In the book “The
help” by Kathrin Stockett, there are many complex issues that are presented
that cause some of the main events in the text, but the main issue is racism.
The
issue of racism is very apparent in the book and is a key conflict that leads
to many events in the book. One example of why racism is what causes conflicts
in the book is when Skeeter Phelan is having trouble recruiting maids to
interview for her book. This is happening because the maids are fearful for the
lives of themselves and their families. Because the racism at the time was so
harsh, members of the K.K.K. and others would sometimes go as far as murdering
blacks or other minorities.
Another
example of why racism is a main cause of many events in the text is when Minny
Jackson is having a hard time finding work. This is because at the time there
were hardly any jobs for black women so most worked as maids in white house
holds. Because Minny is constantly
speaking her mind and sharing her opinion to her employers which wasn’t expectable
at the time, she is also getting fired.
The
books main cause of conflict is racism. Throughout the book it is a key cause
for many events that take place. The issue of racism is a large one and can
cause many conflicting events to take place.
