The massive scope of World War 2 drew millions of American men into the armed services very quickly. As a result, women had to leave the home and go to work - partly to replace the income lost when their husbands, fathers, brothers, etc. went to war, are partly to help support the war effort at home. Suddenly, women who had never considered working outside the home were working together in factories, and businesses, learning trades and skills that had been primarily reserved for men up until that point. By the time the war ended, an entire generation of women had come to realize that they could be more independent than they had ever imagined. They liked earning their own money and enjoyed the mental and physical stimulation of leaving home and going to work every day. Because of their important contributions, women were also now valuable members of the work force and employers didn't want to lose these good employees. And since employers commonly paid women less than men to do the same job, retaining women in professional positions after the war made good business sense for business owners. African Americans were impacted in several different ways by World War 2. Arguably the greatest external factor on blacks was their intermingling (if not integration) with whites and others during the war. In many, many cases whites from rural parts of the country had never interacted with blacks in any meaningful way, and they certainly had not been in the life and death struggles presented on a daily basis of being in a war. A result of this racial mixing was the deterioration of long-held prejudices and greater acceptance of blacks by whites in normal society. This is not to say, racial barriers ceased to exist. In fact the civil rights movement, which led to many of those barriers being broken down didn't begin to capture the popular imagination for 20 more years and even today, almost 70 years since the end of world war 2, African Americans do not have equal status to whites in many aspects of our society and they still have fight for their rights on a daily basis.
the correct answers are "They think they'll come marching back, somehow, just as gay as they went", "some of those foreigners, that weren't there because they had any say about it, but because they had to be there, poor wretches", and "You thought it would be all right for my George, your George, to kill the sons of those miserable mothers and the husbands of those girls that you would never see the faces of."
(I was the one who asked this question, i just made a second account to answer it because i answered the question just now and then got it right)
The help is a novel about african americans working in whitehouseholds written by Kathryn Stockett. There many important characters in this story but now we will focus on Skeeter and Hilly, two white girls from very similar backgrounds but with different personalities. They both were very good friends at school but their personalities and goals crashed from each other. While Hilly was on her initiative of having "color bathrooms" or as Hilly called them herself “It’s called the Home Help Sanitation Initiative- ” , Skeeter was doing some reseacrh to write her book exposing the hard times black women had while working in the whitehousehold.
The stronger Skeeter became, the most difficult it was for Hilly to cover her actions, as she shouted when the book was released “The book is not about Jackson!”. This situation clearly became a problem for their relationship. This turn of events is really interesting taking into consideration the when Skeeter asks Aibeleen “I just … have to ask you. What changed your mind?” Aibileen doesn’t even pause. “Miss Hilly,” she says.
The correct awnser is story hope this helps!
