicals by the doctor. He gets cheaked every week about what the chemicals did to him . After he turned black from white he shaved off all his hair , got out from his house and went on the bus to go to the deep south. He got of from the bus to the hotel. Later on he tries to find a job but is having a hard time finding one . He has been racial descrminizedwhen he try’s to sit on the bus where the white people sit. It is very bad because of all of what the south does.
