Mahalak's+UPages+Brainstorming

After brainstorming about the perfect novel for my class to read, I finally decided on //The Help//. The reason I think this novel would be wonderful for students to read is because it is full of intelligent and universal themes. These are themes that the students can relate to and understand more clearly from the circumstances in the story. It also provides great insight into the history of women who worked as help back in the day. The students will read several stories from different women who all endured the struggle for freedom. I want my students to understand what it use to be like for certain people and how much we should all cherish our lives now. //The Help// is a story that deals with deep love and a whole lot of bitter people. Students can see the inner workings of a segregated society in Mississippi and how mistreatment affected not only those from the help, but those who were in power.
