Prejudice And Racism In The Help By Kathryn Stockett

The novel The Help by “Kathryn Stockett” was published in 2009. The book was created to shed light on the racism in our time and in the daily lives of the white citizens, in Jackson 1960s. The novel was a successes, expressing many valid points about the prejudice of those of other races and giving clear insight into their lives. Then in 2011 a movie was created, following the storyline of the novel. For the most part the movie followed the same story line, but there were many important scenes, that were not included. This created a more simplistic view on racism in the 1960s, leaving many readers unsatisfied with the overall outcome of the film. Some of the main differences are, prime aspects of Constantine’s life, the noticeable different scale that racism is on, and important elements of Skeeter’s life. The replacement and sometimes removal of these aspects, where very poorly chosen and removed development for some of the plot. (missing 1 difference)

The prejudice against her being too strong, to have been allowed to raise a white looking child. (2 points, missing symbolism, missing
