Dear Diary:
I could say my life has just finished. I lose my job in Miss Leefolt´s house. The
worst thing is everything that I did not want to happen it has happened. I want to blurt
out I was so scared to being discover by the book. In fact, Minny and Miss Skeeter too.
Personally, I was scared not to lose my job but also to leave Miss Leefolt’s children. I
left to Mae Mobley and Li’l Man in period of their life which adults have influence in
them. I am more scared than being sad because the children could accept the colored
people’s stereotypes and hate me. I never will forget them. Anyway they will be in my
pray list.
Sometimes, I think releasing “The Help” has been detrimental. All of us got
troubles and Perhaps they won´t diminish. In spite of this, I regret nothing. Indeed,
white families have showed their real faces toward colored men. Moreover, the best
example is Miss Hilly; all of her majesty and gorgeousness showed suddenly
disappeared. She was able to say she will fire my friend Minny. Furthermore, she
argued with Miss Skeeter and I still remember when Miss Hilly insisted the maids
shouldn´t use bathroom’s one white family. I realized she don´t have friends and have it
is not important for her. I consider she is blind with respect colored Negroes. Right
now, I got to put to Miss Hilly in my pray list. Lamentably, she tared colored people
with the same brush. Nobody is perfect. However, I feel a bit of injustice. She got her
away. After all, she managed to harm us.
I have not heard nothing from Minny again since the last call. I became panicky
at the thought about Minny going on face her husband who wanted kill her. It is awful
but maybe I will not see to Minny again. That’s a pity, she got a big heart and I could
not thank her so much by her help with the book. If something happens to her or her
children, I will feel guilty because I did not do nothing to avoid it.
On the other hand, I am glad about Miss Skeeter because the las time I talked
with her. She decided to accept the job opportunity and going to New York. The destiny
did I could meet to Miss Skeeter. Now I am going far away I will not forget her
different attitude toward colored people. Maybe she don’t know but her courageous
motivated me to continue with the insanity of the book. If my old friend Constantine
had seen Miss Skeeter’s project she would have been pleased of her. I suppose she don´t
know nothing about Minny and me. Otherwise, I am sure she would help us. Anyway I
hope success in her life and really I hope see her soon.
This Sunday I will go to the church for one principal reason. Praying. Firs at all
praying for the children’s well-being. Second, for Miss Skeeter, Miss Hilly and Miss
Leefolt. In addition, I will ask to my friends for a job. Really, I hope forget the bad
experiences working in other house. However, I feel I learned a lot helping to Miss
Skeeter in the book. I never have imagined doing something like this. I am pleased with
Miss Skeeter and Minny. Well, I try to call to Miss Skeeter.
Wish me luck!
