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?

Why To Kill A Mockingbird?

            I just started the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. This book is really good so far. I just passed the part where Ms. Maudie’s house got burned down. I’m sort of puzzled with this Boo Radley thing. Is he the one who hid those things in the tree for the Finch kids? Was he the one who put the blanket on Scout? If he is the one why isn’t he coming out to acknowledge them? I have so many questions reading this book even though it’s really good. I think they will be answered later on.

          I’ve never read a book like this before. It’s so different. One thing that is sort of confusing me is that where did the title come from? I don’t see the title relating to anything so far. I have a feeling it has to do something with the Radleys. If not I’m sure it’s something that will happen later on in Scout’s life. I have nothing to talk about this book. Only questions.

          I think I will be able to say more once I finish the book but I’m no where near it so far. So far I really like it other than the questions.
