Response About "The Help"

       I just started the book "The Help" by Kathryn Stockett. Looking at the cover I really didn't think this book would turn out to be interesting but the beginning sucked me in which is sort of shocking now that I think about it. It proves the phrase "don't judge a book by its cover." Anyway, in this book I was sort of confused about the way Miss Celia acts in the book. Minny is confused and so am I. I mean why does she act like that. I feel like she's had a very bad but unique past.
      She doesn't know how to treat Minny. It's almost like Minny is her friend not a maid. I feel like that Miss Celia had a different past then all the other woman. I know she grew up in a different town but that town may have had very different customs. They probably didn't have maids. I also don't think Miss Celia had a very nice childhood. She doesn't now how to do anything which means whoever she lived with did all the work. Was her childhood really bad? Is she going through depression of something?
