After a lot of asking and perseverance, Skeeter convinced Aibleen to talk and be interviewed about her life and how it is working as a maid. Aibleen is nervous she will get caught and hurt and Skeeter is nervous that the editor will not like what she has come up with. After a few interviews with Aibleen the editor calls Skeeter to tell her that she will need to find more people to interview. Aibleen turned her sights to convincing Minny to join. After much persuasion, the stubborn Minny actually decided to talk to Skeeter. Minny would only do it if she was on the opposite side of the room as Skeeter so she could keep an eye on her.
Earlier in the book Skeeter went on a date with a man named Stuart. Stuart was a handsome, smart, and reputable man. Surprisingly, Stuart got very drunk and rude on their first date. Stuart came back and explained how he was not ready for that date since it was too soon after his breakup but that he would love to take Skeeter out again. Skeeter had a great time and Stuart acted like a gentleman. They have been going on dates periodically since then.
One aspect that really makes this book interesting besides the content is the way it is written. Like I said before, the three points of views in this book are Aibileen, Minny, and Skeeter. In each seperate section the dialect and language is different. Skeeter's language is somewhat more proper and educated while Aibileen and uses more slang terms and words that are realistic to the type of person she is and helps bring what is happening to life.
