In Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Harriet Beecher Stowe uses the character of Augustine St. Clare to play a very important role in expressing her views of abolition to the reader throughout the novel. St. Clare is, in himself, a huge contradiction of a character, as his way of life is supported by the same system that he despises, slavery. St. Clare professes multiple times in the book that slavery is wrong, yet he holds slaves and refuses to release them, making him a hypocrite whose morals are right, mainly because of his mother, but he is unwilling to do the right thing. St. Clare symbolizes some of the southern slave owners at the time who knew that slavery was a sin and an act against God, but refused to stand up and stop it. St. Clare is such an essential character in Uncle Tom’s Cabin, and he is an important part of the overall message of the novel and Stowe’s interjection of her abolitionist views that are throughout the novel.

But, this was quickly interrupted with a frantic phone call from the other adult leader. It was so silent in the truck that a I could have heard a pin drop. The other adult leader was quite old and had a heavy foot. This means that he liked to drive fast, very fast. We all went quiet as the phone was put on speaker. The others had gotten into a car crash. He was going about 80-85 mph. Then, a van cut in front of him and he lost control of his vehicle. Trying to gain it back, he swerved for about 500 feet. Soon the truck veered off the road and slammed into the guardrail as hard as a brick. Upon impact, his front left wheel flew off the truck along with other objects in the back.

The faint noise of bugs and animals chattering sounded like the grunt of a predator before it hunts its prey. A colossal cloud
