Chapter 5 Review!

People Who are Taking the Time to Read This (Probably Nobody),

                 It is 8:30am where I am living and we are having a work period in class, I believe this is to early to function so pardon the bad jokes I may make. 

                  We are now reviewing Chapter 5, which is from the 3rd point of view we will view in this story. This is from the point of view of my favorite character, Eugenia (Skeeter (what we will call her)) Phelan. She is 23 years old and not yet married which is viewed as odd in 1962 Jackson, Mississippi. Skeeter is best friends with Hilly Holbrook and Elizabeth Leefort since elementary school. Hilly and Skeeter went to Ole Miss together until Hilly and most of Skeeters friends dropped out to get married. Skeeters Mom, Mrs. Charlotte Boudreaux Cantrelle Phelan, believes she should get a job where she would be able to find a husband and that her trust fund makes up for her lack of beauty. Skeeter is thinking about Hilly's outside bathroom project and her former maid Constantine, who was working for the Phelan family until just before Skeeter came back from Ole Miss in which she just moved with her family to Chicago with no new address.  Also before Skeeter left Ole Miss she applied for a job at an editing company in New York. 

                   Skeeter is a very interesting character due to the fact that she is the only white female in the novel that has a point of view since Minny and Aibileen are both African-American. She is one of the few women in Jackson that has a degree from university or college since most women dropped out before they could complete their degree so they could get married. She did not drop out which makes her so much more educated and intimidating to men that might consider dating her. Also I believe Skeeter is out of the loop from her friends who are married with children and she is living an independent life. 

                  The song of this chapter is Miss Independent sung by Kelly Clarkson, I feel this repersent Skeeter because she is independent who does not need a man in her life to make it or break it.
