"The Help" entry four

Through the chaos of "Help" being released and available to read, I am moved by the amount of selflessness that both Miss Skeeter, Aibileen, and Minny possess. When Miss Skeeter reveals that she has been offered a job in New York from Miss Stein at Harper's Magazine,  she explains that she cannot possibly take the job. She knows things are getting really bad with the book and does not want to leave Aibileen and Minny in a bad position. Yet, it Aibileen and Minny who are the ones encouraging her to to take the job. They remind her that she has been dreaming of this job and that there is nothing holding her back. It is the courage she gains from both Aibileen and Minny that enables her to say "I'm going. I am going to New York" (425).  As the novel comes to a close, I am starting to realize the amount of respect that Miss Skeeter, Aibileen, and Minny have for one another. Despite the extremely tough and dangerous times, they stay true to who they are. They are there for one another for both the highest and lowest points of the process of  the creating "Help." It is a rare relationship to have had developed, especially in the South at this time, yet it is pure. With the upcoming controversies on their book on the rise, they will do what they know is right.
