Uncle Tom's Cabin

Uncle Tom's Cabin

By Harriet Beecher Stowe

Ok, so I have just watched the rest of Uncle Tom's Cabin and it was heartbreakingly sad for me.Simon Legree is very different from Tom's previous slave owners.He is mean, cruel, and a drunk that doesn't care what happens to his slaves."Once they wear off in 6-7 years, I will dump them and get new ones."He keeps the young girl slave Emmeline inside with him to do you know what.The rest of the slaves are left to work outside in the field and work grueling long days.They get to sleep in a barn with hay.Tom is very helpful and nice to the other slaves.When one woman is ill, he carries her cotton, but later gets into trouble for it.(He gets whipped).I loved how he was assertive and stood up for the other slaves especially the lady who was obviously sick.Cassy and Emmeline later hide in the attic where they know they are safe because it is said that Simon Legree killed a slave up there years before.They narrowly escape while Simon is drunk and knock things over and make strange noises to make Legree seem like he was going insane.In the morning, the overseer reports to Legree that they are gone and they get the horses and dogs to go hunt them down like bounty hunters.Their plan (Cassy and Emmeline) is to run in a circle around the plantation and into the woods to confuse the owners and the dogs.They hide back in the attic and later escape.Simon Legree knows that Tom knows where Cassy and Emmeline went, but will never tell.EVER.Then Simon tells Tom that he will one day break every bone in his body, which, basically means that he is going to kill Tom.The next part is when Tom is hung shirtless and tied by the hads on a wooden post and basically whipped to death.This part was really grueling for me to read and watch because in the movie you can hear and see the whip and his skin after the whipping.Then Tom is seen in the barn all bloody, when his old slave owner's son who is now a young man comes to see him.Legree is too drunk to care when or if Christopher goes.Christopher is appalled at Tom's state and keeps repeating,"Oh, Tom.What have they done to you!"Tom says his last words extremely weakly and dies with Christopher pleading him not to die.The ending is when Christopher takes Tom's body in the wagon he came in and then punches Legree multiple times until he falls face first in the mud, wailing and crying.The last part of the movie was SOO sad for me.I was enjoying it until that part rolled around.But, despite all that bad stuff, it was a great book and movie.But some disturbing moments (for me) I recommned for ages 10-11 and up.Enjoy!

The Raymie Nightingale Three-Book Collection

The Raymie Nightingale Three-Book Collection

By Kate DiCamillo

This is a very interesting series. I do really like them, and I love Kate DiCamillo, but I think that these, or at least the first one, are for a younger age. Maybe not, but there is definitely something different about these books. I love them though, and I would recommend them for kids ages 9- 14
