《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。

我滑冰还有跳舞都听这个，，还有farawayfromhome这个可是世界上最好听的舞曲，，
表语和定语的区别 形容词与副词分别在什么情况作什么句子结构；顺便举个例句
表语就是能与系动词一起构成谓语的成分。
可以是形容词，动词不定式，也可以是从句。
系动词则分三大类：be动词，感官动词（smell,look,taste, feel,sound etc.）,和“变得。
。
。
”意的动词如get,become,turn,go 等。
例句：He is a student. His face turned red. The cake looks dilicious. 这三句中student, red 和dilicious 就是表语。
还有，My wish is to be a doctor. My suggestion is that you shoul go now. 这两句中，第一句，to be doctor 是表语，第二句，that 从句是表语。
宾语补足语则是对宾语的补充说明，例如： What you said made him angry. angry 就是个宾补，它补充说明宾语him的状态。
一 状语从句的种类 § 1状语从句的种类 用来修饰谓语动词、其它动词、定语、状语或整个句子的从句叫做状语从句。
状语从句可分为： 1.时间状语从句；(adverbial clause of time) 2.地点状语从句；(adverbial clause of place) 3.原因状语从句；(adverbial clause of cause) 4.条件状语从句；(adverbial clause of condition) 5.目的状语从句；(adverbial clause of purpose) 6.让步状语从句；(adverbial clause of concession) 7.比较状语从句；(adverbial clause of comparison) 8.程度状语从句；(adverbial clause of degree) 9.方式状语从句；(adverbial clause of manner) 10.结果状语从句。
(adverbial clause of result) §2状语从句的时态特点 一般情况下，时间和条件状语从句的谓语动词一般用“一般现在时”表示“一般将来时”，用“现在完成时”表示“将来完成时”。
例如： I will call you as soon as I arrive in Beijing. 我一到北京就给你打电话。
（这是由as soon as引导的时间状语从句，从句中的谓语动词arrive是一般现在时，表示一般将来时，决不可用will arrive） As soon as I have finished this work, I will go home. 我一完成此工作，就回家。
（从句中的谓语动词用现在完成时have finished，表示将来完成时,决不可用will have finished） If he comes back, please let me know.如果他回来了，请通知我。
（从句中的谓语动词用comes back,表示一般将来时，决不可用will come back） 二 时间状语从句 §3时间状语从句（adverbial clause of time） 1.由when, while, as引导的时间状语从句。
例如： When you think you know nothing, then you begin to know something.当你以为自己一无所知的时候，你就是在开始知道一些事物了。
When truth is buried under the ground it grows, it chokes, it gathers such an explosive force that on the day it bursts out , it blows up everything with it.当真理被埋在地下的时候，它在生长，它感到压抑，它蓄存着这么一种爆炸性力量，一旦冒出，它就会炸破一切
Strike while the iron is hot. 趁热打铁。
Will you watch my clothes while I have a swim. 我游泳的时候，请你照看一下我的衣服。
You can feel the air moving as your hand pushes through it. 当你的手在空气中挥动的时候，你就能感觉到空气在流动。
Our headmaster laughed as she spoke.我们的校长边谈边笑。
【区别】when, while和as的区别：when引导的从句的谓语动词可以是延续性的动词，又可以是瞬时动词。
并且when有时表示“就在那时”。
例如： When she came in, I stopped eating.她进来时，我在吃饭。
(瞬时动词) When I lived in the countryside, I used to carry some water for him.当的住在农村时，我常常为他担水。
（延续性的动词） We were about to leave when he came in.我们就要离开，就在那时他进来了。
While引导的从句的谓语动作必须是延续性的，并强调主句和从句的动作同时发生（或者相对应）。
并且while有时还可以表示对比。
例如： While my wife was reading the newspaper, I was watching TV. (was reading是延续性的动词，was reading和was watching同时发生) I like playing football while you like playing basketball.我喜欢踢足球，而你喜欢打篮球。
（对比） As表示“一边……一边”，as引导的动作是延续性的动作，一般用于主句和从句动作同时发生；as也可以强调“一先一后。
例如： We always sing as we walk.我们总是边走边唱。
（as表示“一边……一边”） As we was going out, it began to snow.当我们出门时，开始下雪了。
（as强调句中两个动作紧接着先后发生，而不强调开始下雪的特定时间） 2.由before和after引导的时间状语从句。
注意before引导的从句不再用否定式的谓语，并且当before引导的从句位于主句之后，有时译成“就，才”。
还要注意主句和从句之间的时间关系。
当主句用将来时，从句总是用现在时；如果before引导的从句谓语用的是过去时，则主句动词多用过去完成时，这样以便体现动作发生的先后。
After表示主句动作发生在从句动作之后。
主句和从句的动作的时间关系正好与before引导的从句相反。
例如： It will be four days before they come back. 他们要过四天才能回来。
Einstein almost knocked me down before he saw me.爱因斯坦几乎把我撞倒才看到我。
My father had left for Canada just before the letter arrived.我父亲恰好在信到之前去加拿大了。

After you think it over, please let me know what you decide.你仔细考虑过以后，告诉我你是怎样决定的。
After we had finished the work, we went home.完成工作之后，我们回家了。
（从句用过去完成时，主句用一般过去时） 3.由till或until引导的时间状语从句。
till和until一般情况下两者可以互换，但是在强调句型中多用until。
并且要注意的是：如果主句中的谓语动词是瞬时动词时，必须用否定形式；如果主句中的谓语动词是延续性动词时，用肯定或否定形式都可以，但表达的意思不同。
例如： I didn't go to bed until（till） my father came back.直到我父亲回来我才上床睡觉。
It was not until the meeting was over that he began to teach me English.直到散会之后他才开始教我英语。
I worked until he came back.我工作到他回来为止。
I didn't work until he came back.他回来我这才开始工作。
Please wait until I arrived.在我到达之前请等我。
4.由since引导的时间状语从句。
since引导的从句的谓语动词可以是延续性的动词，又可以是瞬时动词。
一般情况下，从句谓语动词用一般过去时，而主句的谓语动词用现在完成时。
但在It is ＋时间＋since从句的句型中，主句多用一般现在时。
例如： I have been in Beijing since you left. 自从你离开以来，我一直在北京了。
Where have you been since I last saw you? 自上次我和你见面以后，你到哪里去了
It is four years since my sister lived in Beijing. 我妹妹不在北京住有四年了。
It is five months since our boss was in Beijing.我们老板离开北京有五个月了。
5.由as soon as, immediately, directly, instantly, the moment, the instant, the minute, 等引导的时间状语从句。
这些连词都表示“一……就”。
例如： I will go there directly I have finished my breakfast. 吃完早饭，我立即到那里去。
The moment I heard the news, I hastened to the spot.我一听到消息，马上赶到了出事地点。
As soon as I reach Canada, I will ring you up. 我一到加拿大，就给你来电话。
【注意】hardly(scarcely, rarely)…when \\\/ before, no sooner…than相当于as soon as之意。
主句用过去完成时，从句用一般过去时。
当hardly, scarcely, rarely和no sooner位于句首时，主句应用倒装语序。
例如： He had no sooner arrived home than he was asked to start on another journey. 他刚到家，就被邀请开始另一旅程。
No sooner had the sun shown itself above the horizon than he got out of bed to commence work.太阳刚从地平线上升起，他就起床劳动去了。
Hardly had I sat down when he stepped in.我刚坐下，他就进来了。
He had hardly fallen asleep when he felt a soft touch on his shoulder.这个阿拉伯人刚要入睡就感到肩膀上被轻轻一触。
6.由by the time引导的时间状语从句。
注意时态的变化：在一般情况下，如果从句的谓语动词用一般过去时，主句的谓语动词用过去完成时；如果主句的谓语动词用一般现在时，主句的谓语动词用将来完成时。
例如： By the time you came back, I had finished this book.到你回来时，我已经写完这本书了。
By the time you come here tomorrow, I will have finished this work. 你明天来这儿的时候，我将已经完成此工作了。
7.由each time, every time和whenever引导的时间状语从句。
例如： Each time he came to Harbin, he would call on me. 他每次来哈尔滨，总是来看我。

You grow younger every time I see you. 每次遇到你，见你更年轻了。
8.由as long as和so long as引导的时间状语从句。
这两个连词表示“有多久……就多久”。
例如： You can go where you like as long as you get back before dark. 你可以随意到哪里去，只要在天黑以前回来就行。
I will fight against these conditions as long as there is a breath in my body! 只要我一息尚存，我就要反对这种境况。
三 地点状语从句 §4地点状语从句 (adverbial clause of place) 地点状语从句一般由连接副词where, wherever等引导，已经形成了固定的句型，例如： 句型1：Where＋地点从句，（there）＋主句。
【注意】此句型通常译成“哪里……哪里就……”；主句在从句后面时，there可用可不用；如果主句在从句的前面时，一般都不用there。
例如： Where there is no rain, farming is difficult or impossible.在没有雨水的地方，耕作是困难的，或根本不可能的。
They were good persons. Where they went, there they were warmly welcomed. 他们都是好人。
因此他们走到哪里都受到热烈欢迎。
You should have put the book where you found it. 你本来应该把书放回原来的地方。
Where the Communist Party of China goes, there the people are liberated.哪里有了中国共产党，哪里人民得解放。
句型2：Anywhere\\\/ wherever＋地点从句，＋主句。
【注意】anywhere本身是个副词，但是，常可以引导从句，相当于连词，意思相似于wherever, anywhere引导的从句可位于主句之前，也可以位于主句之后。
而wherever本身就是个连词，表示“在何处，无论何处”。
例如： Wherever the sea is , you will find seamen.有海就有海员。
