I continued reading Uncle Tom's cabin which is getting more exciting every second. So far Uncle Tom is in good hands and lives with a little girl called Eva, where he was put to care for and ride horses, which wasn't a such a bad thing, because he didn't suffer, except that he missed his family deeply. He was well treated by his master however the mistress didn't have a really kind heart and always thought negative about things. She complained that Tom would get drunk and that he shouldn't be trusted because he was a nigger, which is what they called the Africans those days. Except that, Tom was in good condition.
Eliza and her son Harry were placed in a protected  home, however she was still worrying what would happen to her. She wanted to go to Canada where she would be safe, and would maybe meet her husband, George, who was also running away. This is how far I got and I hope that the story will have a nice ending, rather than a tragic one.
