Whore Guidos.

I broke my cycle of blogging every chapter but the last five chapters have been AHH-mazing! Chapter 3 opened with Minny, who was recently unemployed,  searching for a new job. She finally finds one with a nice young woman (the woman Aibileen tried to set her up with) , good pay, and small hours but as with many things, it comes with a catch. You see, Minny was hired by a woman named Miss Celia who most of the ladies in town hate, because she married Hilly’s ex fiance or something. Miss Celia lives in her big ol’ mansion all by herself with her husband coming home only at night. Her house is a wreck, clothes everywhere, food everywhere, and dust EVERYWHERE. Miss Celia hires Minny without her husband knowing; at first Minny’s not okay with that but she needs all the money she can get so she takes to job anyway, on a promise that Miss Celia will tell her husband about Minny before christmas. Things are going fine until one day, Mr. Johnny (Miss Celia’s Husband) come’s home with Minny still there. Minny rushes into Miss Celia’s room, both of them in shock, chapter four closes with Minny hiding in the guest bathroom, crouched like a fool on top of a white lady’s toilet. Look at me. Look what it’s come to or Minny Jackson to make a damn living...(chapter four concludes).

Chapter five opens with Miss Skeeter. A tall, quirky woman who first made an appearance in chapter one asking Aibileen if she ever wanted to change things. This chapter dives right into the personal life of Miss Skeeter, formally known as Eugenia Phlean. Miss Skeeter grew up in Jackson under the care of Constantine, her maid. When Miss Skeeter goes off to college and returns, she comes home to no Constantine. Her mother claims Constantine quit and moved to chicago with her family. Miss Skeeter is distraught and can’t believe Constantine would jus take off and not say goodbye. Meanwhile, Miss Skeeter (an asprining journalist) receives a letter from a newspaper firm in New York, saying that although they do not hire journalists w/o five years of experience if she would get a job at her local newspaper firm and write them a letter of her dislikes about anything they would consider giving her a job. Miss Skeeter then finds a job writing in her local cleaning column; however, with her not knowing a thing about cleaning, she asks for Aiblileen’s help. At first, Aibileen is reluctant to help her but soon gives in. Knowing that Aibilieen knew Constantine very well, everyday Miss Skeeter will ask something about her. It is here where Miss Skeeter finds out the truth about Constantine. Constantine did not run away like Miss Skeeter’s mother had said so, instead she was fired. Although Constantine looked fully Black, her father was white and her mother was black and when Constantine had a daughter, she looked Yellow. One day Constantine’s daughter came to visit and on Miss Skeeter’s mother viewing of her, she later fired Constantine... but this is all we know so far. Upon Miss Skeeter’s return home, she receives a letter in the mail from the newspaper firm in New York saying her letter was too dull and wishing she would get deeper into things she disliked. Later in her room crying, she receives a knock on her door from her new maid. Then it hits her, she will write about black people working for white people, an idea Aibileen had given her when she told of her now dead son doing the same thing. What will happen to Miss Skeeter? Only pages will tell. 

In other news, Jersey Shore is on tonight. I’ve stopped reading so I can quickly write this blog in order to tune in. Is it sad that i’ve scarified valuable reading time for whore guidos? Maybe, but I don’t care.
