From Uncle Tom's Movement to Arriving at the Plantation

Stowe is very affective when it comes to her conveying what she wants the characters to portray, but I one of the things that I really don't like about this is the way that she does this.  Between Augustine, Marie, and Opheilia the relationships seem to be very set in stone.  Marie just has this very bad character that she continues to focus on throughout the story to the poin that it makes everything that Marie will say seem very predictable.  I do find that Opheilia and Augustine are probably some of the two most interesting characters in the book.

 Opheilia is very well rounded when I think about her character.  She is a little bit more difficult to understand compared to the rest of the characters in the book. She seems to be very strict about how certain things are done but flexible if she desires to be. I find that Stowe is very intentional in her writing and I like that, but some of the things that I enjoy the most about books is learning about the characters, so reading Stowe was something that was a little bit difficult for me.  I like to be surprised and really I haven't found that.
