Uncle Tom's Cabin

Submitted by Marina Gallo on Sun, 03/02/2008 - 7:03pm.

On a different note, Uncle Tom's Cabin is not something I would read on my own. I don't really enjoy the story and when we were questioned about it in class I really got to thinking. As I said in class, I don't like the way they make the slaves sound and it is hard to read and understand. 

In terms of how long a book should be around before it can be considered a classic seems irrelevant. One could always compare it to previous classics and also try to guess as to whether is will be relatable to generations to come.
