can anyone help me? I need help improving my vocb in my introduction.
What do you need help with?
just improving my intro with bigger words and stuff hah
Maids were amongst the likes of slaves in the 1950’s. Racial tensions were high and discrimination was fluttering. This is depicted in the novel The Help by Kathryn Stockett. Stockett describes the lives of African Americans and the women’s roles during the 1950’s and 1960’s. There were many racist acts toward African Americans especially towards Minny and Aibileen two black women working as maids in the novel. The story takes place in Jackson Mississippi where a young white woman named Skeeter lived for most her life. Skeeter fought for Civil Rights secretly. She helped the maids by trying to publish a book about their lives as maids and how they are treated. This book is a great illustration of how African Americans lived back in the 1960’s. During the 1950's and 1960's African Americans never seem to be equal with the white society due to the color of their skin, and their different personalities. Blacks have been discriminated against for generations and separated from whites by law. Segregation has oppressed blacks for years. For example there are different public bathrooms for colored and for whites. There were water fountains for black and only colored schools. There were laws prohibiting black from haves certain rights which lead to civil rights movement’s that lead to violence and chaos. African Americans are threatened by groups if they don't follow the law or rules. In the book The Help by Kathryn Stockett, she shows how racism and discrimination destroys the chance of the American dream for African American.
I actually wouldn't change a thing! Sorry if that isn't much help. But it looks great. :)
my teacher want its to be two paragraphs the instructions are right here. Your introduction will be two paragraphs. You can switch the order of the paragraphs (history first, then literature) but you will always begin first with an attn-getter and end the second paragraph with your thesis. first paragraph -attention getter -trnsition -introduce novel and author -relevant plot summary/issues in the novel transition to histopry parahgraph then for second paragraph -explain relevant historical background information. -transition to thesis(connect back to novel) -thesis statemen

Sure.
Topic sentence: African Americans have been segregated for generation. Since slavery, they have been put to work and when they finally got their freedom they've felt discriminated against for there personality and color. dealing with threats and segregation the African American society never seemed to change. Separating blacks from the white community was a law and breaking it will have consequences.
