     Come be a part of The Helps webpage and you won’t regret it! You will not only get to hear from the author herself but you get to play fun games and test your knowledge of the book. This website is free to sign up and only takes about two minutes to get an account. You are able to get to see unshown scenes from the movie and hear interviews from the actors, director, and the author of The Help, Kathryn Stockett!

     If you are unfamiliar with the award winning book it is about Aibileen who is a maid for a white family and gets a chance to write about the hardships that maids have to face. “God says we need to love our enemies. It hard to do. But it can start by telling the truth. No one had ever asked me what it feel like to be me. Once I told the truth about that, I felt free.” If you want to learn more about the book check out this website! You are able to play games that portray real events in the story like “food for the party” where you try to get enough food ready for Mrs. Leefolts party like Abilieen had to do before the big party, “Get the house straightened up and then go on and fix some chicken salad.”  You also get to ask questions about the book or author that you have been dying to know in the Q&A and have a chance to hear back from the Author! Along with those cool features you also get to take a quiz and find out which character fits you the best, whether it’s Mrs. Hilly the mean maid owner who wants everything to be her way, Aibileen the sweet, friendly maid known for her big heart, “Aibileen's heart is so big, we just might all fit inside it. or Minny, Abilieens best friend who is not afraid to say what she thinks. And the best part of this free online website would be the unknown facts about the book! For example did you know that Jessica Chastain a vegan, ate soy ice cream melted in the microwave to gain weight for the role of Celia Foote. Or that Kathryn Stockett’s book was rejected 60 times before it was eventually published! These are just some of the interesting, unknown facts you will find out about on this website! On this website you will be connected to all the fans of the Help and learn about other books that people enjoyed that liked The Help.
