Gollywhopper Games

The gollywhopper Games is a lot like the Willy Wonka book, it is a competition with golden tickets, test, and crazy wack inventions. But in stead of a candy factory, its a toy factory. BUt in a lot of other ways it's different also. But I won't spoil anything. I especially like all of the puzzles, which I love to figure out. They are easier puzzles than the Winston Breen series, but I still love them.

The Help

         On the suggested reading list for school, it listed the Help. My friend let me borrow it and I thought'hey, my mom likes it, I'll give it a go". It is really good! It's good if you read it for laughs, a storyline, the characters, or a more insightful detail on what it must have been like for blacks in the 1950s. My favorite character is Minny, or her daughter Kindra. So much sass in one little girl!

SPOILERS BELOW!!!

Now I don't get miss Hilly. Loving to her kids, devoted to her husband's career, seems pretty faithful to friends, yet she's racist. Now, the book says she is a "deeply flawed person". But I don't believe that. I think her way of thinking is a mistake, one that could be changed, or prevented. A deeply flawed person would be mean and spiteful to everybody. Or is it worse, to be kind and caring to most, and a horrid person to others.. Either way I don't believe she is flawed. I just believe she has character mistakes.
