Have you ever heard of two murders happening in a cabin and five people surviving? Well, unfortunately for Mackenzie, she's been in that situation. This week, I’ve been reading a Natasha Preston book called The Cabin, and I’m currently on page 179/317. Mackenzie and her friends are going to a weekend party in a cabin. They got there and they were having a good time, drinking and doing things. They all ended up hanging out for a while and drinking a lot and after a long, crazy, and fun night, they all headed to bed and decided to call it a night. All was good until they woke up to two of their friends dead on the floor. She calls the cops, they investigate and she ends up investigating too and fighting out a lot of things and figures out a lot …show more content…

For example, she tried to find out who killed her two friends and ended up finding out about some secret relationships happening in the friend group. She ends up finding blood on a soda can next to the cabin in a little shed, and the blood ends up being Aaron's. However, even after she finds out some lies and secrets, she still thinks that her friends aren’t capable of killing Courtney and Josh. She is in denial of the fact that one of her friends is the killer. However, she realizes that Blake, (the person she is fond of) could be the killer because there was no forced entry into the house and she thinks she knows her friends better than she knows him. In this book, she continues to contemplate who’s the killer as she finds out more secrets everyone has been keeping from her. Following all the information she has and is looking for, she realizes that even though she hopes it’s not one of her friends, a part of her is wondering after all the secrets they kept if they could keep a huge one like this. (Preston 151). Recognizing that this is a huge mess, Mackenzie and Black continue to look and search for clues as to who the killer might

One major life lesson I acquired from this unit is that emotions can sometimes get in the way and play a big part in the decisions people make. One case was when Harriet Tubman finally escaped slavery, but instead of fleeing farther away, she went back to the South to help others, including her family, escape via the Underground Railroad (WebQuest #3 - Slave Resistance). So someone, who had just barely gotten a taste of freedom herself, risked everything she had just worked hard for by going back to the South to save others. She could have just walked away and not looked back, but she knew what slavery was like and decided to help everyone still stuck in the system. Another case was when Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote a book called “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” to portray what slavery was actually like (WebQuest #4).

The novel follows the journeys of the main characters and how they coped with their struggles by having faith in God and were tested to see if they would give up on Him. The story portrays what life was like for slaves in the mid-1800’s and expose the evils of slavery even in its best-case scenarios. Stowe wanted to persuade her readers, specifically Northerners, that slavery was unchristian, evil and intolerable in a civil society.

Slavery is one of the many flaws that makeup the “dark side” of America’s history. Starting in 1526, 12.5 million people in Africa were uprooted and shipped across the Atlantic‒‒in a very barbaric manner‒‒to the Americas. Upon arrival they were sold and enslaved, as if pieces of property, to endure a lifetime of pain, suffering and humiliation caused by white slave owners. The struggle for freedom by African Americans lasted a long 245 years, until 1865 when slavery was abolished. This brutal past that blacks faced was not easily forgotten, as it was depicted in American fiction during the Age of Realism .
