The Help is a story that explains what life was like for black and white women and men in Jackson, Mississippi. I am writing a letter from one of the main characters, Skeeter, to one of the African American maids in the book, Constantine.
Dear Constantine,
Where are you? My mother won't tell me why you're gone, and my father won't either. No one has given me an address to write you letters, and find where you are. I miss you Constantine. Why did you have to leave? Why didn't you tell me where you were going? If you were here, you would be so proud of me. I got a job at the Jackson Journal, and I write Miss Myrna's cleaning articles! The issue with this job is that I don't know anything about cleaning. Right before my articles are due, I got o Miss Elizabeth's house and ask her maid Aibilene the answers to the letters that are sent to Miss Myrna. If you were here, I would have asked you to help me. I don't know our maid very well, and it is uncomfortable to talk to her like I used to talk to you. Mother is getting on my nerves. She is not supportive of my decisions, and she is constantly yelling at me about something. I miss the way things were when you were still here. I hope that you eventually get this letter, and I hope that you come back. I hope that you are doing well.
Sincerely,
Skeeter
