- Skeeter finally gets the opportunity to start interviewing Aibileen . . .it doesn't go well (Abilieen is so nervous she throws up), how will they get past this?
- Solution: Aibileen writes down her memoirs and reads them to Skeeter and then Skeeter takes notes on what she hears, it seems to work much better.
- Skeeter is sneaking around a lot now to get to these interviews, and I'm really worried she is going to get caught and hurt. Minny has agreed to be interviewed now, but two maids is a far cry from the twelve maids that Skeeter needs to interview.
- So remember that guy that Miss Hilly set Skeeter up with who was a total sot on their first date and really rude to her? Well, he came and apologized and Skeeter is now kind of dating him. He seems okay, he was just really not ready to start dating before (just like he told Hilly). Skeeter seems to like him quite a bit.
- Uh oh, Skeeter accidentally left her bag (the one that contained all of her interview notes and a Jim Crow law pamphlet she found at the library) at one of the Junior League meetings and Hilly has it!
- Hilly has gone through Skeeter's bag but luckily didn't see the interview notes. Hilly is on to her though, she won't give the Jim Crow law pamphlet back, and she seems really mad at Skeeter.
- An important black man, Medgar Evers is shot by the KKK in his front yard in front of his family. How awful. The black people in town are very scared and the white people don't really do anything to help.
- Skeeter talks to Hilly and it seems that everything is smoothed over now between them . . .we'll see if that lasts.
Okay, there's another five chapters. Things are really heating up in Mississippi. I'm getting very worried that Skeeter is going to be in big trouble, and it's only a matter of "when", not "if" someone finds out I think. We'll have to wait and see.
