Uncle B

Your book Uncle Tom's Cabin informed me about how people were treated back during the Antebellum Era. Before I read your novel, I really didn't know what slavery was. I wasn't really informed about the topic, although I watched little plays about slavery since they were some what informal, But I didn't fully understand the lifestyle of slavery. The idea of slavery never came into my mind unless it was brought to me by teachers and classmates. It wasn't something that I regularly talked about in general

Charles W. Chestnutt's The Marrow of Tradition         Clearly, one can expect differing critical views of a novel; from the       author's perspective we see one view, from a publisher's another, and from       the reviewer's yet another. This is especially true of Charles W.       Chesnutt's  The Marrow of Tradition. If one observes both the contemporary       reviews of the novel and letters exchanged between Chesnutt and his       friends and publisher, Houghton

The Negro of today is a failure, not because he meets insuperable difficulties in life, but because he is a Negro. His brain is not fitted for the higher forms of mental effort; his ideals, no matter how laboriously he is train and sheltered, remain hose of a clown. He is, in brief, a low-caste man, to the manner [sic] born, and he will remain inert and inefficient until fifty generations of him have lived in civilization. And even then, the superior white race will be fifty generations a head of

Harriett Beecher Stowe’s 1852 novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin revolves around the lives of several Negro slaves and the struggles they face. The novel, told in a third person point of view is an incredibly well composed novel with a well-rounded; sympathetical feel. Stowe amazingly starts the novel with an abrupt scene where two slave owners are in the process of making a transaction; later in the novel you realize that that very moment was the beginning of what would bring Eliza much misery. In that very

Uncle Tom’s cabin is a book that takes you through the lives of slaves as seen through Harriet Beecher Stowe’s eyes. This book was written to raise awareness of the wrongs of slavery and how it should be ended because of how un-humane it truly is. It was a very controversial book during the time it was published, and was eventually banned for a period of time by the slave and plantation owners because of Stowe’s belief that everyone should be equal. The two main topics of this book deal with slavery

itself to the figure of Uncle Tom. Even though Tom operates in a system of slavery that is completely devoid of law, he still uses his moral compass of Christianity to make moral choices. For example, Uncle Tom could have very easily run off with the 500 dollars belonging to his master, but follows his orders out of his love for the Lord. Out of obedience to his Christian master, God, he abides in his worldly master. Obviously, this is a plantacratic argument, and perhaps Uncle Tom should have run off

Uncle Tom’s Cabin is a rather vocal story with some strong depictions in the lives of the slaves in the South. As a fictitious ensemble, this story simply sought to bring to light the slavery situation in the South. The author did not base her book on the reality of any particular slave but from the collective narratives of slavery, one would conclude that her assertions are rather factual. At the time, the author’s aim may have clouded the minds of the readers and critics since she clearly was an
