Uncle Tom’s Cabin (Told to the Children)ByHarriet Beecher StoweH. E. Marshall ed.Chapter 1Uncle Tom and Little Harry are SoldVery many years ago, instead of having servants to wait upon them and work for them, people used to have slaves. These slaves were paid no wages. Their masters gave them only food and clothes in return for their work.When any one wanted servants he went to market to buy them, just as nowadays we buy horses and cows, or even tables and chairs.If the poor slaves were bought by kind people they would be quite happy. Then they would work willingly for their masters and mistresses, and even love them. But very often cruel people bought slaves. These cruel people used to beat them and be unkind to them in many other ways.It was very wicked to buy and sell human beings as if they were cattle. Yet Christian people did it, and many who were good and kind otherwise thought there was no wrong in being cruel to their poor slaves. 'They are only black people,' they said to themselves. 'Black people do not feel things as we do.' That was not kind, as black people suffer pain just in the same way as white people do.One of the saddest things for the poor slaves was that they could never long be a happy family all together—father, mother, and little brothers and sisters—because at any time the master might sell the father or the mother or one of the children to some one else. When this happened those who were left behind were very sad indeed—more sad than if their dear one had died.Uncle Tom was a slave. He was a very faithful and honest servant, and his master, Mr. Shelby, was kind to him. Uncle Tom's wife was called Aunt Chloe. She was Mr. Shelby's head cook, and a very good one too she was. Nobody in all the country round could make such delicious pies and cakes as Aunt Chloe.Uncle Tom and Aunt Chloe lived together in a pretty little cottage built of wood, quite close to Mr. Shelby's big house.The little cottage was covered with climbing roses, and the garden was full of beautiful bright flowers and lovely fruit trees.Uncle Tom and Aunt Chloe lived happily for many years in their little cottage, or cabin, as it was called. All day Uncle Tom used to work in the fields, while Aunt Chloe was busy in the kitchen at Mr. Shelby's house. When evening came they both went home to their cottage and their children, and were merry together.Mr. Shelby was a good man, and kind to his slaves, but he was not very careful of his money. When he had spent all he had, he did not know what to do to get more. At last he borrowed money from a man called Haley, hoping to be able to pay it back again some day.But that day never came. Haley grew impatient, and said, 'If you don't pay what you owe me, I will take your house and lands, and sell them to pay myself back all the money I have lent to you.'So Mr. Shelby sold everything he could spare and gathered money together in every way he could think of, but still there was not enough.Then Haley said, 'Give me that slave of yours called Tom—he is worth a lot of money.'But Mr. Shelby knew that Haley was not a nice man. He knew he did not want Tom for a servant, but only wanted to sell him again, to make more money. So Mr. Shelby said, 'No, I can't do that. I never mean to sell any of my slaves, least of all Tom. He has been with me since he was a little boy.''Oh very well,' said Haley, 'I shall sell your house and lands, as I said I should.'Mr. Shelby could not bear to think of that, so he agreed to let Haley have Tom. He made him promise, however, not to sell Tom again except to a kind master.'Very well,' said Haley, 'but Tom isn't enough. I must have another slave.'Just at this moment a little boy came dancing into the room where Mr. Shelby and Haley were talking. He was a pretty, merry little fellow, the son of a slave called Eliza, who was Mrs. Shelby's maid.'There now,' said Haley, 'give me that little chap, as well as Tom, and we will say no more about the money you owe me.''I can't,' said Mr. Shelby. 'My wife is very fond of Eliza, and would never hear of having Harry sold.''Oh, very well,' said Haley once more, 'I must just sell your house.'So again Mr. Shelby gave in, and Haley went away with the promise that next morning Uncle Tom and little Harry should be given to him, to be his slaves.Below is given annual work summary, do not need friends can download after editor deleted Welcome to visit againXXXX annual work summaryDear every leader, colleagues:Look back end of XXXX, XXXX years of work, have the joy of success in your work, have a collaboration with colleagues, working hard, also have disappointed when encountered difficulties and setbacks.

Uncle Tom’s CabinThe novel of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”, written by American author Harriet Beecher Stowe, tells us a story about Uncle Tom’s tragic life. Uncle Tom, the main character, is seen as a noble, long-suffering Christian slave.At first, he belongs to Arthur Shelby, but then Mr. Shelby has to sell him with another slave because of the debts. Among his life, he is sold for several times, and at last time, he is sold to Simon Legree, a cruel slave owner—a Northerner by birth—whose name has become synonymous with greed. Legree feels extremely angry when Tom refuses Legree's order to whip his fellow slaves and wants to crush Tom’s faith in gold. However, Tom refuses to stop reading his Bible and comforting the other slaves as best he can. Very shortly before Tom's death, George Shelby (Arthur Shelby's son) arrives to buy Tom’s freedom, but finds he is too late. Uncle Tom has died. After that, George returns to the Kentucky farm and frees all his slaves and tells them to remember Tom's sacrifice and his belief in the true meaning of Christianity.Through the whole novel, the author just wants to tell us one thing: the evil and immorality of slavery. All the people should be equally, no matter you are the white or the black. No one is born to be a slave. However, the fact is opposite. In America, the black aretreated as goods that the white can sell or buy them if they will. They even can beat the slaves and do not need to pay back anything. So we see no matter how Legree beats and hits Tom, Tom never rebels against him. All the things he can do are to keep quiet and accept everything alone. And it is also because of his faith in god. However, differing from Uncle Tom, Eliza escapes to the North with her five-year old son Harry after he is sold to Mr. Haley.Her husband, George, eventually finds Eliza and Harry in Ohio, and then they move to other country where no slavery exists. She and her husband are eager for freedom and they know they must fight against the slavery for freedom.In addition, the author also shows what is the real meaning of Christianity and that she feels Christian theology cannot exit with slavery. The slavery is against the basic theology of Christianity. So there are someone says that the influence of “Uncle Tom’s Cabin”is one of the reasons that leads to the American Civil War. But I appreciate to call it the beginning of Abolition Movement rather than that. Because after the novel is published the American slaves begin to realize it is their basic right to have freedom. Uncle Tom is a great man, a noble hero and praiseworthy person. Maybe someone will say he is foolish when he chooses to stay in the farm. But the reason he will do it merely is that he is the Christian UncleTom. Comparing to the cruel Legree, Uncle Tom’s goodness and honesty seem more obvious.。
