Summary: Putting light on the darkness
Comment: "Uncle Tom's Cabin" is not an uplifting book to read; however, it is very interesting. The book is an historically accurate look of what conditions could have been like for the slaves during the 1850's. The characters are not embellished and the plot is somewhat believeable. The slaves are portyared as people, unlike what they could have been described as during this time period. The story also describes how the South and the North had some different ways of treating people whether they were slaves or not.
The points I found not enjoyable took me out of my comfort zone and showed me a darker side of how slavery could have been. Stories of families being broken up and seeing a person beat another for little reason did not give me pleasure in reading. The book gives both sides in just about everything: good slave owner vs. bad slave owner, North vs. South, black girl vs. white girl, black family vs. white family. The whole story has a deeper, darker meaning of American history.
"Uncle Tom's Cabin" is a very good book because of its examination of America's dark secret of pain and suffering. When it was first published, this book was a wake up call for the country. By reading it at the millennium, we are helping keep the memory alive, so that slavery does not happen again in the U.S. I highly recomend this book to anyone who hasn't read it, and if you have the chance, study it.
