They have stood side by side through natural disasters, family tragedies, the gift of life, birthdays, and anything else that comes to mind.

This book 's author, Harriet Beecher Stowe, was born in 1811 in Litchfield, Connecticut. She was the daughter of a Calvinist minister. She and her family were all devout Christians; her father was a preacher and her siblings followed. Her Christian attitude reflected her attitude towards slavery. She was for abolishing it, because to her, it was a very non-Christian and cruel institution. Her book focused on the ghastly points of slavery, including the whippings, beatings, and sexual harassment brought upon slaves by their masters. She wrote the book to be a force against slavery, and was joining in with the feelings of many other women of her time, who all became more outspoken and influential in reform movements, including things such as women 's suffrage. The main point of Uncle Tom 's Cabin was to bring light to slavery to people in the north. In this, she hoped to eventually sway people against slavery.

I have recently read the magnificent book “Uncle Tom 's Cabin” which was written by Harriet Beecher Stowe. This truly beautiful piece of literature was inspiring while filled with the gut-wrenching truth about the sin we call slavery. As I read I was filled with more and more hatred towards the cruel slave owners of our country and couldn’t put it down. I am sickened every time one of my patients speaks of slavery as if it is a wonderful holy thing benefitting our stupid stupid country. We as a nation need to have a peaceful anti slavery group in our government. I believe that violence is not the answer to our many problems, with violence comes misfortune and death. Though good things can emerge from the mess violence causes peace is the way we should try to achieve things. I know that despite all good efforts peace will be destroyed and violence will lead the way into the next century, however good or bad it may be.

An outcast is someone who is rejected by society or a social group, somebody who isn 't what most would call "normal." In the book The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, a few people considered outcasts were Huck, Pap, and Jim. Society did not agree with how these three characters acted and presented themselves, which was fine by them because they didn 't exactly agree with society anyways.

In this novel, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Harriet Beecher Stowe set out on a mission to do two things: first, to inform the Northern readers of the atrocity and immorality slavery had brought to the south, and two, to show how the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 shielded slaves from escaping their owners, all the way now to Canada just to be considered “free.” During this crucial time in American history, Stowe chose to educate her readers about slavery and laws passed by spending a sizeable amount of time on the role of women in all aspects of slavery. Exposing their complex, yet rich sway with others, they manifested a divergent approach with others who came within reach of them. The women within the book, free or enslaved, were put

Identity is something that sets us apart from each other. Personal identity is something that many, if not everyone searches for in life. Identity answers the questions, who are you and what do you stand for. When discovering a personal identity, one is able to find out why they are the way they are. The developing and changing personal identity of Huckleberry Finn in this iconic story is something that is very well worth focusing on. Though the most obvious theme in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is race and the issues it causes in society, the discovery and search for one’s true identity is also a very prevalent and central theme in this often controversial piece of literature.

In the 21st century, Hollywood transformed best-selling novels into movies; in the 19th century, best-selling novels became plays. Uncle Tom’s Cabin became the best-selling novel of the 19th century and elicited widely varying dramatizations. While copyright protection laws are extensive today, they protected only the actual printing of the novel in 1852. Being a phenomenal success, Uncle Tom’s Cabin was immediately adapted and dramatized without Harriet Beecher Stowe’s approval. In these dramatizations known as Tom shows, characters became comical caricatures through the use of blackface minstrel traditions and the true purpose of the anti-slavery novel was lost in this mockery. Unfortunately, these plays frame the modern understanding of Uncle Tom’s Cabin as people became less likely to spend time reading the novel when slavery was already abolished. Tom shows were loosely based on the Stowe’s novel and generally added extravagant effects such as bloodhounds, minstrel traditions, double characters, and alternative endings that avoided Stowe’s original anti-slavery message.
