Harriet Beecher Stowe uses a writing style that was fitting for the time period that this story is set in. She writes using a particular language for each racial group. One of the main examples of her style is when she writes from a black person's view compared to a white person's view. She uses quotes from each view to show these differences such as when Tom was talking to the white son of his master, George. "And now Mas'r George, ye must be a good boy; 'member how many hearts is sot on ye. Don't be gettin' into any of them foolish ways boys has of gettin' too big to mind their mothers." George says in return, "No, indeed Uncle Tom, you always give me good advice." The way that the blacks of that time, especially the slaves, speak shows that they use a lot of slang terms such as "ye" instead of "you". Stowe also shows that they have a way of shortening words by leaving out letters and pronouncing things incorrectly such as "gettin'" and "'member". Then, she follows these with the way that the white people talked at that time which is very different then the blacks. They use very proper English and perfect grammar. This way of comparing the two shows the isses of that time with race and how the blacks were thought of to be lower and less educated then the whites. This style of writing provides us with a better picture of how the slaves were thought of and gives us a stronger understanding of the story itself.
