One of the questions that Florio asked was ‘Did you realize the book might be controversial?’; Stockett responded like this, “The fact that I'm a white, privileged young woman writing in the voice of a black woman broke every rule my grandmother taught me. But I believe it's our job as human beings to imagine what it feels like to be in someone else's shoes, whether it's the President or a woman cleaning up the kitchen. That's how we learn to be better people” (Florio). This quote is better explained through the characters in the novel. Controversy is shown
Theme is an idea the story reveals that relates to life; it can be used as the lesson learned. In “Rikki-Tikki-Tavi,” a story by Rudyard Kipling, the theme is obviously good triumphs over evil.

At the same time, some people may believe the theme is never give up, but I’m going to prove how unlikely that is.

My five themes are strategic, includer, context, connectedness, and positivity. My strategic strength will help contribute to this project because it allows me to figure out what methods have worked in the past and use it for our project. Through listening to the speakers in class, I have learned that in the past it works best to provide events that the neighborhood will be able to use and to appreciate. This way more people will come and it will make them happy. Being an includer allows me to look at the people we are trying to help and to figure out ways that will make them feel accepted at our event, such as talking with them and participating in the activities with them. Having strength in context has helped me to understand how I work best in a group. I have found through experience that if I listen closely to what every group memeber says and then take time on my own to gather my thoughts I provide more meaningful ideas to the group. Connectedness allows me to understand that all people in our community need to be helped in order to keep the community going. We can not ignore some people in the community and expect it to thrive, it is a group effort to make the community a better
