Ailbeens first interview.
Did Miss Skeeter drive her mother's cadillac and think people wouldn't notice her in a colored neighborhood? I only say this because things were so obvious in those days.
Now you would never think of this notion. A white girls driving to an older black women's house to talk. That's not a huge deal. However, still racism exists and people think it may be unusual that these two women interact?
Cinnamon cookies... the smell. I can smell the fresh made cookies and want to enjoy one with a cup of hot tea.
The history. Ailbeen's story is so interesting. Her mom was a maid, grandma was a house slave, and now Ailbeen si a maid like her mama. Times did change but not fast enough.
The nervousness. I feel the fear that Ailbeena and Miss Skeeter both feel as they talk.
The women in the south talk about the hippy movements like a disgrace of some sort. They were so conservative! Old fashioned.
The surgeon general finally came out during this time telling people smoking could kill you.
Ailbeen writes! She doesn't say her prayers but writes them, This will be so helpful and more heartfelt than I expected. This book I already have seen in film but so many detail I forget until I read the book.
