The Help

We have seen the movie «The Help» in the class and it is about a girl who wants to become a writer. That girl is Skeeter. The movie is set in the 1960s. Skeeter wants to write about the black women who have spent their lives taking care of white families. First one black nanny wants to tell their story, but she ends up with many more. Then the book comes out and it turns her own town upside down, including her own friends.

Personally I think the movie “The Help” is really good. I think it reflects the racism and the class distinction in the 1960s. It illustrates how the blacks were oppressed.
