要《汤姆叔叔的小屋》读后感
读国近代史后，我认识了一位了不起的美国总统就是奴隶制维护美国统一的一代伟人——。
但是大多数人肯定不知道，在林肯主张废除奴隶制的时候，还有另一股力量也在掀起美国废奴运动的高潮，它来自斯托夫人的一部书，一部反映黑奴制度的巨著——《汤姆叔叔的小屋》。
这本书犹如平地一声霹雳,震撼了美国社会。
书中为人正直、心地善良、笃信宗教的汤姆叔叔；有勇有谋、聪明好学的混血奴隶乔治；唯利是图、冷酷无情的奴隶贩子黑利；人性泯灭、天良丧尽的雷格里；有正义感、但随波逐流的圣克莱尔等栩栩如生的人物给我留下了深刻的印象。
当全文读完，我的心也为之阵阵震颤，泪水已镶嵌在了眼角，说真的，这种滋味和上次读《悲惨世界》时候的感觉是如此相似，是深深烙刻于心底的疼痛，不好受。
虽说结尾是快乐美好的，但我对主人公汤姆的去世感到无比伤感。
的确，黑奴的遭遇是多么悲惨。
文中描述了像烈格雷这种残暴凶恶的奴隶主，经常殴打黑奴，强迫黑奴做不愿做的事情。
也有运气好的，可能会遇到像圣克莱尔和小乔治这样宽容博爱的主人，但他们的身份仍然只是奴隶。
可悲啊
拥有白色皮肤的人为何心却狠得像黑色的恶魔
他们只知道自己是个人，需要他人的尊重，但却把黑人当作了一件任人买卖欺凌的商品。
为什么不过是肤色不一样，他们的命运就要有如此的天壤之别呢
黑人与白人到底存在什么样的差距，为何黑人就要成为白人的奴隶呢
从书中主人公汤姆——一个可敬的黑人身上，我丝毫没有看出白人与黑人的差距，反而看出了汤姆的吃苦耐劳，精明能干，可以说他比任何一个白人都能干。
同样是人，为什么白人就可以随意凌驾于黑人之上，白人有什么理由剥夺黑人的自由?总之我没有找到能证明这一切的理由。
相反我又一次从汤姆大叔身上看到了一些白人所没有的宽容、博爱的思想和一颗充满爱的心。
可见黑人与白人之间是平等的，没有低下和高尚之分。
就像法布尔曾在他的《昆虫记》里写到他对生命的看法，“万物都是平等的，不管它是多么微小，至少它是生命。
” 不知不觉又想起了林肯总统，那个曾经的鞋匠的儿子，当他当选美国总统的时候，那些自以为上流社会所谓优越的的人对他不屑一顾，鄙视他是一个鞋匠的儿子。
并且在他当上总统时，有人扔鞋子侮辱他，认为他不配，但林肯宽容大度，最终以自己的宽容与智慧赢得了大家的信任和爱戴。
不仅这样，林肯还解放了黑奴，揭露和控诉了蓄奴制的罪恶，而且为美国的发展做出了卓越的贡献。
由此可见，出身卑微的不一定低下，出身高贵不一定就高尚，从这儿就反映出人与人之间是平等的，这是亘古不变的真理。
无论你是什么肤色的人，无论你是什么出身，无论你是什么种族，都是一样的，在这大千世界中没有高贵和低下，没有最好和最差，因为人人都是平等的。
---------------------------------------------《汤姆叔叔的小屋》叙述的故事发生在奴隶社会。
故事的主角是一个名叫汤姆的壮年黑奴，他聪明、老实、虔诚、能干，但主人还是因为债台高筑，把他卖给了奴隶贩子黑利。
好景不长，汤姆的新主人不久便在一次意外事故中身亡。
于是，他又被卖到了凶残的种植园主雷格尔手里，最后惨死在他的毒打之下。
汤姆品德高尚、心地善良，最后依然落得一个悲惨的结局。
我有时在想，汤姆就像唐代梅妃江采萍一样是生错了朝代的：唐爱牡丹，宋爱梅，梅妃似乎更应该出生在几百年后的宋代。
可能汤姆也应该把自己出生的日子往后推些年，在奴隶制被废除之后，在那些被鄙视的黑奴们受到与他人平等的待遇之后。
奴隶们生来就不被当做人来看，通常是按照马匹的价格来衡量他们人身的价值
表面上，那些可怕的罪行都是残暴的奴隶主所为，但归根结底，最终导致一个个黑奴家破人亡的凶手，恐怕是早已被废除了的奴隶制度。
《汤姆叔叔的小屋》揭露了奴隶制度的黑暗与邪恶，许多像汤姆这样善良的人们都只能拥有一个悲惨的结局，可能汤姆也只是其中的一个例子罢了
就像书中圣·克莱尔对奥菲利亚说的那样：“这只是你从窗帘缝里看到的一个例子罢了。
” -------------------------------------《汤姆叔叔的小屋》通过对汤姆和乔治?哈里斯夫妇这两种不同性格黑奴的描述，告诉读者：听从奴隶主摆布的汤姆难逃死亡的命运，而敢于反抗、敢于斗争的乔治夫妇得到了新生。
这本书之所以令我感动，是因为它真实地描写出当时美国旧社会的黑奴悲惨况，故事中的汤姆叔叔无论身在何处、什么情况都非常乐于助人，而且汤姆叔叔除了乐于助人这个优点外，他还十分善良、忠诚、能干、精明……还任劳任恕地替谢尔比先生管理庄园。
还有伊丽莎，她为了自己的儿子哈里不被谢尔比先生买掉，只好连夜逃走。
不惜为了儿子选择了一条既遥远又艰辛的道路，天天都要担心受吓，并且还要逃避一路上奴隶主的疯狂追捕，况且丽莎的本性就是善良、胆小怕事，所以丽莎为了儿子将母爱发挥到了极点。
还有最值一提的善良、天真、纯洁，汤姆叔叔的好朋友吉琳。
吉琳她有着天使一般的美丽的脸庞、纯洁的心灵，能够不分彼此地，平等地对待每一个人，无论是白人、黑人、好人、坏人、或其他人，要是他们有困难或需要帮助，她就会尽自己的所能去帮助他们。
看了这本书后，我从汤姆叔叔身上看到了善良、能干、精明，还有吉琳平等对待每一个人和乐于助人的好品质，同时也看到了世界上的假丑恶。
对美国历史也有了更深的理解，原来世界不是到处阳光一片，还有很多的阴暗面，还需要我们不断的努力，只有这样，才能避免这样的悲剧在现代社会重演。
-------------------------------前些日子，我拜读了斯托夫人的成名之作《汤姆叔叔的小屋》。
它不仅向人们展示了一个感人泪下的故事，更是两个民族、两个地域之间的精神斗争。
一个，来自于异域的种族，他们的祖先生长于赤道烈日之下，从本土带来迥异专横的性格，并将其遗传给子孙；另一个，是一个文明而信奉基督的社会，有这所谓的绅士和上等血统，高声呼喊“仁义道德”，其实连他们所谓真正的基督徒也在干着摧毁他们圣经的事。
非洲，在人类早期蒙昧时代，开创世界文明和人类进步。
近几百年来，却倒在文明而信奉基督的人类脚下，流含流泪，徒劳地乞求怜悯。
在她宽大的臂膀里，曾经怀抱过最早的文明时代；如今，在她乌黑的大眼睛中，却透过无情铁蹄践踏的影子。
想想吧
那些可爱的孩子，一生下来就沦为奴隶，他们的一切只属于他们的主人，那些所谓主宰着他们命运的主人。
乌黑的眸子变得浑浊，忍受着主人的随意摆布，似乎生下来丑一点还幸运些，那样，或许就不会被努力贩子们看上，从而成为他们利益的牺牲品，但是，孩子丑了，主人就会像看待怪物一样看待他们，就会想方设法地把他们买了，不管怎样，都免不了一场骨肉分离，黑人的命运就是那样地悲惨。
而那些年轻的小伙子，也将为自己的身强力壮、机灵灵活而付出代价，被买到南方去，奴隶主们像野狗一样，吸蚀着他们的鲜血，知道生命的最后一刻。
人们像买家具或狗一样买他们，可能还不如那样珍惜和怜爱。
或许，有些人自认为已经领悟到了奴隶们的痛苦与所受的不公，他们根本不知道，自己其实已经习惯了有奴隶的日子，是啊，他们已经习惯了，习惯了对奴隶的呼风唤雨，习惯了对奴隶的掌控，一旦没有了奴隶他们就会像丢失了奶嘴的孩子，失去了允吸，也就失去了活力。
他们已经紧紧依靠与奴隶，是那种一旦不对他们进行残暴就会失去很多。
然而，这个世界上还是有真正心地善良的人。
小伊娃——她是个真正的天使，在她心里，上帝创造这个世界的时候，为了给予他们不同，将他们的皮肤划分成不同的颜色并放在不同的区域，人和人是平等的，人和人的灵魂更应该是平等。
她真正了解到黑人的痛、黑人的悲惨，甚至是那些他们自己都还没意识到的，小伊娃确实是个天使，一个美丽的天使。
她爱身边的一切，爱上帝，爱所有的人，她的心纯洁无杂质，她的心只懂得怎样去解救别人，上帝却亲手杀死了自己女儿，她终于无情地离开了这个需要她来解救的世界。
我们似乎应该想一想汤姆大叔的悲惨遭遇的原因。
每个人都有自己的灵魂和躯体，残酷的奴隶制社会就是要我们交出自己的躯体乃至灵魂，汤姆大叔宁肯自己的躯体受到残暴地折磨，也不愿像奴隶主屈服，交出自己的灵魂。
在我们的生命里，自己的灵魂是一定属于自己的。
灵魂，是我们的精神，是我们的意志，汤姆大叔的悲惨遭遇，或者在白人意义上的错，不就是没有拿出不属于别人而属于自己的东西吗
为什么不想想，抢或强占别人的东西是属于不道德的
不过，作为那所谓的征服者和狠心的主人，那个强势民族终于对广阔的非洲上的人民发了善心；人们已经意识到，对一切国家而言，保护弱小比欺凌弱小高尚得多。
感谢上帝，奴隶贸易终于在这个世界上寿终正寝了
------------------------------------- 最近，我读了斯陀夫人的《汤姆叔叔的小屋》。
其中，为人正直、心地善良、笃信宗教的汤姆叔叔；有勇有谋、聪明好学的混血奴隶乔治；唯利是图、冷酷无情的奴隶贩子黑利；人性泯灭、天良丧尽的雷格里；有正义感、但随波逐流的圣克莱尔等人物给我留下了深刻的印象。
但使我最难以忘怀的是聪明活泼但野性十足，后来被调教得自尊爱人得黑奴小姑娘托普西。
托普西是黑人里最黑得了，一双圆圆的明亮的眼睛像玻璃珠子一样闪闪发光，外貌有点怪，脸上的表情是精明与狡吉的奇妙组合，像个小妖精似的。
她爱偷东西，偷了之后还撒谎，摆出一副无辜的表情；她品行不端，对所有惹她的人实施报复，恶作剧；她会趁着主人出去，疯闹几个小时，把家里弄得乱七八糟。
她的主人想尽了一切办法惩罚她，教育她，试图改变她的不良习惯，但没有用，这只是因为没有爱
想想吧
这原本可爱的孩子，一生下来就沦为奴隶，她的一切只属于他们的主人，那些所谓主宰着她命运的主人。
她从小就在奴隶主的打骂中成长，令她养成了说谎、偷东西的坏习惯，把她原来那美好、纯洁的心灵玷污了。
在这种毫无尊严，经历着骨肉分离，整天遭受鞭打的情况下，怎么才能拥有高尚的品德和坚定的信仰呢
只有纯洁，美好，无私的爱才能拯救她的心灵
当天使般的伊娃对她说爱她的时候，托普西的眼睛里蒙上了泪水，她的心灵受到了一缕爱的阳光。
果然，托普西以后变好了，她努力争取关爱别人。
这是打骂，说教永远达不到的效果，充满爱的一句话超越了一切
这就是爱的力量
在我们的生活中，也有许多像托普西一样的孩子。
他们品行不良，没有爱心，不可理喻，那么千万不要厌恶他，用爱去理解，宽容，剥去绿色嫩芽外的一层枯黄的东西，用爱来感化麻木的心灵。
要永远记住：爱的力量是巨大的，至高无上的

《汤姆叔叔的小屋》的读后感英文
==============================《汤姆叔叔的小屋》的读后感（一）==============================Uncle Tom's cabin is frequently criticized by people who have never read the work, myself included. I decided I finally needed to read it and judge it for myself. And I have to say, that for all its shortcomings, it is really a remarkable book. The standout characteristics of this book are the narrative drive, the vivid characters, the sprawling cast, the several completely different worlds that were masterfully portrayed, and the strong female characters in the book. The portrayal of slavery and its effects on families and on individuals is gut-wrenching - when Uncle Tom has to leave his family, and when Eliza may lose little Harry, one feels utterly desolate.As for flaws, yes, Mrs. Stowe does sermonize a fair bit, and her sentences and pronounc. But in her time, she went far beyond the efforts of most of her contemporaries to both see and portray her African-American brothers and sisters are equal to her. The best way she did this was in her multi-dimensional portrayal of her Negro characters -- they are, in fact, more believable and more diverse than her white characters. Yes, at times her portrayal of Little Eva and Uncle Tom is overdone at times -- they are a little cardboard in places -- but both, Uncle Tom especially, are overall believable, and very inspiring. The rest of the Negro characters - George Harris, Eliza, Topsy, Cassie, Emmeline, Chloe, Jane and Sara, Mammy, Alphonse, Prue, and others, span the whole spectrum of humanity -- they are vivid and real.The comments of a previous reviewer that the book actually justifies slavery and that it shows that Christianity defends slavery are due to sloppy reading of the book. No one reading the book could possibly come to the conclusion that it does anything but condemn slavery in the strongest and most indubitable terms. This was the point of the book. The aside about capitalism was just that, an aside on the evils of capitalism. It did not and does not negate the attack on slavery. Secondly, another major point of the book is that TRUE Christianity does not and could not ever support slavery. Stowe points out the Biblical references used to claim that Christianity defended slavery merely to show how the Bible can be misused by those who wish to defend their own indefensible viewpoint. It's ridiculous to say that the book shows that Christianity supported slavery. It shows that some misguided preachers abused certain Bible passages and ignored other ones to support their view of slavery.==============================《汤姆叔叔的小屋》的读后感（二）==============================Uncle Tom's Cabin; or, Life Among the Lowly is an anti-slavery novel by American author Harriet Beecher Stowe. Published in 1852, the novel had a profound effect on attitudes toward African Americans and slavery in the United States, so much so in the latter case that the novel intensified the sectional conflict leading to the American Civil War.Stowe, a Connecticut-born teacher at the Hartford Female Academy and an active abolitionist, focused the novel on the character of Uncle Tom, a long-suffering Black slave around whom the stories of other characters—both fellow slaves and slave owners—revolve. The sentimental novel depicts the cruel reality of slavery while also asserting that Christian love can overcome something as destructive as enslavement of fellow human beings.Uncle Tom's Cabin was the best-selling novel of the 19th century (and the second best-selling book of that century, following the Bible) and is credited with helping fuel the abolitionist cause in the 1850s. In the first year after it was published, 300,000 copies of the book were sold in the United States alone. The book's impact was so great that when Abraham Lincoln met Stowe at the start of the American Civil War, Lincoln is often quoted as having declared, So this is the little lady who made this big war.The book, and even more the plays it inspired, also helped create a number of stereotypes about Blacks, many of which endure to this day. These include the affectionate, dark-skinned mammy; the Pickaninny stereotype of black children; and the Uncle Tom, or dutiful, long-suffering servant faithful to his white master or mistress. In recent years, the negative associations with Uncle Tom's Cabin have, to an extent, overshadowed the historical impact of the book as a vital antislavery tool.

《汤姆叔叔的小屋》的读后感
[《汤姆叔叔的小屋》的读后感]The Power of Uncle Tom’s Cabin ..My first reaction to this book is that it was based much more on religion than I had imagined it to be. As I expected, Stowes main purpose of the book was to nakedly expose the institution of slavery to America and the rest of the world with the hopes that something would be done about it. To achieve this purpose, she showed us individual instances of slavery in a country that prided itself on its Christianity and its laws protecting freedom. She showed us how absurd slavery is beneath the shadow of American laws and the shadow of the cross of Christ. I was also surprised at the various kinds of relationships between whites and blacks of the South. We learn that not all whites were bad and not all blacks were good, but that there were quite a mixture of characters and relationships. That was a strength of the book. Its not a melodrama, but shows an evil institution which allows both good and evil and all those in between to exist under it, and how this institution affects the individuals. Legrees plantation, for instance, corrupted anyone who came there. But the reader understands that it is the system that allows this which is the root of the problem, and that, by the way is a North\\\/South problem, not just a Southern problem. She specifically calls on the North at the end of the book to ask themselves if they can live with the institution of slavery in their country and still call themselves Christians. A wise move. One of the most memorble characters was, of course, Eva. Stowe was able to give her a true, simple, childs voice which spoke unadulterated truth about the relations and happenings around her: Poor old Prues child was all that she had,--and yet she had to hear it crying, and she couldnt help it! Papa, these poor creatures love their children as much as you do me. O! do something for them! Theres poor Mammy loves her children; ve seen her cry when she talked about them. And Tom loves his children; and its dreadful, papa, that such things are happening, all the time! You cant help but say, Oh, my god, shes right you know! Evas is a powerful voice in this book. But Evas Jesus-like gathering of the slaves before she died was a bit much in its reference to Jesus. How old was Eva? Certainly younger than to have the mature sense of death and consciousness of duty than most adults ever attain. Are these the words of a little kid: I sent for you all, my dear friends, said Eva, because I love you. I love you all; and I have something to say to you, which I want you always to remember . . . . I am going to leave you. In a few more weeks, you will see me no more-- The character Eva seemed to be an innocent child telling her family and the world about how she saw slavery which exposed a lot of its evils. But when she turned into a mini Jesus and preached to the slaves before her death as Jesus had preached the disciples before his death, I felt the author had given to too great of a jump into maturity to be believable, unless the short life of Eva was really supposed to be a irreal miracle occurance. Eva was powerful enough as a real character who looks at slavery from innocent eyes. Her transfiguration into a holy person at the end took some of her punch away. As a Jesus-character, Tom transcends the book as a Christian hero. An interesting study would be a comparison of Tom and Jesus. One direct parallel, for instance, is the direct temptation that Legree put upon Tom to break him and make him give up his religion for Legrees church. It parallels to the temptation of Jesus by Satan in the desert. An important question asked throughout the book was If we emancipate, are we willing to educate? In her essay at the end, Stowe chides those white Americans who feel they are doing the slaves a favor by sending them back to Africa so that they can live in the supposedly free country of Liberia. She directly asks the reader, Would you be willing to take a slave into your Christian home and educate him? This question went right into every household in the North. A short introduction at the beginning of my book asked the question whether or not it was good literary style for Stowe to talk directly to the reader in the book. I dont think Stowe was trying to a create literary work of art other than would serve her purpose of communicating to the reader what exactly slavery was in America at that time. She wrote the book so that she could talk directly to the reader. It may not be good literary style but it reminds the reader that this books for you. If you want to look at this book in terms of an interesting piece of literature outside its social and political context, I dont think you have much to look at. The story itself is not interesting (the escape plan of Cassy was the high point), its packed with religious dogma at every turn (borders on Puritan literature), and you dont see hardly any character development except perhaps for Augustine, but he is so wishy washy that his conversion right before his death doesnt give you any insights into his character or human nature. This book is simply expository: it uncovers the institution of slavery. This is what makes the book riveting to read. Stowe seems to have seen quite a number of individual incidents of slavery for her to be able to write powerful and moving scenes like this one in which the slave George gives Mr. Wilson, a former humane owner, the view of slavery in America from the slaves point of view. This speech by George was the most powerful in the book: See here, now, Mr. Wilson, said George, coming up and sitting himself determinately down in front of him; look at me, now. Dont I sit before you, every way, just as much a man as you are? Look at my face,--look at my body, and the young man drew himself up proudly; why am I not a man, as much as anybody? Well, Mr. Wilson, hear what I can tell you. I had a father--one of your Kentucky gentlemen--who didnt think enough of me to keep me from being sold with his dogs and horses, to satisy the estate, when he died. I saw my mother put up at sheriffs sale, with her seven children. They were sold before her eyes, one by one, all to different masters; and I was the youngest. She came and kneeled down before old Masr, and begged him to buy her with me, that she might have at least one child with her; and he kicked her away with his heavy boot. I saw him do it; and the last that I heard was her moans and screams, when I was tied to his horses neck, to be carried off to his place. Well, then? My master traded with one of the men, and bought my oldest sister. She was a pious, good girl,--a member of the Baptist Church,--and as handsome as my poor mother had been. She was well brought up, and had good manners. At first, I was glad she was bought, for I had one friend near me. I was soon sorry for it. Sir, I have stood at the door and heard her whipped, when it seemed as if every blow cut into my naked heart, and I couldnt do anything to help her; and she was whipped, sir, for wanting to live a decent Christian life, such as your laws give no slave girl a right to live; and at last I saw her chained with a traders gang, to be sent to market in Orleans,--sent there for nothing else but that,--and thats the last I know of her. Well, I grew up,--long years and years,--no father, no mother, no sister, not a living soul that cared for me more than a dog; nothing but whipping, scolding, starving. Why, sir, Ive been so hungry that I have been glad to take the bones they threw to their dogs; and yet, when I was a little fellow, and laid awake whole nights and cried, it wasnt the hunger, it wasnt the whipping, I cried for. No, sir; it was for my mother and my sisters.--It was because I handt a friend to love me on earth. I never knew what peace or comfort was. I never had a kind word spoken to me till I came to work in your factory. Mr. Wilson, you treated me well; you encouraged me to do well, and to learn to read and write, and to try to make something of myself; and God knows how grateful I am for it. Then, sir, I found my wife; youve seen her,--you know how beautiful she is. When I found she loved me, when I married her, I scarcely could believe I was alive, I was so happy; and, sir, she is as good as she is beautiful. But now what? Why, now comes my master, takes me right away from my work, and my friends, and all I like, and grinds me down into the very dirt! And why? Because, he says, I forgot who I was; he says, to teach me that I am only a nigger! After all, and last of all, he comes between me and my wife, and says I shall give her up, and live with another woman. And all this your laws give him power to do, in spite of God or man. Mr. Wilson, look at it! There isnt one of all these things, that have broken the hearts of my mother and my sister, and my wife and myself, but your laws allow, and give every man power to do in Kentucky, and none can say to him, nay! Do you call these the laws of my country? Sir, I havent any country, any more than I have any father. But Im going to have one. I dont want anything of your country, except to be let alone,--to go peaceably out of it; and when I get to Canada, where the laws will own me and protect me, that shall be my country, and its laws I will obey. But if any man tries to stop me, let him take care, for I am desperate. Ill fight for my liberty to the last breath I breathe. You say your fathers did it; if it was right for them, it is right for me! Powerful! The realization that the slaves are in a country which just recently declared itself free from oppression makes the system utterly absurd and contradictory. With the voice of Augustine, Stowe tells us what slavery is really: This cursed business, accursed of God and man, what is it? Strip it of all its ornament, run it down to the root and nucleus of the whole, and what is it? Why, because my brother Quashy is ignorant and weak, and I am intelligent and strong,--because I know how, and can do it,--therefore, I may steal all he has, keep it, and give him only such and so much as suits my fancy. Whatever is too hard, to dirty, to disagreeable, for me, I may set Quashy to doing. Because I dont like work, Quashy shall work. Because the sun burns me, Quashy shall stay in the sun. Quashy shall earn the money, and I will spend it. Quashy shall lie down in every puddle, that I may walk over dry-shod. Quashy shall do my will and not his, all the days of his mortal life, and have such chance of getting to heaven, at last as I find convenient. This I take to be about what slavery is. I defy anybody on earth to read our slave-cod, as it stands in our lawy-books, and make anything else of it. Talk of the abuses of slavery! Humbug! The thing itself is the essence of all abuse! In painting the United States as the land of freedom or Gods country, you cannot forget about slavery. What was it doing in the land of freedom? What was it doing in a country that prided itself in its application to the teachings of the Bible? Slaverys social and political ramifications reach us even today. It is in Americas history and its roots. Stowes Uncle Toms Cabin is a must read for Americans so that we do not forget.The Power of Uncle Tom’s Cabin Harriet Beecher Stowe’s novel, Uncle Tom’s Cabin, has had a tremendous impact on American culture, both then and now. It is still considered a controversial novel, and many secondary schools have banned it from their libraries. What makes it such a controversial novel? One reason would have been that the novel is full of melodrama, and many people considered it a caricature of the truth. Others said that she did not show the horror of slavery enough, that she showed the softer side of it throughout most of her novel. Regardless of the varying opinions of its readers, it is obvious that its impact was large. For instance many of the characters in the book have become the stereotypes of slavery in the South. An example of this is Uncle Tom himself, whose name was eventually degraded into a nickname for blacks who were too subservient to whites. He became the stereotype of the passive slave who would do anything his master told him, because it was his duty as a slave. However few remember how the strength of his faith was what allowed him to tolerate the horrors that were enacted upon him. Another example of the stereotyping of Stowe’s characters is Aunt Chloe, Uncle Tom’s wife, and her children. Aunt Chloe is an excellent example because she has become the “Aunt Jemima” stereotype. She had a “round, black, shining face” and wore a checkered headscarf, and she worked in the kitchen, took care of the kitchen, and basically ran the household. Not to mention for many years black children were still stereotyped as mischievous like Mose, Pete, and, later in the novel, Topsy. Even the slave owners and traders are stereotypes now. Mr. Shelby and his wife have become the “gentlemen and lady” slave holders, who see themselves as good Christian people and attempt to take good care of their slaves, but still don’t see black people as equal to whites. Simon Legree has become the stereotypical cruel master, who let his estate go to hell, but continued to work his slaves too hard and beat them senseless (or, in Tom’s and other’s cases, to death) when they did not behave as he thought they should. However there are other ways this novel has been influential to American culture. After its publishing it helped spread the ideas of the abolitionist movement. Though some thought the book was to soft, it still brought to light some of the horrors of slavery, and the hypocritical Christian ideology of the South. The fact that this novel is written using Christianity and what makes a “good” Christian is versus what makes a “bad,” or hypocritical, Christian, shows that the much of America has moved away from the Deist movement of the 18th century. It is a return to a more puritanical Christianity. For while God is still a more distant, and kinder, figure than his was in the Puritans’ world, he is once more involved in the daily lives of people. This novel shows the beginnings of what many of today’s churches believe that God is always present in the lives of his children and he helps people out in mysterious ways. An example of this in the novel is Eliza’s crossing of the Ohio River. Sam, one of the slaves who was “helping” Mr. Haley catch Eliza, told his Mrs. Shelby that it was only with God’s help that she could have made it across the river by jumping on the ice flows. Though it is a novel full of melodrama, it is also a moving novel that has had a profound effect on American culture. It is also a novel that has mirrored some of the changes in American culture, such as the slowly changing views of Christianity. The abolitionist movement, and those who the movement was trying to convince, profoundly felt the novel’s impact. Its message is still important, or there would not be arguments over whether the book should be required reading, or whether the book should be in the school libraries at all. This book, along with such novels as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, will always be important as long as there are people who believe that its message is not only irrelevant but that it should be banned from libraries, or even burned. And so Harriet Beecher Stowe has managed to influence American culture and society more than 100 years after Uncle Tom’s Cabin was published.from：雪岚岚 〔《汤姆叔叔的小屋》的读后感〕随文赠言：【这世上的一切都借希望而完成，农夫不会剥下一粒玉米，如果他不曾希望它长成种粒；单身汉不会娶妻，如果他不曾希望有孩子；商人也不会去工作，如果他不曾希望因此而有收益。
