Uncle Tom’s Cabin by Harriet Beecher

Write several paragraphs in which you discuss the author’s use of irony and tone to express her negative feelings about slavery and people who own, buy, or sell slaves. Begin with a brief thesis paragraph in which you state your purpose. Continue with two or three paragraphs in which you support your thesis. Finish with a brief concluding paragraph where you state the implications of your thesis or reaffirm it.
