I slept horribly, disturbing dreams with changing faces in wrong contexts filling my head and waking me up every other hour.

Elizabeth sat behind the table and tapped her fingers on the hard and cold wood. She had made sure that the workers had cleaned the castle, which they had. The castle was spotless, well almost. Before Elizabeth made her way to the dinning room she had checked in with the cooks and entering the kitchen she could see the humongous mess inside.

“Were ever could my sister be? I swear if she’s still in bed, she’ll be in so much trouble.” She slammed a fist into the wood, making the nearest servant flinch. Elizabeth looked straight at the servant and scowled. “What are you looking at‽” The servant looked away from Elizabeth. “N-Nothing, Princess Elizabeth.” She silently growled at the servant and dismissed her from the dining room.

“The Help” by Kathryn Stockett was an okay book. I feel like there’s not any other way to phrase it besides “okay”. To me, it was hard to find lovability in most of the characters and some of the plot dragged on longer than it could have. I don’t find her writing style the most appealing, either. However, I cannot deny a wonderful concept when I see it, and this book has a concept that needed to be written. I think, maybe, if some other writer at written it, I would have liked the book a lot more.
The book starts out in August of 1962, where Aibileen Clark is working in Elizabeth Leefolt’s household. Elizabeth’s got a two-year-old daughter named Mae Mobley that Aibileen is practically raising. In comes my first issue: the development of the plot through Aibileen. I think that Aibileen was a static character. I noticed very little change in her character, and it felt like a hindrance to the plot.

To Sojourner Truth, who led a life of hardship and discrimination in the name of the Lord her God. Having suffered under the hand of many masters, she took her experiences and shared them with the world, becoming an advocate for equality, not just among white men and men of color, or of white women to white men, but to all. She turned to God for help, working for her sustenance and not taking more later in life (Gilbert). She traveled and preached, speaking at the same meetings as those such as Frederick Douglass and other well-known reformers (Painter).
She was born a slave and raised as such under several different masters. She learned of God from her mother, and she prayed to him always when she was under cruel masters. When she came to the home of a kind master, however, she soon forgot of God (Gilbert). This changed when her son was sold off, taken out of New York (where slaves all were to be freed soon) to Alabama into permanent slavehood. This was very illegal, and Isabella, as she was known at the time, fought hard to get her son back (Gilbert). She got him back, this act in itself an example of her going against the grain for what she saw as right. She continued to do this for the rest of her life: even though she couldn’t lead a church of her own as a woman, she traveled around the country, telling of God and Jesus. She also spread ideals of equality between sexes, races, and even classes. Her most famous quote, “Ain’t I a woman?”, comes from a speech in response to men explaining why women shouldn’t have the same rights; of how men said women had to be helped in carriages or over muddy puddles, and never had to work. Sojourner, in turn, talked of how she was a woman, but no one ever helped her, and she had worked just as hard as any man to live (Truth). So this is to you, Truth, for all that you’ve done for equality. May your memory continue for years to come.

The therapist cured me of my senseless rage. I'm still angry, but now I've got a reason.

Я сижу и жду еще около 40 минут для звонка и думаю, почему есть 90 минут, чтобы сделать простой одностраничный тест.
