Compare And Contrast Celia Foote And Eugenia

Would you have taken action to help people even though society deplores you from doing it?In the 1800’s in America to different individuals took a stand of what society did not have the courage to do.The author Ina chang wrote a biography about the abolitionist Angelina Grimke and Clara Barton,who both were doing grateful things in dangerous situation.Both individuals while being in different situation.Both individuals while being in different situation they were brave enough to take on situations that many people don’t have the courage to do.

I think these two ladies need a round of applause for what they have done don’t you think they need it ? They also both took care of someone in different ways like in, “ Raymond’s run” she took care of her brother by helping him every day of her life like giving him food, taking him everywhere and setting out clothes while in the book, “Thank you m’am” Mrs. Jones took care of the boy in a different way like she taught him a lesson, gave him food , money and a towel to wipe his face. And this should have taught you how to be caring to people stranger or not you should still be kind and nice but most of all caring because you will feel good inside and someday they might just do the same thing for someone

Sally and her children were able to get through terrible times because of their connections with some white people. The Thomas family played it very smart, they knew when and when not to say something. They used their kindness as a technique to better themselves and start an amazing and bright future for the rest of the Thomas family. If the connections weren’t made, who knows where the Thomas family would stand today. The family consisted of many strong individuals who never gave up.

One example of kindness is when the doctor helped Elie with his infected swollen foot. Elie got sent to the hospital by of the gestapo's because he saw his foot that was swollen so he sent Elie to get cured. “The operation lasted an hour. They had not put me to sleep.

In my opinion, I think Anna Hutchinson is a good model for Hester Prynne, because Anne was a radical Puritan leader who resembles Hester. However, it was based on her strengths, beliefs, and the flexibility of her personality. Although, it did not cow down from the harshness that imposed by the state of the things and the politics of the settlement because of her independence. In the beginning of both of Hester's and Anne's they both started out with a dissimilar road.

The black women would care for the children while the mother worked or played bridge with her friends. This association was called The Help. One of many of the interesting characters in The Help is, Mrs. Celia Foote. Mrs. Celia Foote, from Sugar Ditch, Mississippi, doesn’t quite fit in with the rest of the women in her town. Her upbringing, is not quite as “elegant”

This kindness can come out because of different reasons and it can cause the hero to do what is right in the end. In The Count of Monte Cristo, Edmond is able to let this kindness come out when he finds out Monsieur de Villefort’s wife has killed herself. “Monte Cristo paled at the horrible sight. He realized that he had gone beyond the limits of rightful vengeance”(Dumas 485). This realization that he had done wrong, causes him to help Maximilien as a way of paying back what he did to the people he hurt.

In The Help, white women abused black women. Black women were treated as inferior to white women. Minny a black maid, is first introduced to the reader when she is working for Miss Walters. Not long after we meet Minny she is fired because Miss Walters is going to an assisted

Another character who is effected by the standards of beauty during this time period is Geraldine. She does everything she can to make herself and her son, Junior, as white as she can. As she raised Junior, she “did not allow her baby, Junior, to cry. As long as his needs were physical, she could meet them” (Morrison 86). Geraldine and the women that Morrison describes that are like her, are just like the white women in their town.

There are five white female characters that help make up The Help and the only blacks being the maids themselves. One is the protagonist, Miss Skeeter Phelan who in my opinion is only viewed this way because she is the one supposedly helping the black women out by exposing the inequalities and injustices that black women faced during this time period but I feel she used them to empower herself as a white women and progress in her own life. Another white female character is Hilly Holbrook

Being kind means to be selfless, caring and giving. An example of kindness in the book Tree Girl by Ben Mikealsen, is when Gabriela gives the tarp back to the old ladies. Gabriela had fought the old ladies for the tarp, but upon realizing how much harder it was for the old ladies to get supplies, she gave the tarp back. Gabriela demonstrates being caring and giving to the old ladies, even though she also needed the tarp. Another example of a kind person is in the article "I wanted my life back..."

In The Help there are so many amazing characters, and unfortunately the movie did not allow some of them to reach their full potential. This is most evident in Miss Celia Rae Foote. Miss Celia is sweetheart but she is an airhead, who is considered white trash, tramp for marrying the evil Miss Hilly’s ex boyfriend and for dressing provocatively. In the movie, that is as deep as her character develops. In the novel, there is more depth to Miss Celia and her relationship with her maid Minny Jackson. Miss Celia shows us in the novel that even though she lives in such an ugly world it’s okay to be happy and to love people. While in the movie it just seems that she lets Minny disrespect her because she’s not smart enough to catch it. In the novel,

The Help brings light to this idea of domestic victims being very mistreated and ultimately being dehumanized because of the color of their skin. “I want to yell so loud that Baby Girl can hear me that dirty ain't a color, disease ain't the negro side of town. I want to stop that moment from coming – and it come in every white child's life – when they start to think that colored folks are not as good as whites.”(Stockett 80) This passage brings up how children are born with prejudice thoughts and how it is taught by the older generations. Aibileen tries to keep Mae Mobley's mind from being polluted from these horrible thoughts. Critics argue that the maids should not teach the child this because they are not really their parents it still seems as if it is their job to teach the child this because they are so affected. Kathryn Stockett does a great job of demonstrating the racist and prejudice thoughts that affected these innocent

Part 1 - In American author's 2009 book, The Help, the primary thesis is the relationship between Black maids and white households in Jackson, Mississippi during the early 1960s. The story is really told from three perspectives, Aibileen and Minny are Black women, both maids, and Skeeter is the nickname of Eugenia Phelan, daughter of a prominent White family. Skeeter has just finished school and hopes to become a writer. In general, the relationship between the Black maids and the White employers is six sided: On one side we have the White employers who have three views: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that can range from extreme scorn and bias to kindness regarding race; 2) Their public persona that must have the "proper" attitude about Blacks and "the help," and 3) Their employer attitude, which is condescending and parental. The Black view also has three segments: 1) Their personal and private beliefs that usually range from understanding not all Whites are the same and an extreme love and empathy for the White children for whom they care; 2) The public persona that is deferential, polite, and stoic to their White bosses; and 3) Their attitude and view among the Black community, which usually separates the "poor and ignorant but rich" White souls from the Black view of family and common sense. All in all, the relationship is contentious, phony, and based on economic advantage.

Although the maids were struggling and going through a difficult time in 1960’s, The Help portrays that their family members were too. Segregated society against the backdrop of the growing US civil rights movement in the 1960’s has an impacted. “Race also determines who has access to educational, occupational, and economic opportunity. Racial tensions are high as white community members employ violence and coercion to try to keep the Civil Rights Movement from sweeping into their Mississippi town” (Shmoop Editorial Team). The white community in the movie continue to keep the black women as their servants throughout their lives. As Skeeter the white lady, who writes a book about The Help and portrays through the book that the African American women go through. As the white women of Jackson, Mississippi read the book they began to act more violent to the black women. The book is away as the black women to make a statement about the civil rights they have.
