The Help

You are Skeeler, you are writing to a very close friend of yours in NY.
You are shocked about some of the stories you've heard from the afroamerican house helpers.Write a letter of about 220-250 words.
Tell your friend some of the stories you have learnt fom them.

Hello Emma,

 I really miss you, how is life going? and how is your family? It's been so long since we last talked!
I am writing to you because i want to share with you some of the stories that i have learnt and heard from the afroamerican house helprs,about what is working in a white person's house is like, how the white people treat them, and how it feels working for them.After hearing all that, i have to tell you,that i am really shocked and i can't believe how battered they should feel.

To start with, i heard a story from an afroamerican house helper that left me amazed, what she said was that when she went to the house where she works and and went to wake up the little girl and change her diaper, the little girl was all dirty because the mother had not changed her during the night or day because she believes that the black house helper should change the baby's diapers.
Also, i had heard form another black house helper that as long as she has been working in that house,she can't use the toilet that is inside the house,because the white peple said that the afroamerican " infected" them with many differet diseases.So if she wants to go to the toilet she has to go to one that is outside the house,even thought when it is raining outside,they can't use the one that is indoors the house.Isn't that inhuman?
Apart from that, what i had heard from many black women is that white people made them feel really bad, because of the way they talk to them and how they treated them.They said that white people treat them as if they were dogs,and also they said that the white people shout at them and didn't respect them at all.
Another story that i heard from an afroamerican house helper, was about the son of one of them.This story was really shocking for me.What this woman said was that,one day her son was working in a white person's house,when he fell and got hurt.When the white person saw that,he took him to the hospital for black people, however, he didn't stay there, he left him lying there and the afroamerican died that day.
What's more,here in Mississippi there are a lot of restrictive laws and descrimination to black people, for example they have separate hospitals and bathrooms from the white people.White people never touch them or use the same things or utensills that a black use because they said that they can transmit diseases and can get infected.
To conclude, i wonder to ask you how are afroamerican house helpers treated in New York, because i really want to know.I  believe that were i live this people are treated very badly and they are really being descriminated all the time!

much love, Skeeler.
