Freedom In Uncle Tom's Cabin

Jumping from ice block to ice block was a courageous act Eliza accomplished for her freedom. The book started out in the Shelby's plantation with a slave Uncle Tom, the main character of Uncle Tom's Cabin. In the Shelby's plantation, Mrs. Shelby has a slave named Eliza that she treated like her own daughter because Mrs. Shelby doesn’t have a daughter nor does she support slavery. Mrs. Shelby allowed Eliza to get married to George Harris. Eliza ran away from the Shelby plantation when she found out Mr. and Mrs. Shelby had sold her and Uncle Tom to Mr. Haley because they were in debt. Uncle Tom did not runaway when he heard he had been sold, willing to sacrifice himself for the other slaves on the plantation so the other slaves on the Shelby …show more content…
Uncle Tom had a close relationship with God. He alway prayed to God especially when he asked for God's help when Simon Legree was abusing him. Eliza always prayed to God and trusted in him to help her, and her family to be free people one day. Uncle Tom spreads God’s word to Prue how he died for our sins because she never heard about our savior Jesus Christ. Eva preached to her mother about God, and how God wanted everyone treated equal no matter what skin color you had. Eva's spreads God’s word to her mother Marie St. Clare because her mother had no respect for her slaves. The outcome of reading about people trusting in God and spreading God’s word in Uncle Tom's Cabin is that you will know that God is always with you and he will never abandon you. Also to spread God’s word to others people that is our mission in life.

Uncle Tom's Cabin also teaches about the social hierarchy in our history. Mr. Haley wanted to be higher up in class, but his lack of education stopped him. Education was the main obstacle that blocked slaves or any white person from being in the higher class. Slaveowners were not allowed to educate their slave …show more content…
From reading this book I felt more confident knowing that is God is always there for just like God was with Uncle Tom during the hard times in his life when he was on Simon Legree's plantation. Some people may think Uncle Tom's Cabin is a brutal book and should not be read in school In my opinion, if it is in our history and there were brutal times like slavery we must learn about it because we must learn from our mistakes so we will not repeat it. The challenges Uncle Tom’s Cabin, a classic novel, created for me was some of the words Harriet Beecher Stowe put into Uncle Tom’s Cabin are not common in the word today so the some of the vocabulary was hard to learn. Another challenge about reading Uncle Tom’s Cabin was definite the length of the book when we first got Uncle Tom’s Cabin. I thought we were never going to finish the book, and I also felt it was about as thick as a bible. A teacher was needed when reading a classic literature like Uncle Tom’s Cabin to help you understand the book, and you also need to know before you read about slavery the history. Classic literature adds a better understanding about our history and slavery because in Uncle Tom’s Cabin it shows the experiences of actual slaves and how they were
