Re-Write info

Before i start posting my Re-Write i thought i would give you a little back information on 'The Help' So you understand my Re-Write a little better.

The Help is set in 1962 in the small town of Jackon Mississippi. It is about African American maids working in white households. is told from the point of view of three narrators: Aibileen Clark, a middle-aged African-American maid who has spent her life raising white children, and who has recently lost her only son; Minny Jackson, an African-American maid whose back-talk towards her employers results in her having to frequently change jobs, exacerbating her desperate need for work as well as her family's struggle with money; and Eugenia "Skeeter" Phelan, a young white woman and recent college graduate who, after moving back home, discovers that a maid that helped raise her since childhood has abruptly disappeared and her attempts to find her have come to naught. The stories of the three women intertwine to explain how life in Jackson, Mississippi revolves around "the help", with complex relations of power, money, emotion, and intimacy tying together the white and black families of Jackson.

My Re-Write is going to focus on Celia Foote who hires Minny Jackson to be her maid. She is the newest resident of Jackson and doesnt know lines are drawn so treats Minny the same as she would treat any white person; she even eats dinner with Minny which is unknown. Im going to focues on Celia's life before Jackson, go into her back story as to why she feels so comfortable around Minny - a black maid. How she met Johnny Foote and go further into her point of view in her time leading up to Jackson. I think it will be really intersting to get an outsiders point of view in all of this and im really enjoying what i have written so far.
