St. Clare

Her father, who intends to free Tom, also dies before he can free Tom. Eva’s crazy mother takes over the plantation, and sells Tom. Tom ends up in the hands of the villainous Simon Legree. He treats his slaves like maggots below the dirt. Tom, with his standing Christian morals, does nothing to retaliate. Legree is Tom’s final master because Legree will end Tom’s life. Tom dies a poignant death with his old master’s son, George Shelby, at his side.

I believe that before we are able to compare and contrast the three men who have claimed ownership over Tom, we must examine each one individually, and then compare and contrast their ideologies to those that were typical of southern men at the time. Tom, at first is under the Control of Arthur Shelby, a farmer in Kentucky. Tom is eventually sold to Haley, a slave trader who in turn sells Tom to Augustine St. Clare in New Orleans. Finally, after the death of St. Clare, Tom is once again, and finally sold to Simon Legree, a Louisiana plantation owner.

In one area of the chapter, Shelby mentions that, “Tom is an uncommon fellow; he is certainly worth that sum anywhere,—steady, honest, capable, manages my whole farm like a clock.” (Uncle Toms Cabin). Mr. Shelby also continues on to praise the fact that Tom is a devoted Christian, and that is why he can be trusted. What image that is typically portrayed in slavery is nothing but negative, and sometimes truly disturbing at times type of aspects. It is extremely odd that Mr. Shelby displays a sense of trust, and devotion to a slave. Many imagine that slave owners were terrible, violent, and cruel people. Yet oddly enough, Mr. Shelby doesn’t come off that way whatsoever.

Which brings us to Mr. Shelby, owner of the Shelby Farms, he believes slavery to be a necessary evil. His wife, Mrs. Shelby feels that it goes against Christianity, made evident when she states “This is

Tom is on the verge of gaining everything he wants such as the inheritance from Judge Driscoll. Just as being able to gain everything he wants Tom is still also vulnerable to losing everything him has. He is a literate man who lives free his whole life and owns slaves instead of being a slave. Tom’s mother is willing to sell herself to slavery in order to help her son but by sacrificing her freedom through love she finds out that she is betrayed by her son. Her only requests were to be sold up the river and to be bought back in order to allow Tom to pay his debts back.

Mrs. Shelby exemplifies the difference between her moral code, and her society’s morals, as she goes against the regulations set by society that America should be a segregated one, as she reaches out to help out Uncle Tom, upon the bad news that has come upon the Shelby planation.

She confided her fears to George Harris, her husband, a slave on an adjoining plantation. After supper in the cabin of Uncle Tom and his wife, Aunt Chloe, the Shelby slaves gathered for a meeting. They sang songs, and young George Shelby, who had eaten his supper there, read from the Bible. In the big house, Mr. Shelby signed the papers making Uncle Tom and little Harry the property of Haley. Eliza, learning her child’s fate from some remarks of Mr. Shelby to his wife, fled with her child, hoping to reach Canada and safety. Uncle Tom hearing of the sale resigned himself to the wisdom of Providence. The next day, after Haley had discovered his loss, he set to capture Eliza; however, she had a good start. Moreover, Mrs. Shelby delayed the hunt by serving a later breakfast. When her pursuers came in sight, Eliza escaped across the Ohio River by jumping from one floating ice cake to another, young Harry in her arms. Haley hired two slave-catchers, Mark and Loker, to track Eliza across Ohio. For their trouble, she was to be given to them. They set off that night.

Tom Robinson’s role in this book shows a lot of prejudice. He is a black man convicted of raping a white women. This book is set in the 1930s, during this time period the Jim Crow Laws were still in place and racism was big. ‘You felt sorry for her, you felt sorry for her?’ Mr. Gilmer seemed ready to rise to the ceiling” (Lee, pg 197). Tom Robinson is talking about how he felt sorry for Miss Mayella, who is white. Mr Gilmer gets very upset stating that a nigger should not feel sorry for a white woman. "There's something in our world that makes men lose their heads -- they couldn't be fair if they tried. In our courts, when it's a white man's word against a black man's, the white man always wins. They're ugly, but those are the fact of life.” (Lee, pg.220) Atticus is talking to the kids about how Tom Robinson will get the death sentence because of the color of his skin and how the jury looks at him. He talks about there is no court in Alabama that would’ve gave him something less. Basically it was Tom against a town full of white folks. Tom is a big symbol of prejudice in the book.

Someone once said nothing interesting is one-side. Interesting people or thing have two side. The side that is interesting is shown to the society while the other side remains hidden. Based on what society see it makes the consumption that the people or thing is interesting but if they were to see the hidden it would not appear to be interesting any more. As in the novel “Book Thief” by Markus Zusak, Liesel, Hans Hubermann and Rosa Hubermann are the three of the main character.

There are two plot lines in this book. Each of the plot lines represent diverse destiny of different slaves. One is about uncle Tom which represents those unfortunate slaves and they are the majority, they are as property for business, their destinies are vagrant. They may have a good owner at first, but the probability is narrow, and for some reason, they switch to tyrannical slave owners who maltreat slaves and even cause

First Tom, a black man from the book, would be alive if people weren’t cruel. He would never have been blamed for rape and wouldn’t have got brutally murdered by 17 shots in the back. Tom was blamed by Mayella Ewell when she said, “Fore I knew it he was on me. Just run up behind me he did… he chunked me on the floor an’ choked me’n took advantage of me”(Lee, 180). She wanted to cover up the abuse that her father had done so she blamed the poor, kind-hearted, nigger down yonder. If she would have thought about Tom as a person and have been kinder Tom wouldn’t have gone to court and eventually got killed. Also if Mr. Ewell did the right thing and taken the blame for his actions he would have spared a man’s life. Instead he did what Mayella did and said, “I seen that black nigger yonder ruttin’ on my

The author continuously characterizes Tom Walker in a way that makes the readers pity and resent him to not want to follow the example of his life. For example, after Tom's wife takes all their valuables and tries to strike a bargain with the devil when Tom wouldn’t do it himself, he goes looking for her in the woods. Irving shows just how little Tom cared about his wife when he describes his reaction to her disappearance and death. He is more concerned about the safety of his silverware, which she had taken with her. "He leaped with joy; for he recognized his wife's apron, and supposed it to contain the household valuables.” That shows that he is really greedy and ruthless. However, Tom shows no remorse for his dead wife and has evidence that shows that his wife had beaten up even the

The first character we will discuss is Emily Shelby who is the wife of Arthur Shelby who is a Kentucky Plantation owner and the owner of Uncle Tom. Mrs. Shelby is a kind, loving, and Christian woman who is strongly opposed to slavery and takes it upon herself to treat them with most respect. Mrs. Shelby from a spiritual standpoint cares about her slaves relationship with God and teaches his word to them. Mr. Shelby and Mrs. Shelby treat the slaves with kindness but differ significantly in regards to slavery. Unlike other women of this time period, Mrs. Shelby stands by her views and morals regardless if her

Along with evil masters, I was glad to know that there were also kind masters who saw the good in all; even the colored. These type of people were portrayed by the Shelbys', Augustine St. Clare, Eva, and Miss Ophelia. I was happy that even during the worst times, people like them had the courage to go against the world and spread happiness in the world. However, I found it wrong that calamities struck to only those who did good. For example, due to debt the Shelbys' had to sell their slaves, Augustine St. Clare and Eva both died before they could free their slaves, and there was nothing Miss Ophelia could do to save Uncle Tom from being sold again.
