What things could you take or would want to take from the beatitudes to apply in your own life as you seek to build the person you want to become?
"You're lesser when you're content with just who you are- no more, no less. that's the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can't be bought.

The Help
1) Aibileen- her son during college was murdered. She works for Elizabeth, taking care of her daughter as she is not capable of doing it herself. She gets attached to the child working for her, and at the end of the movie when she is fired she is forced to leave. Aibileen is also accused by Ms Hilley for stealing, when she clearly never took anything.
Minny- is unable to find a job for quite some time, as Ms Hilly spreads gossip around the town that she has a sass mouth. Minny has a drunk and abusive husband.
Skeeter- is trying to make a career for herself, but because of her gender is often not taken seriously. She writes a book and is dumped by her boyfriend for having a voice. Skeeter's mother also doesn't recognise her daughter's talent for majority of the movie.
2) Aibileen- tells her story to Skeeter otherwise her son will die with her. After she is fired she never world for a white family again, and decided to write. She also asks other maids to share their stories, so they can gain support.
Minny- leaves her husband. She bakes Miss Hilly a pie, containing her poo. She as well helps Skeeter with her story and gains support from other maids.

What might we learn about how to deal with pain and suffering from a knowledge and understanding of Nelson Mandela?
Nelson Mandela was an anti-apartheid activist, and dedicated his life to the equal rights for black South Africans. Imprisoned by Afrikaans, Mandela spent twenty-seven years in jail, due to his protests against Apartheid, and the support he gained globally. It is clear that he spent many many years suffering, and despite this upon his release he did not retaliate or seek revenge from those who had wronged him. He continued to spread his message, until Apartheid collapsed and he achieved his goal. Nelson Mandela forgave.
