Harriet Tubman: Conductor on the Underground Railroad is an interesting and well-written book that tells the story of an extraordinarily courageous and committed woman. Tubman continues to inspire those seeking dignity for all people in America. Petry's dramatization of Tubman's perseverance and sense of purpose in leading slaves to freedom shows how a motivated individual can bring about change.
Petry intends for Harriet Tubman to fill a void in an important part of United States history and asserts that "the majority of textbooks used in high schools do not give an adequate or accurate picture of the history of slavery in the United States." A completely adequate and accurate account of slavery would no doubt require many volumes, yet this biographical novel represents significant movement toward that ideal. It juxtaposes well-known historical information with details about Tubman's "underground" activities. This technique adds depth and relevance to the story of Tubman's achievements.

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.
