Title

I've ran out of creative titles, so I just decided to name this blogpost 'Title'; creative, huh? Well onto the book. The last Three chapters have been centered around Miss Skeeter. Like most, of her chapters, nothing too crazy happened. Her chapters aren't like the jaw-dropping Minny chapters.

During the last three chapters Miss Skeeter 13 people sign up to help with the book, all because of Minny. However, Minny didn't tell Miss Skeeter that of course. Also, Yule May, Hilly's Maid, is put in jail for stealing from Hilly. Yule May asked for a loan from Hilly to send her twin boys to college but Hilly denied her and Yule May ended up stealing a cheap ring that Hilly never wore from her. Hilly had Yule May placed in jail for four years, even though it was just petty stealing. People in Aibileen's neighborhood got really upset about this and they all vouched to pay to send the kids to college, along with help write Aibileen's book.

Along with the drama on the black side of town, there was also drama on Miss Skeeter's side of town. Stuart (Miss Skeeter's boyfriend) invited her and her family over to meet his family. His father is the state senator and his mother very overprotective, so the Phlean's did their very best to look good when going to visit.  Upon, his first siting if Miss Skeeter, Stuart's dad brought up Stuart's ex fiancee making things awkward. Later, he brought Miss Skeeter into a room all by herself telling her about this ex fiancee, Miss Skeeter knew little about. When Miss Skeeter confronted Stuart about her, he got very mad but he finally told her what happened. The woman he was with before Miss Skeeter cheated on him and slept with a civil rights activist. Stuart said that he broke up with her for cheating, but didn't go back to her to protect his father's senate seat. Stuart's father doesn't even know the whole story. Soon after that, he broke up with Miss Skeeter, telling her they needed to take a break. Miss Skeeter told no one of this, not even her parents.

Weeks later, Miss Skeeter arrived at Miss Hilly's for the league meeting. Upon leaving, Miss Hilly stopped Miss Skeeter yelling at her and asking why she hadn't put her initiative to have all maids have their own maids in the league newspaper. Miss Skeeter finally stood up for herself saying that she would not put it in but Hilly fought back. Miss Skeeter even brought up that the money for the benefit was going to black people in Africa, and why couldn't they help the ones in her own county. In the end, Miss Hilly one-ups Miss Skeeter by slyly saying " no wonder Stuart broke up with you".

Miss Hilly just get's meaner every single chapter. She's the rudest character of all of them but she wants everyone to think she's some princess. The past few chapters have been alright, but not the heart-wrenching chapters of Aibileen and Minny. Miss Skeeter; however, is one of my favorite characters. Today is being hailed the biggest snow storm of 2011, granted we're only 32 days in, and i spent the whole day reading. Am I obsessed? Nahh, I just actually like this book.
