Literature Analysis

 1 This took place in the 1960s in Mississippi. It's about a southern journalist named Skeeter, returning from college with dreams of being a writer. She had decided to interview the black women who had spent their lives taking care of white families. One of the Characters who later showed up was Aibileen, an African American women who cared for a two year old girl who she loved dearly..... It shows both perspectives of both women in the book. Later on new characters come in, Minny, hilly and Celia. 


2. The main theme would be radical prejudice: hate toward African Americans. All white characters are racist besides Skeeter . In the 1960's, where they still had to be segregated.


3. Skeeters routine everyday would be drinking coffee than brushing her teeth, then going to work. She worked at The Jackson Journal. After work she would hang out with her friends. This would be a daily thing up until the middle of the book.


4. Some literary techniques i have see so far would be Foreshadowing, Point of View, Tone, and Allusions. One descriptive technique would be Allusions. In the book, it reflects to the real life violence that is against African Americans. Aibileen was very fearful if they found out that the person that the journalist was talking about, was her. She was at risk of getting jailed or even worse, getting beat up by the police.

The government burns any books or magazines that may have information that will open the eyes of the people. In this specific world, the government k

Reflection essay

This semester was unlike any other, it was very different specifically because of the pandemic.      This course really stands out because it wasn't really about just giving assignments, we learned in a different way and I admire that. THE course has also been on a different website and we upload our stuff on Blogs which was a lot to get used to since it was my first time using it. This course, I would say, is very unique.        Most meaningful to me would be that you introduced me to these bogs where we can post on how we feel and I think that is great. What I also like is how you understand our situation and how sometimes we just cant do our work. Many teachers just gives us a lot of assignments without asking us on how we feel and I'm glad that at least one understands      Not procrastinating as much as I used to, is a huge accomplishment for me. I'm proud that I never gave up in this course so that is what matters. Another thing that I'm proud of would be basicall

How I Read

 What I liked about the story was how the author predicted defunding the police and the cars that drive themselves.  He used different techniques but the one that stand out to me was how he told the story in a creepy way but also in a interesting way that made me want to read more.
