Uncle Tom’s Cabin
This assignment breaks down into 5 parts. After you have actually read the book, in a 1000 to 2500 word essay answer the following questions. Use your own words or put quotes in quotation marks. Word count is to give you an approximation of length. Do not feel that if you need 3000 words to make your points that it will be held against you. However, if you use only 400 words, it seems reasonable to conclude that you needed to do more.
You may use section headings to address these 5 points. In fact I prefer this option so much a will count off if you do not.
Who was the author? Note that almost always she is referred to as Harriett Beecher Stowe. How is that relevant? Hint who was her father.This should be approximately 250-400 words
Summerize the book. Again this should be approximately 250-400 words
What influence did the book have on the public in the North and Europe? What influence did it have in the South? This section may be 300-500 words.
Why did the book have such an impact on the public? Again this should be approximately 300-500 words.
Lastly what do you think about the book? Are the characters real to you? Is there a message to you? Remember please that this book has a historical setting and to reflect our moral values back into that setting is a distortion but to reflect upon the message of the book for the people of that time is I believe worthwhile. This should be 200 to 500 words.
You must include your word count for the essay and please bold it.
