Theme Essay

What would do if you were constantly judged because of the color of your skin, how would you deal with that kind of discrimination. If this happened to you wouldn't you use all your determination and perseverance to make a change in your society. In the book The Help by Kathryn Stocket, in the story the main character Aibileen Clark is constantly disrespected for the color of her skin so she decides that she is going use all her determination and perseverance to make a change in her horrid living society.

Aibileen Clark the main character in The Help has constantly struggled with having determination/perseverance  because ever since her son died she hasn't been herself she had lost all hope that this crazy society she lives in will never change. But when she meets Skeeter a witty young girl with a story and courage of her own to change the world. Abilene decides that she is going to help Skeeter. And that's when you see the spark of determination/perseverance she once had comes back into Abilene. So that’s how she showed her determination/perseverance by helping Skeeter write the book even though she knew it was against the laws.

Another sign of determination/perseverance through out the story was when Skeeter was determined to show her opinion on civil rights because when she was young she was raised by her maid Constantine and she believes that she made Skeeter into the person she is today. So she decides that she’s going to make a change in the society by writing a book in the prescriptive of the help. And that’s when she meets Aibileen and Minny two maids who have more than there fair amount of stories to tell. So that’s another example of how Skeeter showed her determination/perseverance was by standing up for what she thought was right.

So another story where the theme was determination/perseverance because all through out their story they were determined to make their relationship work. One way they used determination/perseverance was when even though Bella knew it was never going to be easy for them she still continued to proceed in being determined to make their relaship work. The last way they used determination/perseverance was when Edward tried to avoid Bella for her safety although he loved her he was also determined to make Bella. So this just goes to show that all books can have common themes.

Determination can spark anywhere, in anyone, in anything. And it can even occur in a place where you think all hope is loss and. I just takes one person with determination/perseverance. And once it does you’ll start to see a change. And then gradually you’ll see a wildfire grow until perseverance is inevitable.
