Blog post critical thinking
Question number 3: How does this text make you think about justice in the world?
I recently read a book called The Help. It was about 3 women who fought for their justice being that they lived in a time where there was heavy racism. The three of them take a huge risk and write a tell-all story about how it was being a black house maid. This book made me think about justice in the world because in the story their fighting for rights against the racism in Mississippi. There is a law that's trying to be passed that all colored people have to use separate bathrooms than white people which isn't right. Things like that happen through this story and it makes me think about how things changed from then to now. A lot of things changed like black and white people can be together anywhere now, and there is less discrimination used in America. This makes me realize that people have changed and black people have gotten most of their justice. What I mean by that is that even though we can be around the same places as the other race; there is still a lot of discrimination used. But, it is not as common which is a big step for America. In the story, the three woman get their justice in the end because they took a risk for what they wanted. This teaches me that is there is something that I think it unfair, I should fight for my justice and for what I know is right. Justice is something that everyone deserves and should have.
