I have finished my book and what a sad day! When reading, I always want to know how the story will end and can't wait to finish. Then when I do, it is like I have lost my best friend who I will never see again. I have that lost feeling, what am I going to do now and I did not get all the information I was wanting to have regarding the characters in the story. This is how I felt today. I could not help but to think about how people were treated not only during the time period in which this book was written, but how I treat those who serve me when I am out in the community; sales people, waitresses, and other service providers. Am I giving them respect and the appreciation they deserve?
"The Help" was a really fun read. Oh by the way I said in an earlier post I wanted to know what Minnie put in that pie, all I can say is yuck! If you want to know what it was, read the book.

That's not your fountian

At one point in our conversation (if you want to call it that since he was the only conversing) he started to tell me as a kid he had drank out of the wrong water fountain to have his mother stop him and tell him that fountain was for Whites only and that he was to drink from this other fountain. Since I am currently reading "The Help" I found his story even more interesting. I have never visited with someone who had experienced discrimination during this time period.
Nothing profound to say, just thought the timing was perfect and wanted to share.

If you are reading or have read this book I am wondering who your favorite charater is and why.
