I agree with how white people thought. They indeed think they were the higher class.

The character is shaped because of how you had to behave if you were a certain class or race.

1) The ploy of the movie The Help, is it shows how the maids around that time period were treated. It showed how white women thought they were more entitled than black women. Most, if not all, black women were completed disrespected.

There were many instances where if you were a certain class you would be treated differently.

I agree with the plot of the movie because the maids in that time period were disrespected everyday. Even when they did follow the rules, the whites would find something to get on to them about.

1. The Help is set in the 1960s when white families used African-American maids. It centers on Aibileen and Minny, two maids who are hired by white families, and Eugenia, an amateur writer who wants to help the maids get their stories out into the public. The film follows the three women as they go through the trials of crafting such a dangerous book.

I agree that the times you live in can effect someones character greatly. In the 60's it was normal for families to treat their black maids poorly. So when the kids grew up they thought that was how they were suppose to treat the maids.

1. The plot of "The Help" is at first starts off with African American women working as a daily maid. Skeeter has a maid at her house, so she starts to understand how they get treated. She decides to write a book based on some of the maids stories, so people would see from there side. When it gets published it shows whites what they are doing wrong.

help was about the rise of Independence of colored people, this isn't achieved in the movie but shows the slow progress they made.For the rest of the world or america this is normal. people of color were mistreated. The characters devolved a lot through the movie.
