Ana ENG 1301 May 6, 2019 The Help “Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time, We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek “(Barack Obama), This quote meaning is if we do not make a change in ourselves we cannot change the ‘world as we want. In the movie the help, there is a transformation when Skeeter came back to her little town with dreams of being a great writer, but for that, she had to face many obstacles that made her change physical, spiritual and heroic. In the movie, show how racism of races was very developed at that time. “Where they discriminated against African American people because they were black. African Americans had no rights they were treated as slaves; among the white people they were passed on to the servants” (Stern, Mark). Skeeter had to change his physical appearance to fit into white society. She had to start dressing differently so that people did not see her in a different way, she had to dress in a dress, skirts to see her feminine, she did not like to dress like that, just not to be excluded by society. One of Skeeter’s friends said [SREP Sia 21S SST NGTE IelISHE IS aI COBSTS (Rozen Gifterent™ (Pear MeHaney 12). Skeeter was not a feminine person, her mother thought she was a lesbian because of the way she dressed and looked. Also because of the way she acts to be better and does not behave like her primary friends. To have a job as a writer since at that time it was strange to see a woman work as a writer of columns in a newspaper. TheSkeeter’s bosses could not see that she wrote very well in the columns of the newspaper, they just wanted to make her do things as a secretary because only men were allowed to study. Skeeter was a very spiritual girl. At all times she was very positive in how to overcome herself and get better every day, $HG{iSa ili Nanas WVEEy NINE ENAEWS presented to her she took advantage and went out ahead in everything she went through (Mehaney). Skeeter did not care what others said or thought of her, “She always did what was right for the others, she was the only one who helped and respected the African American maids” (Pearl ‘McHeney 20). She was a strong woman with very good feelings towards others, she had an African American nanny whom she respected a lot and wanted. since her nanny took care of her from very small age. People saw her badly because they thought that she was a strange person only because she did not want to marry someone from society, SSRN did HOE Want Oman hhim because she did not feel anything for the guy” (Pearl MeHaney 56). Women were denied political rights, along with children, servants, laborers and slaves, and gained those rights only after long and difficult campaigns. (Omen in mOSUOD Aliica lhave|had the ight\to|votelSinee independence, so the question of equity is not whether women have the right to vote, but whether they are active players within politics, and, within scholarship, whether their actual actions, ‘organizations or attempts to influence the quality of their lives by some political means are seen as part of the process of democratic polities or democratization (Judith Van Allen) Skeeter had to do many things for the ladies to have confidence in telling the things they had lived through Several nights and several days passed in writing the experiences of each of the maids. When Skeeter finished writing the novel, her personality changed and she was stronger to face theproblems that came her way. Ei rerything that the novel said was very strong, so the servants passed and were discriminated against in a very strong way because the white ladies thought that if the servants used the same toilet as them, they thought that they were going to get something out of it, They made a bathroom outside the house of one of the white ladies so that the African American servant would not use the bathroom. already after the novel was published in the lady's house they put pure toilets in her garden for making the request that everyone had to put a toilet outside for the servants (Smith 20). One of the ways in which Skeeter behaved heroically, was when she realized that her nanny had said goodbye, she got very bad because her nanny was very important to her, since her nanny was the one who educated her, took care of her. The vast majority of the time when Skeeter was small, she spent her time with her nanny not with his mother. Thatslwhy Skeeter defended the African American people a lot because, she recognized the work that the servants did and went through. “For all that the Aftican American people went through” (Sami C.), it was horrible because most of the time they were discriminated against, mistreated or killed by the Kukulkan group that always looked for them to do harm, Skeeter was a very good person because he helped the maids to take out everything that had happened to them as servants. Skeeter was a very compressive person with them, while the servants told him their story, they brought him more so that skitter could make the book. BUUIOng before the maids Gid OL WanEO tell their story they were very afraid but skitter told them that because they did not want to tell the stories if the marches had already passed the Martin Luther King (Donna Batten 27), Skeeter was very insistent so they wanted to tell their story a for one until the servants were saying everything. One of the maids told how she lost her son in an accident, the son was run over butthey could not do anything to cure him since there were no hospitals for the African American people (Stephan27). Everything for them was very difficult because he had no rights at all. from very young the girls began to work as maids and nannies in the houses of the white ladies. One of the servants leaves her house to no longer tolerate her husband who beat her all over she got laid and left home with her daughter. For African-American maids, everything changes for the better because thanks to Martin Luther King for the marches he did so that there was equality of race or gender he had not yet arrived at that penalty (Christenson, EliseS6). But thanks to the heroine of the story that Skeeter had not been freed the servants who lived in the city. Everything changed when the book ‘became popular, the problem became international. All the people of different cities traveled to mock the white ladies who behaved badly with the servants. Everything ended withla/good one with a happy ending since everyone could live with peace and harmony after everything that happened in those times that did not have to happen that was something that could be prevented (fom the beginning since there were marches (Donia Batten). It was just being seen badly walking down the street, now if the kids could go to school they could have fun. “With what happened of Rosa parks the African American people could sit in the front seats since at the beginning no, now if they did not have their seat left as they were in that time “(Svrluga, Susan), There were changes even in hospitals African Americans already had publie services to see a doctor. During his presidential campaign, Mr. Obama, in turn, was aware of the importance of the ial factor in the election process. Speaking of the psychological and cultural legacy of centuries of human bondage and the persistence of anti-black racism and hostility, he onceadmitted that "he has never been so naive as to believe that Americans can get beyond their CGAY ASPECTS GWANSHANEISI) Since Barack Obama was the first African-American president, everything changed in the dirt, there was even a lot of support for society and increased work for African Americans. All saw with a different perspective to society. At present, racism of races is hardly seen, as in those days of the film, that racism was very strong because they treated people worse than animals. The people were bad with African Americans because they wanted to use them as if they were forever, they did not care about them. African-Americans had the worst jobs, they were always second class, when the white people were the first class (Justice).
