The Book The Help is one of my favourite books. The story was set in Jackson, Mississippi in the 1960’s as it follows the story of two maids and their conflicts during this time of history. It taught me that people with privilege need to realize the power they hold in society and use it for the good, to help others in need.  The main characters taught me to be brave enough to stand up for yourself and others. To be equal.
