Uncle Tom's Cabin 2

I must comment on John Bird. He is one of my favorite characters in the whole book and one of the most developed within such a short time. He is one of the major proponents of the Fugitive Law Act (at least in this book) and admittingly feels uncomfortable actually obeying the law. When brought face to face with his own morality, he can't follow what he has spouted in the Senete and just told everyone what they should be doing. But he does do what is right. And even suggests they give Harry their dead son's clothes. I can think of no sweeter offer. This chapter tells of the changes a person can go through to do the right thing when faced head on with a life or death situation.
