Uncle Tom's Cabin: Fight Scene by Aaliyah Emmanuel https://padlet.com/aaliyah_emmanuel/e19rha4pjrit This padlet is describing the scene where Phineas, George, Eliza, etc. were on there way to Canada when a group of people from the South sent by Eliza's previous owner, came to try to capture them. This is my interpretation of that fight scene. en-us 2018-03-24 04:55:24 UTC 2018-04-27 03:39:09 UTC hello@padlet.com Phineas when he pushed Tom off of the chasm aaliyah_emmanuel https://padlet.com/aaliyah_emmanuel/e19rha4pjrit/wish/245694297 The scene where Phineas pushed Tom off of the chasm was amazing to me. I believe that it showed just how devoted he was to making sure that George and Eliza got to Canada safely. This shows a developing relationship between the characters. The book states,  "Friend," said Phineas, suddenly stepping to the front, and meeting him with a push from his long arms, "thee isn't wanted here." 
Down he fell into the chasm, crackling down among trees, bushes, logs, loose stones, till he lay bruised and groaning thirty feet below. The fall might have killed him, had it not been broken and moderated by his clothes catching in the branches of a large tree; but he came down with some force, however, -- more than was at all agreeable or convenient.(PG 300)" I thought it was interesting that even after George shot Tom in the side, he still continued toward them but if it wasn't for the quick thinking of Phineas, they probably wouldn't have made it to Canada. This actually brings up a great point to me which is that even though a White woman wrote a book about slavery and how bad it was, she still continued to make the White characters heroes who saved the day. I picked this gif because I think that this is probably what it might have looked like when he pushed Tom; emotion and all.

He had a very valid point but it fell on deaf ears. The book explains, "Be it as it may, it is certain that the attitude, eye, voice, manner, of the speaker for a moment struck the party below to silence. There is something in boldness and determination that for a time hushes even the rudest nature. Marks was the only one who remained wholly untouched. He was deliberately cocking his pistol, and, in the momentary silence that followed George's speech, he fired at him. (PG 299)" I imagined that this was Marks' face after he listened to George give that speech and still didn't care about what he was saying. Due to the fact that he had no interest in what George was talking about, I think that he would've given George a blank stare just like this gif and continued to cock his gun and shoot. ]]> 2018-03-24 05:53:54 UTC https://padlet.com/aaliyah_emmanuel/e19rha4pjrit/wish/245696468 George when he prepared to fight the men aaliyah_emmanuel https://padlet.com/aaliyah_emmanuel/e19rha4pjrit/wish/245696530 To begin, in this scene, George and his family are taken by Phineas through the woods to try to make their excape to Canada before the people who were sent to come capture them, actually find them. After traveling through the dark woods, they soon realize that the men are not far behind them. They soon hide in a chasm that has a opening where only one man can fit at a time so it would be easier to shoot any intruders. When the people who came to capture them, announced themselves, George, soon after, announced himself as well. The book states, "I am George Harris. A Mr. Harris, of Kentucky, did call me his property. But now I'm a free man, standing on God's free soil; and my wife and my child I claim as mine. Jim and his mother are here. We have arms to defend ourselves, and we mean to do it. You can come up, if you like; but the first one of you that comes within the range of our bullets is a dead man, and the next, and the next; 
and so on till the last.(PG 298)" This scene is very powerful because it shows that George was not afraid of the men and that he would do whatever he deemed necessary in order to protect his family. I picked this gif because the Rock is known for being very strong and George was urging the men to come and try him. Both the Rock and George were not afraid of their opponents and this what I figured he would look like in this scene.

In this scene in Uncle Tom's Cabin,  it shows how humane and morally righteous slaves were even towards the people who treated them the most inhumane. One reason why it was so interesting is because even though Tom was the very person who tried to capture George, Eliza, and their son in order to take them back to the south and sell them, Eliza still cared about his well being. The book states, "'I hope he's not dead" "O, I hope he isn't killed!" said Eliza, who, with all the party, stood watching the proceeding. 
 "Why not?" said Phineas; "serves him right.(PG 301)" It's amazing to me that she still cared about his well being even though he didn't care about hers. I picked this gif of Steve Harvey giving a confused face because I could only imagine what Phineas' face must've looked like after he had gone this far to help her and George but yet she still wanted to help the enemy. He must've been taken aback and very confused and I felt like this gif of Steve Harvey perfectly depicted that..
