Uncle Tom's Cabin
Puan vermedi
 Tom Uncle’s Cabin was written in 1850 by Harriet Beecher Stowe and was published in 1852. This book articulates nineteenth-century America's shameful attitude to slavery, the horrors of slavery, its contradictions to human nature, its moral and religious fallacy.  The author tackles slavery as a problem for whites and prioritizes the suffering and hardship suffered from blacks. The author reflects slaves, especially Uncle Tom, as moral, gentle, and faithful people. In the nineteenth century of America, slavery, just because the whites wanted it, separated the mother from her offspring, the child from her mother, the wives from each other, and more than that, snatched away from the hearts the of faith. White people oppressed, despised and tortured the black people without being aware that black people were human-like white people, without being aware that they had feelings and thoughts like them, without being aware that their lives were lives. So much so that even black people don’t think they are the same! Uncle Tom's kindness, his devotion to the owner, made the owner love him. However, he was forced to sell him and a child slave to cover his debts. After Uncle Tom changed two owners after him, he was flogged and killed for helping two Negroes to be freed. The son of the first owner found Uncle Tom, as he had previously promised Aunt Chloe (Uncle Tom's wife), but was able to retrieve his dead body. Kneeled on the grave of his poor friend and said these sentences; “Witness eternal God! Oh witness, that from this hour, I will do what one man can to drive out this curse of slavery from my land.” From these sentences, we can understand that thanks to Uncle Tom the other slaves will break out of in the book. “Return, ye ransomed sinners, home.” “One thing more,”

3/5 Stars (%66/100) I'm seeing a pattern and find it very annoying. The Demon King is not dead, of course, (what a surprise everyone) and now possesses Zeldris. Meliodas and Elizabeth fight him alone for a while while the Sins fight an Indura and its offspring (the scene with Escanor was amazing btw). Ban gets his Sacred Treasure after 300+ chapters. The pattern was Meliodas trying to do things alone and the Sins joining and saying "captain don't ignore us we're here too." This happened so many times and for the Sins to be able to keep up with Meliodas (who is too op), they all get power-ups. It was okay for a couple times but now I'm like uuggghh again...

In the "ideal" world into which Jonas was born, everybody has sensibly agreed that well-matched married couples will raise exactly two offspring, one boy and one girl. These children's adolescent sexual impulses will be stifled with specially prescribed drugs; at age 12 they will receive an appropriate career assignment, sensibly chosen by the community's Elders. This is a world in which the old live in group homes and are "released"--to great celebration--at the proper time; the few infants who do not develop according to schedule are also "released," but with no fanfare. Lowry's development of this civilization is so deft that her readers, like the community's citizens, will be easily seduced by the chimera of this ordered, pain-free society. Until the time that Jonah begins training for his job assignment--the rigorous and prestigious position of Receiver of Memory--he, too, is a complacent model citizen. But as his near-mystical training progresses, and he is weighed down and enriched with society's collective memories of a world as stimulating as it was flawed, Jonas grows increasingly aware of the hypocrisy that rules his world.
