I have enjoyed doing the weekly PRABE. I did this for my Introduction to Reading as well. I did not have as much time to read this time around. Doing the PRABE reminds me that reading is something that I miss doing. Sometimes it is hard to find the time to do it but, it something that I would like to continue trying to do. I plan on continuing to read at least 90 minutes a week. I think continuing this will be helpful. I think I will be able to do this after the holidays. I currently work but, I will not returning after the holidays. I am hoping that this will give me more time to focus on school, reading, and my family. I am excited to be able to have more free time to do what I need to do to better myself and finish school.

Skeeter has now started to interview many of the maids. Although they fear somebody may find out, they do it anyway. They have started to tell Skeeter what their life is like. During the interviews a lot happens with the maids. Skeeter eventually finds out that her childhood maid, Constantine, dies after moving to Chicago. Celia also admits to Minny that she has had four miscarriages and is afraid that Johnny will leave her if she cant have kids. Celia continues to try to be friends with the women in Junior League.  After Skeeter has finished she publishes it and gives it the title "Help". Skeeter is offered a job in New York and accepts it, only after convincing her boss to let Aiblileen take over the Miss Myrna column. Aibileen is fired but is excited to start a new job.

Skeeter continues to interview Aibileen. She finds out about her family when she was little. Aibileen also tells her son dying as well. Aibileen has now told Minny about the interviews. Minny decides that she will talk to Skeeter too. Skeeter asks Aibileen to find more maids that want to talk about their lives. Skeeter wanted to learn more about how they are treated at their jobs and how their lives are so much different. Skeeter has been gone every night interviewing Minny and Aibileen. Her mother started to wonder where she is, Skeeter does not want anyone to find out.
