Uncle Tom's Cabin
Book Report on Uncle Tom's Cabin The book Uncle Tom's Cabin, published in 1852 by multiple publishers and put into more then twenty languages was written by abolitionist Harriet Beecher Stowe. Stowe was born in 1811 in Litchfield, Connecticut into a family of clergymen and therefore was highly religious. Her mother died early in her life so her oldest sister Catharine reared her. The family moved to Ohio when Harriet was twenty-one because her father received a presidency at a theological university. Harriet's sister Catherine started two schools; one was a primary school in Litchfield, the other a women's university in Ohio. Harriet attended the primary school and taught at the university in missionary studies. Her father would frequently speak out against slavery in public and she may have caught some of his abolitionist ideas, forming her own system of beliefs on slavery.

Augustine is traumatized after Eva's death and Uncle Tom comforts him to help ease the pain. Claire or Little Eva is bright, happy, young girl sparkling with innocence and Christian being. After the success of her book she became a celebrity and was invited to parties, given audiences with monarchs in other countries, and even a private meeting with President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War. When George finds Tom, Tom is very near to death. He is the epitome of a southern gentleman and is kind to his slaves. Their places could have easily been taken by Simeon Halliday, the first Quaker to try and help Eliza. Legree live on a large squalid plantation and drinks too excess. Emily Shelby is the wife of Arthur and is not very strong willed. She revealed to us how absurd slavery is "beneath the shadow of American laws and the shadow of the cross of Christ. Harry and Eliza meet up with George but have a brief scuffle with the slave hunters in which the Quakers help. He beats his slaves until they drop and works tem even when they are sick. She once led a sheltered life and was married to a white man. This is much like what happened to Cassy when Eliza was taken away from her. Also the slave markets were dirty, loud and busy places, where potential buyers would embarrassingly examine slaves in anyway they please.
