汤姆叔叔的小屋英文读后感
汤姆叔叔的小屋英文读后感汤姆叔叔的小屋英文读后感After I finished readingUncle T om’s Cabin,It felt like I just finished watching a movie and I myself was a character in the movie, which clearly disclose the nature of capitalism. Meanwhile, this book reconfirmed a thought that the prosperity of some capitalist countries is based on the unknowns’ sacrifice.The story in the article is mainly about this, a sla一veholder had to sell his two sla一ves, one of whom named Tom, to pay deb一t. Faced to this kind of miserable life and being a sla一ve who is loyal to his owner, Tom never thought to run away, because he, a real believer in Christianity, had decided to pursue to be an honest man all his life. Tom’s new owner ma de him live a more unbearable life, what’s worse, Tom didn’t change his mind. Until the last second Tom’s last owner regretted his decision and wanted to bail Tom out, but, unfortunately, Tom died of that kind of misery.This article analyzes the characteristics of loyalty, kindness and generosity embodied in Uncle Tom who was full of kindness was the true hero in the history of American novels, it also points out that T om was very tolerant and weak to the cruelty of sla一very and that the black must fight back to gain freedom. Though died of sla一veholders’ persecution, Tom was a winner in the spirit, which in defiance of the physical injure , perhaps as such, Tom got the right to enjoy his dream life in the hea一ven.As a white, Mrs. Stow wrote this article, the greatest anti-sla 一very work of America in the 19thcentury, to express her idea to appeal the people in the south to stand up to fight against the sla一very sustained in the South of America, everybody inAmerica, including the white, should sympathize with those black sla一ves on their miserable fate.Nowadays, people still regard Tom as a symbol of never giving up pursuing to realize his value. Tom did not give up his belief regardless of the unbearable destiny, and he proved us that the black were self-governed individualities, not born to sla一ves working for the white. To some extent, it is safe to draw the conclusion that Tom would be the heretical model at all events.。

With his Christian love, he comforted numerous people who were suffering poverty and misery. His spirit of sacrifice made many off-springs weep, and shocked and feared a lot of upper rulers. Nowadays, people always remember the honest and loyal Uncle Tom who makes every effort to protect his master. Also, people remember that in order to keep his Christian faith such an obedient Uncle Tom dared to resist his master. In this monetary world today, Uncle Tom’s spirit of selflessness, purity and nobility edify human’s soul.KEY WORDS: Uncle Tom, honest, loyal, resistContents Introduction (9)Chapter One Uncle Tom’s Obedience (11)1.1Uncle Tom’s Honesty (11)1.2Uncle Tom’s Loyalty (12)1.2.1 His loyalty to Mr. Shelby (12)1.2.2 His loyalty to Augustine St. Clare (13)Chapter Two Uncle Tom’s Christian Love for Humanity (15)2.1 Uncle Tom’s Love for the Blacks and the Low (15)2.2 Uncle Tom’s Love for the Whites (16)2.2.1 His love for George Shelby (16)2.2.2 His love for Evangeline (17)2.3 Uncle Tom’s Love for His Enemies (19)Chapter Three Uncle Tom’s Disobedience of Gentle Impulse (19)Chapter Four Uncle Tom’s Tragic Ending (23)4.1 Comparison Between George Harris and Uncle Tom (23)4.1.1 George Harris’s struggle for freedom (23)4.1.2 Uncle Tom’s sacrifice for freedom (24)4.2 Introspection of Uncle Tom’s Death (26)Conclusion (28)Acknowledgements (29)Bibliography (30)IntroductionIn 1861, the war between South and North broke out on American land; in 1861, the war of slavery emancipation which erupted in America and permeated into the rest of the world made the whole world shaking. The whole humanity was angry, and the whole negroes were crying…Harriet Beecher Stowe, the little woman who wrote Uncle Tom’s Cabin, was actually the person who waged the war in literal field. Influenced by Calvinism, and seeing salves’poor life and slave owners’cruelty in America, Stowe determined to write a book to expose the American law, to show her sympathy on the miserable slaves and to remind the whites’and the whole world’s humanity. The book was called Uncle Tom’s Cabin.Uncle Tom’s Cabin was mainly written into two parts. For one part, it narrated George Harris and her wife Eliza’s struggle for freedom. Hardly could they bear the American slavery system which would part them and sell their boy, they decided to escape and fled into a free country. Through all difficulties and dangers, they finally reached their ideal land, Canada. For the other part, the book described the protagonist, Uncle Tom’s ups and downs in his whole life. Unlike George Harris, Uncle Tom accepted all prosperities and adversities befalling upon him, he accepted them sedately and meekly by the support of his Christian religion. However, though the Lord could comfort his soul, he could not protect his body. Under the evil law and evil slavery, Uncle Tom was whipped to death by the cruel slave owner. Not only did the author Harriet Beecher Stowe exalt George Harris’s bravery, but also she sympathized Uncle Tom’s tragedy, and admired his Christian spirit. For the latter one, Stowe had poured out all her efforts and affection, and the topic of this thesis is to analyze Uncle Tom’s characteristics.As to Uncle Tom’s characteristics in the novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin, many foreign and domestic scholars have expressed their viewpoints; among them, some appraised Uncle Tom and some criticized him. For example, in Uncle Tom’s Image of Xue Yufeng (2002), she thought that Uncle Tom was not only an affectionate Christian, but also a real man who always kept his promise, and stuck to his principles. He was abrave, strong and integral hero who faced death unflinchingly. Another Chinese writer Lin Yuting (2008) set a “black Christ image”for Uncle Tom in her Resistance or Submission. She stated that Uncle Tom was the incarnation of “love” and “goodness”whose behavior complied with Christian theory completely. He demonstrated the Christian doctrine of “love is all” and “return good for evil” through his own deeds. The foreign abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison said that Uncle Tom was “the true moral representative of goodness with great and inconvincible spirit” (1854). Activist Mary Church Terrell also said “Standing before the poor old Tom, who would not wipe his eyes; although on identity he was a slave, in mind he was philosopher, and in the heart a sage, in death a martyrs” (1911: ). However, in the eyes of other critics, Uncle Tom was not a “Hard Hero”at all. Abolitionist Charles Whipple criticized “Long—term silently succumbing to the owner of slave is complicity… The duty of man or Christians is not only against it, but if had the ability, to stop it with the appropriate way… Whether from the aspect of man’s character or from the aspect of Christian personality, I don’t think Tom is the most sublime example, because he has close relationship with slave owners” (1860: ).As the old saying goes, “Gold can’t be pure and man can’t be perfect”. Though Uncle Tom has his own personal failings and different critics have different opinions toward him, no one would deny that he is an honest, loyal and affectionate man. This thesis will depict Uncle Tom as a miserable, poor but sublimate, admirable slave. It is constituted of four parts. In chapter one, it describes Uncle Tom’s obedience of honesty and loyalty to his different masters. Chapter two is to represent Uncle Tom’s love for humanity through his Christian religion. And the next chapter is to disproof other critics’opinion of Uncle Tom’s cowardice through his gentle impulse against Legree. For the last chapter, the thesis will sublimate Uncle Tom’s greatness through George Harris’s adverse selection.Chapter One Uncle Tom’s ObedienceWhen people speak of Harriet Beecher Stowe, the first thing they thought of is Uncle Tom’s Cabin; and when people speak of Uncle Tom, the first thing in their mind is Uncle Tom’s obedience. No matter the master is generous or not, Uncle Tom is always honest and loyal to them.1.1Uncle Tom’s HonestyThough some critics criticized Uncle Tom’s cowardice of sitting down under whatever might come, they could not deny his extraordinary honesty.At the beginning of the novel, Mr. Shelby, the first and most generous master of Uncle Tom, recommended Uncle Tom’s honesty when discussing with his creditor, Haley, to whom he owed a lot sum of money that could not be paid off easily. Though Mr. Shelby was reluctant, he resorted to sell Tom to clear the debt, and he believed that Uncle Tom was absolutely worth the amount. Mr. Shelby said that Uncle Tom was his favorite pet and a “genuine article”, a pious, steady, sensible, uncommon fellow. He trusted him without question and let him come and go around the country freely, managing his money, house, and horse. Everything he had, he would ask Uncle Tom to deal with them, and many years’ success and fruits found Uncle Tom true and square in everything, and his honesty won the highest place in front of Mr. Shelby.During Mr. Shelby’s talking with Haley, there is one thing that could testify Tom’s honesty to the utmost. It was one fall, Mr. Shelby asked Tom to go to Cincinnati alone, to do business for him, and bring home five hundred dollars. “‘Tom’,” Mr. Shelby said to him, ‘I trust you because I think you are a Christian—I know you wouldn’t cheat’” (Stowe 1999: 2). Surely, Tom came back, with that sum of money, and some fellow said to him, “Tom, why don’t you make tracks for Canada?”, but Tom answered them “Ah, master trusted me, and I couldn’t” (Stowe 1999: 2). It was because of such a real thing of Uncle Tom that Mr. Shelby demanded to let him cover the whole balance of the debt.Uncle Tom’s honesty, not only made him the most important negro before Master Shelby, but also before his new master, St. Clare, after he was sold to him. St. Clarewas indolent and careless of money. Hitherto all the providing and marketing had been principally done by Adolph, the slave supervisor who was to the full, as careless and extravagant as his master. Both of St. Clare and Adolph had carried on the dispersing process with great alacrity. However, Uncle Tom had been accustomed for many years to regard his master’s property as his own. Thus when he saw, with an uneasiness he could scarcely repress, the wasteful expenditure of the establishment, he would sometimes make his suggestions in the quiet, indirect way which his class often acquired. At first, St. Clare adopted his suggestions occasionally. Later, being stuck with his soundness of mind and good business capacity and morality, he confided in him more and more, till gradually all the marketing and providing for the family were entrusted to him. Uncle Tom, trusted to an unlimited extent by a careless master, who handed him a bill without looking at it, and pocketed him the charge without counting it, had every facility and temptation to dishonesty, but an nature of impregnable honesty, strengthened by Christian faith, kept him from it.From Mr. Shelby to St. Clare, though tempted by freedom and money, Uncle Tom stuck to his principles all the time. He testified his integral character by his own honesty and won others’ trust.1.2Uncle Tom’s LoyaltySimilar to his honesty, Uncle Tom’s loyalty was mainly reflected through Master Shelby and Master St. Clare.1.2.1His loyalty to Mr. ShelbyWhen reading Uncle Tom’s Cabin, one could not forget how mindfully Uncle Tom protected his master when the master decided to sell him to South. “You have heard what she said! If I must be sold, or all the people on the place and everything go to rack, why, let me be sold” (Stowe 1999:38). Uncle Tom understood that had his master had any other expediency, he would not sell his favorite Tom. As a master, his liability was more to save other slaves in his house than to protect him, but Uncle Tom had never complained or blamed. However, as a slave, Uncle Tom had already earned Mr. Shelby the money all he got for him, and even twice more; and Mr. Shelby ought to let him go two years ago, and should have given him the passport and guaranteed toreturn freedom to him. Now, though he couldn’t help himself, he meant to sell him. On the other part, Uncle Tom, loyal as he was, not only refused Eliza’s suggestion to escape, but also determined to stay and help his master and other negroes on the place. “Master always found me on the spot, —he always will. I never have broke trust, nor used my pass no ways contrary to my word, and I never will. It’s better for me alone to go, than to break up the place and sell all. Master is not to blame” (Stowe 1999: 38). That was the poor Uncle Tom’s choice, great Uncle Tom’s choice. Even when he was sold to other masters later, he never forgot his ex-master, especially his little master George Shelby, who taught him reading and writing, and whose penny he always kept under the liner no matter where he went, dreaming that one day his young master would bring him back home. For Uncle Tom, he who teaches him one day is his teacher for life, he will always be loyal to his masters.1.2.2 His Loyalty to Augustine St. ClareAs St. Clare was an indolent and careless master, it was Uncle Tom who managed the whole house and marketing for him. Being more idealistic than practical, St. Clare knew that he was indulgent to his slaves, but he was too lazy to educate them. So he let them make him all sorts of trouble and never lifted a finger. Exactly did he know the evil of slavery, and more did he know that the problem of slavery was the problem of American laws, for which iniquity American Whites should be responsible. However, he just kept himself away from all of these matters, and acted as an outsider. But Uncle Tom, who knew all the thoughts of his master, including his profound ideas and helpless laziness, identified him as a non-Christian, for his master never went to church, always spent his Sunday evenings at the opera or theatre, and went to wine parties, and clubs, and suppers, oftener than was at all expedient. Nevertheless, Uncle Tom seldom expressed to anyone else, but founded many prayers on his master, when he was by himself in his little dormitory.One evening, St. Clare was invited out to a convivial party, and was helped home at midnight, in a condition when the body had decidedly attained the upper hand of the mind, Uncle Tom lied awake the rest of the night, praying for his drunk master.The next day, he spoke his mind to him: “I feel very bad, Master. I always have thought that Master would be good to everybody… Master has always been good to me, I haven’t nothing complain of, on that head. But there is some Master isn’t good to. Master isn’t good to himself”(Stowe 1999:202). At that moment, St. Clare was much astonished with Tom’s words, being moved to great extent. He never thought of such a considerate and loyal Tom, and from then on, he determined to keep his promise to give up bad habits. Later, when St. Clare’s daughter died at an early age, Uncle Tom accompanied him day and night. Few conciliated words had he said, he just stayed with St. Clare silently and appeared anywhere he was needed by his young master, until the last minute of the latter’s life.Chapter Two Uncle Tom’s Christian Love for HumanityHonesty and loyalty were not only the simple nature of Uncle Tom, but also basic beliefs of a Christian. As a Christian, Uncle Tom possesses all the characters a Christian should possess, such as fraternity, faith, forgiveness and endurance, let alone honesty and loyalty. As the writer Lin Yuting (2008) said, Uncle Tom was the incarnation of “love” and “goodness”, disseminating the Christian doctrine of “love is all” through his own deeds, and people respected him as their priest. He loves all the people around him, no matter poor or rich, up or low, friends or enemies.2.1 Uncle Tom’s Love for the Blacks and the LowIn that society of America, Uncle Tom’s fellow negroes—the lowest class, including their off springs,belonged to slave owners’ personal property. Their lives were totally rested on their masters, and they were not entitled to own their wives and children but watched them being sold and killed. However, Uncle Tom believed that one day the negroes would be the master of the world, no longer being despised and trodden down. They would perhaps show forth some of the latest and most magnificent revelations of human life; and they would exhibit the highest form of the peculiarly Christian life. As God chastened who He loved, He knew that He had chosen poor negroes in the furnace of affliction, to make them the highest and noblest in that kingdom, which He would set up, when every other kingdom had been tried,and failed; for the first should be the last, and the last first.Uncle Tom believed that they were God’s chosen people, and always would they be. So when Uncle Tom saw old Prue, the poor slave who addicted herself to drinking to forget all the miseries that befell on her, he tried to persuade her to leave off drinking, which in his eyes would be the ruin of human’s body and soul: “Oh, Lord have mercy on you poor creature. Haven’t you ever heard of Jesus Christ; that loved us poor sinners, and died for us” (Stowe 1999:125)? After being told her story that in order to please her master she had to listen to her baby crying to death, and for this she began to doubt God’s existence, Uncle Tom still consoled her of God’s fraternity: “Oh, poor creature! Haven’t nobody never told you how the lord Jesus loved you, and died for you? Haven’t they told you that he’ll help you, and you can go to heaven, and have rest, at last” (Stowe 1999:216)? Though Prue died at last, Uncle Tom’s comfort was born in her heart.Lucy, another inferior slave on Master Legree’s plantation, weak and strong-willed, was much tortured by the master for her loyalty to her husband and refused to be married to another one. So anything she did would be found wrong and any anger would purposely result from her. Seeing this, Uncle Tom couldn’t help giving his mercy on her; he helped her ground beans for dinner, and in order to pass the inspection, he crammed his own cotton to her basket. Though being whipped himself, he never obeyed the master’s order to give a whip on poor Lucy. It was not only Prue and Lucy that Uncle Tom poured his love into, but to all inferior ones he was kind and merciful. He was the priest of other slaves around him; he assisted the desperate Eliza to escape with her child; he exchanged his own life for Cassy and Emeline’s freedom; for those poor creatures he convinced them of God’s generosity and equality. He believed that only if they negroes work hard, would they be helped by God, and all their miseries in this world would be happiness in the next, for the Lord loved his ill children and would put his holy hand on their heads himself.2.2Uncle Tom’s Love for the WhitesRich or poor, weak or strong, the Lord loves his children equally, and so was Uncle Tom, who loved his masters as much as his fellows. His love for masters, withsome what of respect and admiration, differed from his love for the blacks. Especially as to his young master George Shelby and Evangeline, who were angels and G od’s evangelists to him, he loved them more than anything.2.2.1 His love for George ShelbyAs George Shelby was the highest and most distinguished guest in Uncle Tom’s little cabin, so all of Aunt Chloe’s delicious food was prepared for him. His gentleness, simple knowledge, and beautiful voice of reading, were all obsessions to the family. Now and then, the family was attracted by his laugh in the little cabin; here and there in corners, it could be found Uncle Tom learning from him; and many Sunday’s nights the family listened to his reading of Bible sincerely. For them, George Shelby was the angel that was sent by God to comfort them, and Uncle Tom loved him just as he loved the God. So when Uncle Tom was informed of his selling and leaving from Shelby house, never did he have any complaints but only one hope to see his young master again. His tears were down when he saw George Shelby’s horse after him on his way to South: “Oh, Master George! This does me good! I couldn’t bear to go off without seeing you! It does me real good, you can’t tell”(Stowe 1999:99)! On that moment of dispatch, George Shelby reproached his parents’cruelty of selling Tom, but Tom still admonished him to be a good son and good Christian, “And now, Master George, you must be a good boy. Remember how many hearts are set on you… Real gentleman, such as I hope you’ll be, never let fall no words that isn’t respectful to your parents” (Stowe 1999:100). Uncle Tom wished that when his young master grew up, he would be the proud of his father and mother, and all the people on the place. He wished him to be a good master, like his father; be a good Christian, like his mother. However, day and day went after their parting, year and year passed, the old Tom and his young master didn’t meet again until the last moment of Uncle Tom’s life. When George Shelby grew up, and eventually came for him, he was whipped to the last breathe by Legree. Death, he did not fear, but he couldn’t bear to leave off without seeing his young master, whose name he had spoken of many times in his heart when he was by himself. Seeing him, finally, he died smilingly. It was Uncle Tom that influenced George Shelby the most, and for whom George Shelby determined to be aslave emancipator.2.2.2 His love for EvangelineEva’s appearance ha d dispersed Unc le Tom’s grief after he left Mr. Shelby’s place. With a benevolent master of St. Clare, and a lovely angel of Eva, Uncle Tom restored himself and was quickly immersed in happiness again. When Uncle Tom first saw Eva, whose form was the perfection of childish beauty, with an undulating and aerial grace, and who was always dressed in white, always with a half-smile on her rosy mouth, flying here and there as in a happy dream, he believed that he saw one of the angels stepped out of his New Testament, and when he was finally brought to her house, being a protector, a companion of her, he thought it was the best life he had imagined.It would be hard to say in which place of Uncle Tom’s soft, impressible heart little Eva held. Uncle Tom loved her as something frail and earthly, yet almost worshipped her as something heavenly and divine. He gazed at her as the Italian sailor gazed at the image of the child Jesus, —with a mixture of reverence and tenderness. Every morning in the market, Uncle Tom’s eyes were always on the flower-stalls for Eva, and the choicest peace or orange was slipped into his pocket to give to her when he came back; and the sight that pleased him most was that Eva’s sunny head looked out of the gate for his distant approach, and her childish questions, —“Well, Uncle Tom, what have you got for me today”(Stowe 1999:256)? However, day by day, though their friendship had grown with the child’s growth, her decaying health and growing pre-mature mind worried Uncle Tom more and more. Bible, the best bond of their hearts and minds, was talked by them oftener and oftener as the true heaven was approaching Eva nearer and nearer. “Where do you suppose New Jerusalem is, Uncle Tom,”said Eva one day. “Oh, up in the clouds, Miss Eva.”“Then I think I see it”(Stowe 1999:257). And when Uncle Tom was singing the well-known Methodist hymn “spirits bright”for her, she said that she had already saw those spirits who always came to her in her sleep. Uncle Tom had no doubt of it at all; for it didn’t surprise him in the least. If Eva had told him she had been to heaven, he would believe it entirely. The child’s increasing illness and maturity of mind and feelingswere all known by Uncle Tom, sometimes he clasped her in his arms, as if that fond clasp would save her and keep her; clearly did he know that his angel would be gone, for her true Father was calling her. “Uncle Tom, I can understand why Jesus wanted to die for us. I’ve felt so, too. When I saw those poor creatures, —some had lost their mothers, and some their husbands, and some mothers cried for their little children, —and when I heard poor Prue, —Oh, wasn’t that dreadful!—and a great many other times I’ve felt that I would be glad to die, if my dying could stop all this misery, I would die for them, Tom, if I could” (Stowe 1999:372). Nobody could understand but Tom that such words were spoken out from such a girl, whose words were exactly what was in Uncle Tom’s heart. And eventually, Eva died; sorrowful as Uncle Tom was, he knew his angel was returning to her eternal world.Eva died, but in the eyes of Uncle Tom, she died for her poor creatures. As the evangelist of God, when her responsibility was performed in this world, she should go back home. And in the eyes of readers of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Uncle Tom was also a sage like Eva; he was another ‘Jesus Christ” that loved all creatures in the world, for whom he sacrificed himself at last. So, when Eva died, it was also a portent to Uncle Tom’s death; and when he had fulfilled his duties, he would also go back to the Father.2.3 Uncle Tom’s Love for His EnemiesThe most evaluable quality of a Christian is love, and the highest level of love is the equality of love. Uncle Tom, whose love balanced from racial discrimination and hostility, fulfilled all these principles. Not only did he love the blacks and whites, but also he loved his enemies as well. This could be best shown by his forgiveness to Master Legree, the evilest slave owner that treaded his slaves inhumanly, and towards Uncle Tom he buried his deep hatred. Uncle Tom’s Christian love, which influenced many other slaves in the place, dispersed the dark clouds always hanging over Legree’s plantation, and this fundamentally offended Legree’s interests, the king of the evil. So from everywhere and everything Legree would found troubles on Uncle Tom, since his final aim was to discipline Uncle Tom as an evil man as he himself. When Uncle Tom helped others, he himself would be punished; when he fixed hisrighteous, firm eyes on Legree’s face, his own face would be boxed instantly. Though Uncle Tom was tortured to a degree that one could no longer bear, and even whipped to death at last, he never lowered his head to Legree or hated him; he forgave him and showed his Christian love for him, “Master, if you was sick or in trouble, or dying, and I could save you, I’d give you my heart’s blood; and if taking every drop of blood in this poor old body would save your precious soul, I’d give them freely, as the Lord gives his for me. Oh, Master! Don’t bring this great sin on your soul! It will hurt you more than it wills me! Do the worst you can, my troubles will be over soon; but, if you don’t repent, yours would never end” (Stowe 1999:404)! And the last sentence he said to his enemy was: “Your poor miserable creature! There are no more you can do!I forgive you, with all my soul” (Stowe 1999:405).There is no such a loyal Christian but Uncle Tom, no such a real human but Uncle Tom, and no such a loyal child of Jesus but Uncle Tom. He harbored his love for the whole humanity and the whole world!Chapter Three Uncle Tom’s Disobedience of Gentle ImpulseSince ancient times, many critics had defined Uncle Tom as the representative of those who sat down under whatever adversities might come. “Uncle Tomism”had ever been the derogatory word for those blacks who depreciated themselves to flatter white rulers. Even there were people who criticized Uncle Tom as the opposite representative of blacks, for he was only a slave entirely submissive to his master. All those criticism of Uncle Tom was mostly due to the fact that he had had chances to escape twice: for one chance when he was told to be sold by Mr. Shelby, he could use the passport to escape, and for the other chance when he was tortured by Legree, he could choose to escape with Cassy and Emeline, but he relinquished these chances and stayed to wait for God’s determination. However, it was not for Uncle Tom’s cowardice but greatness that he sacrificed his freedom. The reason for his resolution to stay on Shelby’s place was to save other slaves there, and why he refused to escape with Cassy was to keep his faith in Lord. Uncle Tom was not a coward in the least, but a brave and strong hero. Though Uncle Tom’s was obedient and full of gentle loveto humanity, he has his own principles and disobedience too. Such gentle impulse was mainly shown from his disobedience against Legree.Uncle Tom loved his enemy, Legree, but it didn’t mean that Uncle Tom was tame and docile. He loved him because he wanted to edify him with love; once there was something going against his principles and faith, he would never submit, and never had he. When his assistance to poor Lucy incurred Legree’s hatred and revenge, and was ordered to whip Lucy, he didn’t obey but answered: “I beg Master’s pardon, and hopes Master won’t set me at that. It’s what I’m not used to, —never did, —and can’t do, no way possible. I’m willing to work, night and day, and work while there’s life and breath in me; but this thing I can’t feel it right to do; and Master, I never shall do it, —never”(Stowe 1999:350). Such stubborn refusal ignited Legree’s wrath to the utmost, for he thought that the slaves should bow themselves to their masters completely, and he had paid down twelve dollars for all there was inside Uncle Tom’s old cussed black shell; in his eyes, Uncle Tom’s whole body and soul belonged to him, but now he was resisted by his slave. Even so, Uncle Tom was not frightened; he retorted and denied his soul belonging to Legree as he declared: “No! No! No! My soul isn’t yours, Master! You haven’t bought it, —you can’t buy it! It’s been bought and paid for, by one that is able to keep it; —no matter, no matter, you can’t harm me!” (Stowe 1999:351); and the one that was able to keep his soul was the holy Lord.Though Uncle Tom was an obedient, “yes”slave on appearance, in his heart, nothing could, and would make him betray his principles and faith. He was a genuine “Hard Hero”.Chapter Four Uncle Tom’s Tragic Ending Hard hero as Uncle Tom, he died at last. No matter they appraised or criticized him, people felt sad about his death. And compared with George Harris’ happy ending, Uncle Tom’s tragedy lied in history as a forever scar i n people’s heart.4.1 Comparison Between George Harris and Uncle TomAs the novel ended, Uncle Tom died. His death was the consequence of slavery in that society. But there was also an opposite ending of American slavery; it was。

汤姆叔叔的小屋读后感英文版
汤姆叔叔的小屋读后感英文版汤姆叔叔的小屋读后感英文版After I finished readingUncle T om’s Cabin,It felt like I just finished watching a movie and I myself was a character in the movie, which clearly disclose the nature of capitalism. Meanwhile, this book reconfirmed a thought that the prosperity of some capitalist countries is based on the unknowns’ sacrifice.The story in the article is mainly about this, a slaveholder had to sell his two slaves, one of whom named Tom, to pay debt. Faced to this kind of miserable life and being a slave who is loyal to his owner, Tom never thought to run away, because he, a real believer in Christianity, had decided to pursue to be an honest man all his life. Tom’s new owner made him live a more unbearable life, what’s worse, T om didn’t change his mind. Until the last second Tom’s last owner regretted his decision and wanted to bail Tom out, but, unfortunately, Tom died of that kind of misery.This article analyzes the characteristics of loyalty, kindness and generosity embodied in Uncle Tom who was full of kindness was the true hero in the history of American novels, it also points out that Tom was very tolerant and weak to the cruelty of slavery and that the black must fight back to gain freedom. Though died of slaveholders’ persecution, Tom was a winner in the spirit, which in defiance of the physical injure , perhaps as such, Tom got the right to enjoy his dream life in the heaven.As a white, Mrs. Stow wrote this article, the greatest anti-slavery work of America in the 19thcentury, to express her idea to appeal the people in the south to stand up to fight against the slavery sustained in the South of America, everybody in America,including the white, should sympathize with those black slaves on their miserable fate.Nowadays, people still regard Tom as a symbol of never giving up pursuing to realize his value. Tom did not give up his belief regardless of the unbearable destiny, and he proved us that the black were self-governed individualities, not born to slaves working for the white. To some extent, it is safe to draw the conclusion that Tom would be the heretical model at all events.。

Pursuit of Freedom in Uncle Tom’s CabinIntroductionUncle Tom’s cabin is a novel by the American female novelist Harriet Beecher Stowe published in 1852. In this novel, Mrs. Stowe criticized the slavery and expressed the compassion for the black slaves. Therefore, the novel had a great effect on Africa Americans and slavery in the US, and it also influenced the Civil War’s breaking out to some degree so that the President Lincoln called the author “the little lady who started the big war”. Mrs. Stowe, born in the State of Connecticut, was a teacher at Hartford Female Academy and she was also a pious Christian. As a Christian, she regarded slavery inhumane.A summary of the bookThe story took place in the 1850s. Uncle Tom, an honest slave on the Shelby plantation, is respected by his owners and all the slaves on this plantation. However, Tom has to be sold because Mr. Shelby, the owner of the plantation, is deeply in debt to a slaver called Haley. Along with Tom, a boy called Harry, the child of his wife's servant Eliza, is to be sold as well. Though Tom is sorrowful, he still vows that he won’t run away. Because he knows if he did so, his master would be caught in debt so deeply that he would have to sell all the slaves.Just before Tom is taken away, Mrs. Shelby promises him that she will buy him back as soon as she can gather the funds. Eventually Tom was sold to a kindly master named Mr. St. Clare.Eliza, however, cannot bear to part with her son and escapes the night before he is to be taken from her. She escapes successfully and reaches a Quaker village where she is reunited with her husband George, who has also escaped from his master’s plantation. They spend a night in the family and set off to Canada. Though there are slave hunters hunting them and George also has a firefight with these hunters, they arrived in Canada successfully at last.Tom befriends his new master and especially his young daughter Eva, who shares Tom’s deep religious faith and devotion. Unfortunately, Eva becomes ill and is going to die. She accepts the news peacefully and tells her family and their servants that she is happy knowing that she is going to heaven, where such cruelty does not exist. St. Clare begins to confront therealization that he believes slavery is evil, and he promises Tom that he will give him freedom in the event of St. Clare’s death.Shortly after Eva dies, her father dies tragically in an accident, and Tom's fate is left entirely in the hands of Mrs. St. Clare. She decides to move back to her parents' estate and to sell all the slaves. Though she is asked to fulfill St. Clare's promise to give Tom his freedom, she refuses and Tom ends up in the hands of Simon Legree, an evil plantation owner. He forces his slaves to work hard and replaces them when they inevitably die just a few years later.On Legree's plantation, Tom meets two slaves: Emmeline and Cassy. Emmeline is a young mulatto woman sold to Legree at the same time as Tom, and she attempts to befriend the Cassy, who has suffered at the hands of Legree for several years. Legree soon comes to hate Tom after Tom refuses to beat and discipline the other slaves. Legree planned to turn Tom into an overseer, and when he realizes that Tom will not take it, he becomes angry and takes out his wrath on Tom. Tom becomes discouraged until he dreams of the heaven one night. So he decides it is his mission to suffer for the other slaves and he tries his best to help other slaves, which annoys Legree. And when Emmeline and Cassy escape, he demands that Tom tell him everything he knows. Tom admits that he knew their plans to escape and their whereabouts, but he refuses to disclose where they are. Legree beats Tom so severely that after a few days, he dies.Cassy and Emmeline eventually escape, and they happen to meet George Shelby, who is rooming next to a woman named Madame de Thoux. Through conversation, it is discovered that Eliza Harris is Cassy's daughter, and George Harris is Madame de Thoux's brother. Cassy and Madame de Thoux journey together to Canada, where they are reunited with their family. Madame de Thoux reveals that her husband has left her a large inheritance, and they all move to France together. The family then moves to Africa, and Cassy's long-lost son, who has been found, joins them finally and George Shelby gives all the servants on the Shelby farm their freedom, and tells them to be Christians and to think of Tom.Comments on the BookFrom this novel, I learned more about the American social situation before the Civil war, different opinions about the slavery, and people with different kinds of qualities.About the American social situation, I learned the plantation economy in southern part of the US in the 1950s, the slave’s living condition. About the different opinions about the slavery, I learned that some plantation owners who are pious Christian think trading slaves is wicked and doesn’t accord to the dogma, but they don’t oppose owning slaves and that others like slavers, conservative plantation owners regard slave as a kind of property or a tool to make money. About the people with different kinds of qualities, I learned the honesty of Uncle Tom, the braveness and brightness of George, the kindness of Eva, the cruelty of Legree. However, though the novel makes me learn a lot, what impress me most are different people’s pursuits of freedom and among these people pursuing freedom, the most typical people are Uncle Tom and George. The two persons and their completely different fates can reflect two opposite choices when people pursue freedom.In the novel Uncle Tom’s cabin, both Uncle Tom and George are keen on freedom. But when the two men faces the fact that they will be sold, Tom chooses to accept it and George chooses to escape. The two different ways imply two different choices to pursue freedom in essence and it’s the different choices that lead to the different results: Tom dies and George survives. From the results, we can learn clearly which choice is better and now I just want to analyze why they make different choices.The first reason, I think, is the different characters. Uncle Tom, as we know, is honest, kind, hard-working, tolerant and pious. He is loyal to his master and he believes if only he is honest and loyal to his master, he can get freedom from his master someday. But at last he fails and dies. George, a smart, ambitious and young man, doesn’t believe that plantation owners can give him freedom. He knows he must acquire freedom by himself. George is brave, confident and he has a spirit of adventure and revolution. Therefore, he gets freedom finally.The second reason, in my opinion, is the different experiences. Uncle Tom has a kind master: Mr. Shelby. On the Shelby plantation, he is well treated. He is loyal to his master and his master believes in him and promises that he will give Tom freedom. As a result, Tom believes it’s his honesty that helps him get freedom and he never intends to escape. However, George, the young man, has a bad master. He works hard but his master treats him badly and he is often abused by his master. As a result, he doesn’t believe his master can give himfreedom. So when he gets a chance to escape, he takes it without any hesitation.The third reason, as far as I am concerned, is the reorganization towards slave owner. Uncle Tom is a pious Christian and believes if only he does well, he will get a reward: freedom and he just needs to be patient because he has sin. So he pins his hope on slave owner who treat slaves as property, not human. George has suffered a lot from what the slave owner does. He doe sn’t count on his master to give him freedom. He thinks however slave owners treat slaves, slaves are just a kind of property and slaves can’t get true freedom. So he decides to pursue freedom by himself.The three reasons above, I think, can explain why Uncle Tom and George can make different choices and have different results. And after analyzing the reasons of the two men’s different choices, my opinion about pursuit of freedom is to fight for, not to wait for and that we should pin our hope to ourselves, not others.“Life is dear, love is dearer. Both can be given up for freedom.”On the way of pursuing freedom, waiting just means perdition. Fighting can bring a new lease of life. Both Chinese Revolution and American Revolution can prove that it’s right to fight for freedom.On the way of pursuing freedom, I prefer to be George rather than Uncle Tom.。

《汤姆叔叔的小屋》英文读后感篇1Joy depicts the crisis of faith that overcomes Rabbi Banish of Komarov, who, having buried his four sons and two daughters. Only through the mercy of the God he has denied, manifest in a radiant vision of the dead Rebecca, his beloved youngest daughter, is the rabbi’s belief restor ed. The sense of wonder and the touch of heavenly joy that linger after the vision dissolves convince Rabbi Banish of the folly of judging God’s actions by human standards. The rabbi has interpreted the apparent tragedy of his children’s premature deaths as evidence of God’s alienation, forgetting that God is by definition inscrutable. That God’s purpose transcends man’s ability to comprehend it is made clear to the expiring rabbi when the family dead approach his deathbed with arms outstretched to enfold him among them. For theirs is the kingdom of heaven to which a loving God has called them; and their deaths have evidenced not God’s wrath but his grace.A version of Rabbi Banish’s deathbed revelation appears to Rabbi Nechemia in Something Is There. At twenty-seven he is already racked by the doubts that torment Rabbi Banish. So shaken is his belief in God that he deserts his rabbinical post in provincial Bechev for the flesh-posts of Warsaw. Although the prostitutes, unclean food, and shady business dealings which hewitnesses there hold no attraction for the erstwhile rabbi, they intensify his revulsion from the world created by God and therefore his alienation from God himself. Unlike Rabbi Bainish, whose intimations of immortality and consequent rededication to God precede his radiant deathbed vision, Rabbi Nechemia cannot allay his doubts until the very moment of death, when a light he never knew was there flickered in hid brain.While his dying words—something is there—resolve his crisis of faith, they come too late to affect the spiritual renewal attained by Rabbi Banish. No explicit promise of immortality, let along of salvation, attends Rabbi Nechemia’s vision. Perhaps grace is accorded Rabbi Banish because his doubt is triggered by devastating personal losses, and withheld from Rabbi Nechemia because his despair is the bitter fruit of idle speculation about the unknown. Whatever the reason, relatively few of Singer’s characters are granted at the moment of death the transcendent vision of unity between man and God that appears to Rabbi Banish in Joy. For the fortunate few, release from time into eternity is affected by a divine visitation which obliterates distinctions between past and present, living and dead.These kinds of characters are lost in their world because of the seducement of the material world. They doubt their formal faith and gradually give up what they believed. But after they have experienced so much hardship, they realize that they cannot adapt to the life of the outer world so they regress to the former life with formal faith. They realize the importance of God and they begin to think seriously about the relationship between man and God. At last they find their right way of their life.《汤姆叔叔的小屋》英文读后感篇2These days Ive just finished the novel Uncle Toms Cabin thatleft a really deep impression on me and we can see.It is a book written in 1852 in response to the passage of the Fugitive Slave Law, Uncle Toms Cabin has been considered as the most influential anti-slavery novel in that period and described by Stowe herself as a “series of sketches” describing the human cruelty of slavery, opens with a description of Arthur Shelbys Kentucky plantation during the antebellum period.There are several impressive characters in this novel, George who is clever and brave;Harry, a beautiful and talented child who sings dances and mimes;Mrs. Shelby, a very religious woman;Sambo and Qimbo and so on. The major character Uncle Tom who was the most impressive in this novel was a devout Christian. He endured the miserable fate bravely and aroused the whites sympathy for slaves with his Christs sacrifice and the tolerance of returning good for evil. This novel focuses on the distinctive personalities of Uncle Tom deeply influenced by Christianity and the important role Uncle Toms Cabin playing on abolition; and the Significance of “Uncle Tom” to the harmonious worlds development, and the effect on modern people.In the book, at the beginning, the author presents us a very beautiful image of a rather harmonious family who live a happy life. However, that beautiful image couldnt last long, the darkness came soon. The master of this happy family, Uncle Tom was arranged into a difficult situation. As Shelby(), the not cruel master, he has incurred serious debts- prompting him sell some slaves to avoid financial ruin, so Uncle Tom, Shelbys loyal servant since childhood was sold to Mr.Haley, the slave trader. Uncle Tom remained loyal to his master, despite his betrayal and the risk of death at the cruelhands of a new master. The slaves at the plantation were very mournful, but T om remained placid and tried to read his Bible for comfort. On the steamboat to New Orleans, where Tom was to be sold, Tom befriended an angelic little girl, “Little Eva” St. Clare. Uncle Tom saved the five-year-old beauty from drowning, and she convinced her father to buy Tom for her own family. In her family, Tom enjoyed his life because of the girls love; Toms contentment does not last, however, because Eva soon falls ill. Dying, Eva asked Mr. St. Clare to free Tom after her death. But Mr. St. Clare is so sad by her death that he never legally freed Tom before he himself was killed trying to mediate a barroom scuffle. Mrs. St. Clare sold the slaves to settle her husbands debts and Tom was sold to Simon Legree who was so violent that beat his slaves brutally. At last, when Mr. Shelby, finally found Uncle T om, he was almost died. After Tom was dead and buried, Shelby went back and freed his slaves.As we all can see that Uncle T oms Cabin was an anti-slavery novel and it was even considered as one factor that caused the Civil War. In the novel, the slaves were sold from one place to another frequently, and their fate was tragic, with no exception- just like Uncle Tom, no matter he was under the control of kind masters or evil masters, he cant escape the misfortune of being sold from one master to another. We cant see any human right of them, so terrible.As someone said, with more people realizing the inhumanity of slavery in the 19th century, slavery became one of the most important issues and it became more violent year by year in American society. However, slavery was not abolished irrevocably until ratification of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution in 1865, following the Civil War. After the passage of Fugitive SlaveAct of 1850, Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote this novel Uncle Toms Cabin which publicized the evil of slavery to a wide audience.Now we are in the 21st century, we may never come across such kind of thing. However, this book can always remind of us that there ever has existed this evil and we cant let it happen again. And “equality” 、“human right ” cant just be a slogan, we should make it come true really and always.《汤姆叔叔的小屋》英文读后感篇3After I finished readingUncle T om’s Cabin,It felt like I just finished watching a movie and I myself was a character in the movie, which clearly disclose the nature of capitalism. Meanwhile, this book reconfirmed a thought that the prosperity of some capitalist countries is based on the unknowns’ sac rifice.The story in the article is mainly about this, a sla一veholder had to sell his two sla一ves, one of whom named Tom, to pay deb一t. Faced to this kind of miserable life and being a sla一ve who is loyal to his owner, Tom never thought to run away, because he, a real believer in Christianity, had decided to pursue to be an honest man all his life. Tom’s new owner made him live a more unbearable life, what’s worse, Tom didn’t change his mind. Until the last second Tom’s last owner regretted his decision and wanted to bail Tom out, but, unfortunately, Tom died of that kind of misery.This article analyzes the characteristics of loyalty, kindness and generosity embodied in Uncle Tom who was full of kindness was the true hero in the history of American novels, it also points out that T om was very tolerant and weak to the cruelty of sla一very and that the black must fight back to gain freedom. Though died of sla一veholders’ persecution, Tom was a winner in the spirit, which in defiance of the physical injure , perhaps as such,Tom got the right to enjoy his dream life in the hea一ven.As a white, Mrs. Stow wrote this article, the greatest anti-sla 一very work of America in the 19thcentury, to express her idea to appeal the people in the south to stand up to fight against the sla一very sustained in the South of America, everybody in America, including the white, should sympathize with those black sla一ves on their miserable fate.Nowadays, people still regard Tom as a symbol of never giving up pursuing to realize his value. Tom did not give up his belief regardless of the unbearable destiny, and he proved us that the black were self-governed individualities, not born to sla一ves working for the white. To some extent, it is safe to draw the conclusion that Tom would be the heretical model at all events. 《汤姆叔叔的小屋》英文读后感篇4"Uncle Tom has been a good and faithful servant(slave)for the entirety of his(now adult)Master's life.He has been dealt with fairly and kindly by the Master,his wife and son.However,the Master gets into some debt and decides to settle up by not only selling Tom,but also the young mulatto boy of the demure house slave Eliza.This is despite the Master's various estates,numerous horses,and opulant style of living.Eliza overhears this plan,and runs away with her boy;refusing to give him up.Tom,on the other hand,decides to remain loyal to his Master's wishes and put his faith in God.What ensues is the harrowing flight of Eliza,her husband George,and their child to Canada.Aided by kind strangers,and Godly Quakers,they fight for man's basic rights-freedom.Tom,on the other hand,is sold down the river.He witnesses many brutal and heartwrenching events before being bought by a young,intelligent dandy and his angelic daughter.It is here thatwe find a curious sentiment towards the humanity of the slaves,and find a northern abolition-minded woman showing her disgust at ugly and spirited little Topsy.After a few years,when Uncle T om is on the brink of being granted freedom by this benevolent new Master,the man dies suddenly.Tom is then sold once more to a beast of a farmer,who abuses slaves in the worst ways he can imagine.This book does not pull any punches.It shows the brutality of slavery in explicit detail,and the narrative is amazing in its ability to capture the sentiment of the time."《汤姆叔叔的小屋》英文读后感篇5Joy depicts the crisis of faith that overcomes Rabbi Banish of Komarov, who, ha一ving buried his four sons and two daughters. Only through the mercy of the God he has denied, manifest in a radiant vision of the dead Rebecca, his beloved youngest daughter, is the rabbi’s belief restored. The sense of wonder and the touch of hea一venly joy that linger after the vision dissolves convince Rabbi Banish of the folly of judging God’s actions by human standards. The rabbi has interpreted the apparent tragedy of his children’s premature deaths as evidence of God’s alienation, forgetting that God is by definition inscrutable. That God’s purpose transcends man’s ability to comprehend it is made clear to the expiring rabbi when the family dead approach his deathbed with arms outstretched to enfold him among them. For theirs is the kingdom of hea一ven to which a loving God has called them; and their deaths ha一ve evidenced not God’s wrath but his grace.A version of Rabbi Banish’s deathbed revelation appears to Rabbi Nechemia in Something Is There. At twenty-seven he is already racked by the doub一ts that torment Rabbi Banish. Soshaken is his belief in God that he deserts his rabbinical post in provincial Bechev for the flesh-posts of Warsaw. Although the prostitutes, unclean food, and shady business dealings which he witnesses there hold no attraction for the erstwhile rabbi, they intensify his revulsion from the world created by God and therefore his alienation from God himself. Unlike Rabbi Bainish, whose intimations of immortality and consequent rededication to God precede his radiant deathbed vision, Rabbi Nechemia cannot allay his doub一ts until the very moment of death, when a light he never knew was there flickered in hid brain. While his dying words—something is there—resolve his crisis of faith, they come too late to affect the spiritual renewal attained by Rabbi Banish. No explicit promise of immortality, let along of salvation, attends Rabbi Nechemia’s vision. Perhaps grace is accor ded Rabbi Banish because his doub一t is triggered by devastating personal losses, and withheld from Rabbi Nechemia because his despair is the bitter fruit of idle speculation about the unknown. Whatever the reason, relatively few of Singer’s characters are granted at the moment of death the transcendent vision of unity between man and God that appears to Rabbi Banish in Joy. For the fortunate few, release from time into eternity is affected by a divine visitation which obliterates distinctions between past and present, living and dead.These kinds of characters are lost in their world because of the seducement of the material world. They doub一t their formal faith and gradually give up what they believed. But after they ha 一ve experienced so much hardship, they realize that they cannot adapt to the life of the outer world so they regress to the former life with formal faith. They realize the importance of God and they begin to think seriously about the relationship between man andGod. At last they find their right way of their life.《汤姆叔叔的小屋》英文读后感篇6Some time ago,I read a person's fame Khvostov of as "Uncle Tom's cabin."

汤姆叔叔的小屋英文读后感
汤姆叔叔的小屋英文读后感《汤姆叔叔的小屋英文读后感》这是优秀的读后感文章,希望可以对您的学习工作中带来帮助!1、汤姆叔叔的小屋英文读后感No slavery, be equalThese days I've just finished the novel Uncle T om's Cabin that left a really deep impression on me and we can see.It is a book written in 1852 in response to the passage of the Fugitive Slave Law, Uncle T om's Cabin has been considered as the most influential anti-slavery novel in that period and described by Stowe herself as a “series of sketches” describing the human cruelty of slavery, opens with a description of Arthur Shelby's Kentucky plantation during the antebellum period.There are several impressive characters in this novel, George who is clever and brave;Harry, a beautiful and talented child who sings dances and mimes;Mrs. Shelby, a very religious woman;Sambo and Qimbo and so on. The major character Uncle Tom who was the most impressive in this novel was a devout Christian. He endured the miserable fate bravely and aroused the white's sympathy for slaves with his Christ's sacrifice and the tolerance of returning good for evil. This novel focuses on the distinctive personalities of Uncle Tom deeply influenced by Christianity and the important role Uncle Tom's Cabin playing on abolition; and the Significance of “Uncle Tom” to the harmonious world's development, and the effect on modern people.In the book, at the beginning, the author presents us a very beautiful image of a rather harmonious family who live a happy life. However, that beautiful image couldn't last long, thedarkness came soon. The master of this happy family, Uncle Tom was arranged into a difficult situation. As Shelby, the not cruel master, he has incurred serious debts- prompting him sell some slaves to avoid financial ruin, so Uncle Tom, Shelby's loyal servant since childhood was sold to Mr. Haley, the slave trader. Uncle Tom remained loyal to his master, despite his betrayal and the risk of death at the cruel hands of a new master. The slaves at the plantation were very mournful, but Tom remained placid and tried to read his Bible for comfort. On the steamboat to New Orleans, where Tom was to be sold, Tom befriended an angelic little girl, “Little Eva” St. Clare. Uncle Tom saved the five-year-old beauty from drowning, and she convinced her father to buy Tom for her own family. In her family, Tom enjoyed his life because of the girl's love; Tom's contentment does not last, however, because Eva soon falls ill. Dying, Eva asked Mr. St. Clare to free Tom after her death. But Mr. St. Clare is so sad by her death that he never legally freed Tom before he himself was killed trying to mediate a barroom scuffle. Mrs. St. Clare sold the slaves to settle her husband's debts and Tom was sold to Simon Legree who was so violent that beat his slaves brutally. At last, when Mr. Shelby, finally found Uncle T om, he was almost died. After Tom was dead and buried, Shelby went back and freed his slaves.As we all can see that Uncle Tom's Cabin was an anti-slavery novel and it was even considered as one factor that caused the Civil War. In the novel, the slaves were sold from one place to another frequently, and their fate was tragic, with no exception- just like Uncle Tom, no matter he was under the control of kind masters or evil masters, he can't escape the misfortune of being sold from one master to another. We can't see any human right of them, so terrible.As someone said, with more people realizing the inhumanity of slavery in the 19th century, slavery became one of the most important issues and it became more violent year by year in American society. However, slavery was not abolished irrevocably until ratification of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution in 1865, following the Civil War. After the passage of Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote this novel Uncle Tom's Cabin which publicized the evil of slavery to a wide audience.Now we are in the 21st century, we may never come across such kind of thing. However, this book can always remind of us that there ever has e__sted this evil and we can't let it happen again. And “equality” 、“human right ” can't just be a slogan, we should make it come true really and always.2、汤姆叔叔的小屋读后感《汤姆叔叔的小屋》由美国比切·斯陀夫人所写的。

The major character Uncle Tom who was the most impressive in this novel was a devout Christian. He endured the miserable fate bravely and aroused the white’s sympathy for slaves with his Christ’s sacrifice and thetolerance of returning good for evil. This novel focuses on the distinctive personalities of Uncle Tom deeply influenced by Christianity and the important role Uncle Tom’s Cabin playing on abolition; and the Significance of “Uncle Tom” to the harmonious world’s development, and the effect on modern people.In the book, at the beginning, the author presents us a very beautiful image of a rather harmonious family who live a happy life. However, that beautiful image couldn’t last long, the darkness came soon. The master of this happy family, Uncle Tom was arranged into a difficult situation. As Shelby, the not cruel master, he has incurred serious debts- prompting him sell some slaves to avoid financial ruin, so Uncle Tom, Shelby’s loyal servant since childhood was sold to Mr. Haley, the slave trader. Uncle Tom remained loyal to his master, despite his betrayal and the risk of death at the cruel hands of a new master. The slaves at the plantation were very mournful, but Tom remained placid and tried to read his Bible for comfort. On the steamboat to New Orleans, where Tom was to be sold, Tom befriended an angelic little girl, “Little Eva” St. Clare. Uncle Tom saved the five-year-old beauty from drowning, and sheconvinced her father to buy Tom for her own family. In her family, Tom enjoyed his life because of the girl’s love; Tom’s contentment does not last, however, because Eva soon falls ill. Dying, Eva asked Mr. St. Clare to free Tom after her death. But Mr. St. Clare is so sad by her death that he never legally freed Tom before he himself was killed trying to mediate a barroom scuffle. Mrs. St. Clare sold the slaves to settle her husband’s debts and Tom was sold to Simon Legree who was so violent that beat his slaves brutally. At last, when Mr. Shelby, finally found Uncle Tom, he was almost died. After Tom was dead and buried, Shelby went back and freed his slaves.As we all can see that Uncle Tom’s Cabin was an anti-slavery novel and it was even considered as one factor that caused the Civil War. In the novel, the slaves were sold from one place to another frequently, and their fate was tragic, with no exception- just like Uncle Tom, no matter he was under the control of kind masters or evil masters, he can’t escape the misfortune of being sold from one master to another. We can’t see any human right of them, so terrible.As someone said, with more people realizing theinhumanity of slavery in the 19th century, slavery became one of the most important issues and it became more violent year by year in American society. However, slavery was not abolished irrevocably until ratification of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution in 1865, following the Civil War. After the passage of Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote this novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin which publicized the evil of slavery to a wide audience.Now we are in the 21st century, we may never come across such kind of thing. However, this book can always remind of us that there ever has existed this evil and we can’t let it happen again. And “equality”、“human right ” can’t just be a slogan, we should make it come true really and always.【篇三】《汤姆叔叔的小屋》英文读后感Joy depicts the crisis of faith that overcomes Rabbi Banish of Komarov, who, having buried his four sons and two daughters. Only through the mercy of the God he has denied, manifest in a radiant vision of the dead Rebecca, his beloved youngest daughter, is the rabbi’s belief restored. The sense of wonder and the touch of heavenly joy that linger after the vision dissolves convinceRabbi Banish of the folly of judging God’s actions by human standards. The rabbi has interpreted the apparent tragedy of his children’s premature deaths as evidence of God’s alienation, forgetting that God is by definition inscrutable. That God’s purpose transcends man’s ability to comprehend it is made clear to the expiring rabbi when the family dead approach his deathbed with arms outstretched to enfold him among them. For theirs is the kingdom of heaven to which a loving God has called them; and their deaths have evidenced not God’s wrath but his grace.A version of Rabbi Banish’s deathbed revelation appears to Rabbi Nechemia in Something Is There. At twenty-seven he is already racked by the doubts that torment Rabbi Banish. So shaken is his belief in God that he deserts his rabbinical post in provincial Bechev for the flesh-posts of Warsaw. Although the prostitutes, unclean food, and shady business dealings which he witnesses there hold no attraction for the erstwhile rabbi, they intensify his revulsion from the world created by God and therefore his alienation from God himself. Unlike Rabbi Bainish, whose intimations of immortality and consequent rededication to God precede his radiant deathbed vision, Rabbi Nechemia cannot allay his doubtsuntil the very moment of death, when a light he never knew was there flickered in hid brain.While his dying words―something is there―resolve his crisis of faith, they come too late to affect the spiritual renewal attained by Rabbi Banish. No explicit promise of immortality, let along of salvation, attends Rabbi Nechemia’s vision. Perhaps grace is accorded Rabbi Banish because his doubt is triggered by devastating personal losses, and withheld from Rabbi Nechemia because his despair is the bitter fruit of idle speculation about the unknown. Whatever the reason, relatively few of Singer’s characters are granted at the moment of death the transcendent vision of unity between man and God that appears to Rabbi Banish in Joy. For the fortunate few, release from time into eternity is affected by a divine visitation which obliterates distinctions between past and present, living and dead.These kinds of characters are lost in their world because of the seducement of the material world. They doubt their formal faith and gradually give up what they believed. But after they have experienced so much hardship, they realize that they cannot adapt to the life of the outer world so they regress to the former life with formal faith. They realize theimportance of God and they begin to think seriously about the relationship between man and God. At last they find their right way of their life.。

汤姆叔叔的小屋英文读书报告Pursuit of Freedom in Uncle Tom’s CabinIntroductionUncle Tom’s cabin is a novel by the American female novelist Harriet Beecher Stowe published in 1852. In this novel, Mrs. Stowe criticized the slavery and expressed the compassion for the black slaves. Therefore, the novel had a great effect on Africa Americans and slavery in the US, and it also influenced the Civil War’s breaking out to some degree so that the President Lincoln called the author “the little lady who started the big war”. Mrs. Stowe, born in the State of Connecticut, was a teacher at Hartford Female Academy and she was also a pious Christian. As a Christian, she regarded slavery inhumane.A summary of the bookThe story took place in the 1850s. Uncle Tom, an honest slave on the Shelby plantation, is respected by his owners and all the slaves on this plantation. However, Tom has to be sold because Mr. Shelby, the owner of the plantation, is deeply in debt to a slaver called Haley. Along with T om, a boy called Harry, the child of his wife's servant Eliza, is to be sold as well. Though Tom is sorrowful, he still vows that he won’t run away. Because he knows if he did so, his master would be caught in debt so deeply that he would have to sell all the slaves.Just before Tom is taken away, Mrs. Shelby promises him that she will buy him back as soon as she can gather the funds. Eventually Tom was sold to a kindly master named Mr. St. Clare.Eliza, however, cannot bear to part with her son and escapes the night before he is to be taken from her. She escapes successfully and reaches a Quaker village where she is reunitedwith her husband George, who has also escaped from his master’s plantation. They spend a night in the family and set off to Canada. Though there are slave hunters hunting them and George also has a firefight with these hunters, they arrived in Canada successfully at last.Tom befriends his new master and especially his young daughter Eva, who shares Tom’s deep religious faith and devotion. Unfortunately, Eva becomes ill and is going to die. She accepts the news peacefully and tells her family and their servants that she is happy knowing that she is going to heaven, where such cruelty does not exist. St. Clare begins to confront the realization that he believes slavery is evil, and he promises Tom that he will give him freedom in the event of St. Clare’s death.Shortly after Eva dies, her father dies tragically in an accident, and Tom's fate is left entirely in the hands of Mrs. St. Clare. She decides to move back to her parents' estate and to sell all the slaves. Though she is asked to fulfill St. Clare's promise to give Tom his freedom, she refuses and Tom ends up in the hands of Simon Legree, an evil plantation owner. He forces his slaves to work hard and replaces them when they inevitably die just a few years later.On Legree's plantation, Tom meets two slaves: Emmeline and Cassy. Emmeline is a young mulatto woman sold to Legree at the same time as Tom, and she attempts to befriend the Cassy, who has suffered at the hands of Legree for several years. Legree soon comes to hate Tom after Tom refuses to beat and discipline the other slaves. Legree planned to turn Tom into an overseer, and when he realizes that Tom will not take it, he becomes angry and takes out his wrath on Tom. Tom becomes discouraged until he dreams of the heaven one night. So he decides it is his missionto suffer for the other slaves and he tries his best to help other slaves, which annoys Legree. And when Emmeline and Cassy escape, he demands that Tom tell him everything he knows. Tom admits that he knew their plans to escape and their whereabouts, but he refuses to disclose where they are. Legree beats Tom so severely that after a few days, he dies.Cassy and Emmeline eventually escape, and they happen to meet George Shelby, who is rooming next to a woman named Madame de Thoux. Through conversation, it is discovered that Eliza Harris is Cassy's daughter, and George Harris is Madame de Thoux's brother. Cassy and Madame de Thoux journey together to Canada, where they are reunited with their family. Madame de Thoux reveals that her husband has left her a large inheritance, and they all move to France together. The family then moves to Africa, and Cassy's long-lost son, who has been found, joins them finally and George Shelby gives all the servants on the Shelby farm their freedom, and tells them to be Christians and to think of Tom.Comments on the BookFrom this novel, I learned more about the American social situation before the Civil war, different opinions about the slavery, and people with different kinds of qualities.About the American social situation, I learned the plantation economy in southern part of the US in the 1950s, the slave’s living condition. About the different opinions about the slavery, I learned that some plantation owners who are pious Christian think trading slaves is wicked and doesn’t accord to the dogma, but they don’t oppose owning slaves and that others like slavers, conservative plantation owners regard slave as a kind of property or a tool to make money. About the people withdifferent kinds of qualities, I learned the honesty of Uncle T om, the braveness and brightness of George, the kindness of Eva, the cruelty of Legree. However, though the novel makes me learn a lot, what impress me most are different people’s pursuits of freedom and among these people pursuing freedom, the most typical people are Uncle T om and George. The two persons and their completely different fates can reflect two opposite choices when people pursue freedom.In the novel Uncle Tom’s cabin, both Uncle Tom and George are keen on freedom. But when the two men faces the fact that they will be sold, T om chooses to accept it and George chooses to escape. The two different ways imply two different choices to pursue freedom in essence and it’s the different choices that lead to the different results: Tom dies and George survives. From the results, we can learn clearly which choice is better and now I just want to analyze why they make different choices.The first reason, I think, is the different characters. Uncle Tom, as we know, is honest, kind, hard-working, tolerant and pious. He is loyal to his master and he believes if only he is honest and loyal to his master, he can get freedom from his master someday. But at last he fails and dies. George, a smart, ambitious and young man, doesn’t believe that plantation owners can give him freedom. He knows he must acquire freedom by himself. George is brave, confident and he has a spirit of adventure and revolution. Therefore, he gets freedom finally.The second reason, in my opinion, is the different experiences. Uncle Tom has a kind master: Mr. Shelby. On the Shelby plantation, he is well treated. He is loyal to his master and his master believes in him and promises that he will give Tom freedom. As a result, Tom believes it’s his honesty that helpshim get freedom and he never intends to escape. However, George, the young man, has a bad master. He works hard but his master treats him badly and he is often abused by his master. As a result, he doesn’t believe his master can give him freedom. So when he gets a chance to escape, he takes it without any hesitation.The third reason, as far as I am concerned, is the reorganization towards slave owner. Uncle Tom is a pious Christian and believes if only he does well, he will get a reward: freedom and he just needs to be patient because he has sin. So he pins his hope on slave owner who treat slaves as property, not human. George has suffered a lot from what the slave owner does. He doesn’t count on his master to give him freedom. He thinks however slave owners treat slaves, slaves are just a kind of property and slaves can’t get true freedom. So he decides to pursue freedom by himself.The three reasons above, I think, can explain why Uncle Tom and George can make different choices and have different results. And after analyzing the reasons of the two men’s different choices, my opinion about pursuit of freedom is to fight for, not to wait for and that we should pin our hope to ourselves, not others.“Life is dear, love is dearer. Both can be given up for freedom.”On the way of pursuing freedom, waiting just means perdition. Fighting can bring a new lease of life. Both Chinese Revolution and American Revolution can prove that it’s right to fight for freedom.On the way of pursuing freedom, I prefer to be George rather than Uncle T om.。
