My Favorite book is The Help by Kathryn Stockett. It is a realilistic fiction about three women, Skeeter, Aibileen, and Minny. Aibileen is a African American maid who is in the process of raising her 17th white child. After her own son died from a tragic accident on the job she becomes very devoted to the little girl she is looking after. Minny, Aibileen's best friend, has the biggest mouth in the town and looses many jobs because of it. But she is an amazing cook and she gets a new job with someone new to the town who doesn't know anything about her mouth. She soon finds out the new boss has secrets too. Skeeter just came back home from college at Ole Miss. She has a degree but her mother won't be happy untill shes married, She would usualy go back to her maid Constinstine, but she has dissappeared and no one will tell her where she's gone. The three women, although very different, have to come together to save what their town stands for. The Help is a novel about the rules we keep and the ones we don't.

Kathryn Stockett was born in Jackson, Mississippi. She graduated from the Unisiversity of Alabama. She moved to New York City and worked with magizine publishing for 9 years. She now lives in Atlanta with her family. The Help was her first and only novel. It was turned down 60 times before being published and becoming a best seller!

Rachel's Challenge About a mounth ago we were given the oppotunity to go to an assembly called Rachel's Challenge. Rachel Scott was the first killed in the Colombine shootings in 1999. Se was an amazing young lady. She lived by and, challenged us to use these 5 rules of life: 1. Elimate Prejudice 2. Dare To Dream 3. Choose Positive Influences 4. Kind Words 5. Start A Chain Reaction (one positive action can start a Chain Reaction)

I think Elimate Prejudice is very important because there is alot of that in our schools and our county as well. If one person stood up to stop prejudice it could really make a diffrence. Rachel's Challenge is definitely helping everyone learn to be nicer people.It was really a life-changing experience and I hope it will continue to help make a diffrence in everybodys life!
