Somehow each week I get more and more into reading about the psychological and physical beating’s of all of the poor women in my book. These women really go through it, when I tell you they can never catch a break they really can’t. For this week I am 100% excited to tell you all about the astonishing events that went down in the reading. Skeeter really has her work cut out for her this week.
This week I read a few chapters going on about the book writing and everything that you heard about last week. But this week Skeeter calls Missus Elaine Stein to see when he is going to be able to submit her manuscript to her. Not only that but Skeeters mother is awfully sick and is having an in home doctor come to check on her because she is too weak to leave. Both of these events are greatly affecting Skeeter and everything she is about to do in these next couple of weeks.
Starting with the call the Missus Elaine Stein, Skeeter is trying to submit the manuscript of the book to her in order to get it published. This event made me feel excited in a way because Skeeter was about to get her book published. She was not doing it for herself she was doing it for the good of the black women around her. The thing that went well was the writing of the book because all of the cooperation she received from the women participating. Not only that but this also went well because Skeeter was determined to help these poor women the entire time. All in all nothing about her writing this book went bad really. The black women were all safe and sound in the end and so was Skeeter. I responded to this positively by smiling while I read that skeeter was going to get the book published. I would change how the white families treat the black women because its inhumane and completely wrong. This matters because the black women did not deserve and still do not deserve to get treated like they are not even people.
Next I would like to address Skeeters mom being sick. Not just any kind of sick either, shes so sick and brittle that she has an in home doctor that comes to see her. This event made me feel sad because Skeeters mother may have not been the best mom but that was her mom and she is slowly dying. Nothing about this situation has gone well except the last burst of fight her mom got by not throwing up that green bile for a week. The thing that was the hardest was that the mother was dying this was the hardest thing because there was hardly a chance at saving her. I responded to this negatively because it was a sad time and it would affect many in the community. I would change the doctors motivation to save Skeeters mom because he kinda just has no hope when she doesn’t throw up for a week. This matters because Skeeters mom played a big role in many peoples lives and this would stun multiple.
In conclusion, this week my reading still stuck to the thematic statement of no matter how much you do for a person and how good you are to them cannot force them to be good to you and do nice things back. Even though I did not use examples of much altruism, it should be known that there were many altruistic actions during these chapters. In the end I would rate this book a 10/10 and I would read it again myself!
