Author Review

Uncle Tom's Cabin

Although the prose can be lengthy and the dialogue can be perplexing, Uncle Tom's Cabin is a classic. And, by classic, I don't mean a book that's only purpose is to inconvenience and mystify high school students.
The novel is the story of slaves and their desire to be free. Some slaves take it upon themselves to secure their freedom, while others rely upon God. Although heart-wrenching, the story is also hopeful.
Uncle Tom's Cabin brings many questions to light, the foremost being the right to own slaves. It also touched upon nature versus nurture and how much faith can shape ones life. Abe Lincoln referred to Stowe as the little woman who started the Civil War and, after reading this tale, perhaps you will agree with his assessment of this propagandist novel. 04.06.08
