In both the visual representation and the written version of The Help we are able to view these characters intertwine their stories with each other, to…

Living in Hudson isn’t half bad. Then again it’s not bad at all. It’s probably one of the best places in the midwest to grow up. Besides living in Florida or California where it’s always warm and sunny, Hudson is closest to the best. I don’t know much about South Africa, but I bet their living conditions are subpar compared to Hudson. I go to the parks and walk the streets and people say hello and are very friendly. I don’t know if that’s the way South Africa and Nelson Mandela’s life was…

Behind these men is a fire with people walking across it carrying objects and things shaped as animals or creatures. Since the men have never once stepped outside, they believe this to be their reality. One day…
Imagine waking up at five in the morning and having to go work out in a cotton field for 12 hours, and what do you receive? Nothing. Slavery, and child labor. These are examples of people who deserve freedom. Things like this still happen everyday. How would you feel if this was you?
