DAY SIXTEEN (Chapter17-19)

Q1 Why has Miss Celia been so secretive about what she does in the bedroom upstairs?

Miss Celia could’t catch a baby for several times,so she bought some catch tonic from some Indians.Of course,she didn’t want anybody to know that.every time,she went upstairs and closed the door behind her and then drunk it.I think maybe it's a shame that you can't have a baby since you got married,so she just kept it as a secret.

Q2 What happens after the dinner at Senator’s house?

Stuart broke up with Miss Skeeter after the dinner.During their dinner,Senator talked about Partricia,and that's the worst thing Stuart wanted to talk about. Partricia betrayed him and went to bed someone whom he would never forgive.and now,what Skeeter knew made him upset and he didn't know what to do,so he decided to let it alone.

The world is cold  for blacks.Yule May wanted to get her two sons go to college,but the problem was,she didn't have enough money for two,so she stole the necklace Miss Hilly never worn after she found it hardly worth anything to sell for money,then she was caught and put into jail.The regular sentence would be six months,but Miss Hilly get it pushed up to four years,just because she knew the judge's wife very well.and even more worse,the trial had done before it even started.The law here was not intend to protect people fairly,it was set up just for the whites.The blacks,they lose their freedom to ask for their rights.

The world  is warm for blacks.Miss Celia was a weak woman and she would stay in bed for 24 hours,but on the day when a naked man tried to rush into the house,she was so brave that she beat the man to death in order to save Minney.Minney was a maid to her,she could have hid for hours to protect herself until the man left,but what makes her rush out to save Minneyuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuum ,Minney believed that there is a line between the blacks and the whites.To some extent,it is true.but from the story we can tell it can be acrossed sometimes.
