Evaluation of the Author. 

In my opinion the author, Kathryn Stockett did an excellent job on character development. She made how you felt about the characters strong emotions. Either you love them or you hate them or you feel bad for them. This novel made me laugh, cry, and be mad. It also opened my eyes to a different perspective, on how you may not think something is offensive to someone when it could be very hurtful. Thanks to this book I think twice on how I talk or ask for things or even think sometimes. The author used many different ways of expressing character’s feelings. She would show the story from the point of view of the owner of the house, and the maid, also she showed the differences of how maids were or are treated when there are guests and just alone at the house. I also noticed that Kathryn Stockett uses character’s past to make you feel a certain way about them. Something I thought was very clever. I think that the Author of this novel did a fantastic job on the character development. I would recommend this book to anyone, any gender or age I think that it is very important that people read this book and grasp what it was like in the life of a maid in the 1960’s.
