Questions
Part 1
Although Uncle Tom’s Cabin is clearly an abolitionist text, it shows the horrors of slavery and the degrading conditions of African-Americans in the nineteenth century. The dialogue in the play has many insulting epithets directed at the slaves, and used by them as well, which reveal the roots of racism today. For most of us, this is a painful reading. So, my question this week is: why should a play like this be on a course about Western drama/theatre taught in Canada? What can it hope to teach us both formally and content-wise?
Part 2
What identifies Uncle Tom’s Cabin as a melodrama? What are the situations and characters that show “unambiguous moral contrasts” (Norton Anthology 56)? How is the excessive sentimentality demonstrated? Please cite from the dialogue and/or stage directions to support your answer.

Sample Solution
have a daily turnover of over 4 trillion U.S. dollars. These estimations make the exchange rate market the largest asset class in trade volume. The exchange value of a currency affects every part of a nation’s economy. Giving its importance and significance to international trade and national growth, many attempts have been made to predict future exchange rates by economic players in order to make profits or design economic policies. Many Economic models have been developed from the start of the Smithsonian agreement to try and predict exchange rate movements. These models such as the structural models that use economic indicators like interest rates, trade balance were designed in a bid to outperform the random walk movement of exchange rates. The efficiency of these models had been an issue of great debate in academic circles but the work of Meese and Rogoff (1983) in their seminar paper drew an empirical conclusion on the structural models and the random walk. Using out of sample data they showed that no structural models can outperform the random walk models in predicting exchange rates. In their research Meese and Rogoff used different models like the Flexible-price Monetary model, the sticky-price monetary and the Dornbusch-Frankel model to forecast a twelve-month horizon for the dollar/pound, dollar/mark, dollar/yen and trade-weighted averages.>
