Answer: She sympathizes with the runaway slaves, convinced that it is her Christian duty to help them.

Explanation:

<em>Uncle Tom's Cabin</em> is an anti-slavery novel from 1852. It was written by Harriet Beecher Stowe and is believed to have strongly influenced popular attitudes towards slavery at the time it was written.

In the novel, Senator Bird participates in passing<em> the Fugitive Slave Act</em>, which states that it is a crime to help a runaway slave. His wife, Mrs. Bird, strongly opposes the act and tries to prove it is morally wrong. She claims that her husband should be ashamed because he supports the act, and is certain that she will not abide by it. Mrs. Bird believes that her Christian duty is to help anyone who is in a worse position. Senator and her clearly have different opinions on this subject. However, when the two runaways arrive at their property, both Mrs. Bird and her husband offer them security. They are given food and shelter. This demonstrates that Mrs. Bird significantly influenced her husband's sense of right and wrong - his compassion prevails.

Ludmilka [50]

Their identification is portrayed with "front-porch culture" the same case applies to their language. They go together hand in hand, as the way font porch represents the community and its life.
The language is different from white American, that is why it places the black's identification apart. Hurston alternates between Black English as well as sophisticated speech. The picture that Jane has two identities is enhanced. Since she is part of white, she had a good education, lived a good life, has a straight hair and she is capable of speaking of being sophisticated.
She relies on her dialect of Black English so as to identify with other black people who are in her community.
