For example, when Skeeter is on her first date with Stuart she gets offended when he mentions that all girls only go to college to get a husband when she responds “I’m sorry, but were you dropped on your head as an infant or were you just born stupid.” (Taylor). Skeeter responds with anger immediately and without hesitation defending her ideals and calling Stuart stupid. She believes that no matter what race or sex someone is it should not be the chains that bind you. In addition, when Hilly was talking about segregating whites and blacks bathrooms because blacks are disease ridden, Skeeter responds with anger commenting “Maybe we should build you a bathroom outside.” (Taylor). Skeeter was mad that her friend would discriminate against blacks like they are not human beings just like her. Skeeter believes that everybody should be treated equally. This shows how Skeeter disapproves of social standards in the 1960’s restrict women and colored people.

In To Kill a Mockingbird and The Help both Protagonists encounter many forms of discrimination. They both react in similar ways, they both get angry when they see discrimination and question society. They do have their differences though, Skeeter shows her anger and frustration when faced with discrimination, however Scout keeps it
