On the occasion of my 12th birthday, my mother gave me the 'Uncle Tom's Tent', one of the classic novels that I particularly enjoy. The story is about the life of a black man named Tom. He is such an honest, downright and kind-hearted man. However, his life is a series of misfortunes brought about by slavery. He had to leave away from his wife and children, through the hands of many traders, be beaten violently and become a spoking labor tool of sinister master. In the end, he was beaten to death in the South American cotton fields. In addition, the work also condemns the inhuman slavery, demand equal rights for black people. Reading the story, I am very emotive and sympathetic to the misfortune of not only Uncle Tom but all the blacks. This is a great and meaningful novel. I have introduced to some classmates and they all love it.
