I cant say anything for a little while (Stockett
449).
2. Youll always have a job here with us,
Minny. For the rest of your life, if you want to.
Thank you, sir, I say and I mean it. Those are
the best words I could hear today. And I
wonder how it is that I have so much when she
doesnt have any. Hes crying, Shes crying.
We are three fools in the dining room crying
(Stockett 476).

1. This quote illustrates that when Stuart hear


about what Miss Skeeter wrote about her book,
He withdraws and left Miss Skeeter. I wonder
Stuart was not that love Miss Skeeter and he is
coward.

I found the evidence from movie called Mean Girl. On

Miss Celia refuses to get out of bed. She is too


humiliated to move. Hilly has sent her a note banning
her from future League events and demanding that she
donate 200 dollars to the League for all the trouble she
caused. Miss Celia to move until Minny reveals the
details of the chocolate pie she once made for Hilly.
Stuart and Miss Skeeter eventually reconcile and begin
dating again. He asks her to marry him, but when she
tells him the truth about the book, he withdraws his
proposal and leaves. Miss Skeeter, Aibileen, and
Minny finish the book. After six months, Miss Skeeter
finally delivers copies of the book, titled Help. Miss
Celia told Mister Johnny about the babies and the
miscarriages, and he credits Minny for saving his
wife's life during her latest miscarriage.

Movie, a girl could not fit in the group of girls. I could


connect this movie with Miss Celia because they have
some similarity. Miss Celia could not fit in the group
of other white ladies.

Personal/Social/Professional Connection to the text OR Connection to what I have


learned before: Another way to think about it: is there something in the text that reminds me
of something?
(Comments to be no less than 3 sentences)

On chapter 30, it was short but I was really impressed by this chapter. This chapter was summed up best
between Miss Celia and Minny. Beginning of chapters, I could not expect they can become real friends. Miss
Celia and Minny showed really good relationship between African and white people. Their relationship
passed over races and is proved African American and White people are not different.
