Hilly Holbrook - The Help



I have chosen to base my re write on the film "The Help". My re write will be based on Hilly Holbrook who is a white lady that has no respect what so ever for the Black Race. This is a quick overview of Hilly as an adult - Hilly's world and vision – her ignorance about the lives and traditions of African people with her patronizing attitude toward them, mirrors her ideas about the black people in her own community. She believes that the black people in Jackson are poor because they are lazy and don't spend money wisely, and therefore don't even deserve a living wage.

I am going to write when she was a child and to why she has so much hate for the Black/African community, did something happen when she was a child?

It will also incorporate what the Black/ African maid's point of view is.

I will incorporate more in my re write when i have done more research, this is just a little outline of how i will do this re write.
