Another representation of power abuse is shown through the young master Tom slashing his whip at the feet of the horses startling them until George tells him not to and in response he whips George for telling him to stop (Beecher, 1852).The cruelty of human behavior when they have power is sickening.

They will decide everything for their kids. They want to control them and if their kids don’t listen, they will yell and get frustrated and talk about their hardships. Then they will then take what privileges they have away. The controlling aspect of Asian household is shown in the book Uncle Tom’s Cabin where George is controlled by his Mr. Haley (Beecher,
