Answer:

Explanation:

Senator Bird is symbolic of Goodness because he ends up helping Eliza after seeing her side of things, which changes his viewpoint on the act that was just passed on run-away slaves. Mr. Bird was a supporter of the fugitive slave act, but after hearing Eliza's side of the story, he changed his viewpoint on it. Mr. Bird figured that it was adults who were being sold, not children being torn from their mothers and wives torn from husbands, so he thought that the fugitive slave act was ok. After changing his viewpoint he then decides to help Eliza escape to a much safer place for Eliza and her son.

¨"I say, wife, she'll have to get away from here, this very night. That

fellow will be down on the scent bright and early tomorrow morning: if

't was only the woman, she could lie quiet till it was over; but that

little chap can't be kept still by a troop of horse and foot, I'll

warrant me; he'll bring it all out, popping his head out of some window

or door. A pretty kettle of fish it would be for me, too, to be caught

with them both here, just now! No; they'll have to be got off tonight."

"Tonight! How is it possible?--where to?"

"Well, I know pretty well where to," said the senator, beginning to put

on his boots, with a reflective air; and, stopping when his leg was half

in, he embraced his knee with both hands, and seemed to go off in deep

meditation.

"It's a confounded awkward, ugly business," said he, at last, beginning

to tug at his boot-straps again, "and that's a fact!" After one boot

was fairly on, the senator sat with the other in his hand, profoundly

studying the figure of the carpet. "It will have to be done, though, for

aught I see,--hang it all!" and he drew the other boot anxiously on, and

looked out of the window.

Now, little Mrs. Bird was a discreet woman,--a woman who never in her

life said, "I told you so!" and, on the present occasion, though pretty

well aware of the shape her husband's meditations were taking, she very

prudently forbore to meddle with them, only sat very quietly in her

chair, and looked quite ready to hear her liege lord's intentions, when

he should think proper to utter them.

"You see," he said, "there's my old client, Van Trompe, has come over

from Kentucky, and set all his slaves free; and he has bought a place

seven miles up the creek, here, back in the woods, where nobody goes,

unless they go on purpose; and it's a place that isn't found in a hurry.

There she'd be safe enough; but the plague of the thing is, nobody could

drive a carriage there tonight, but _me_."

This section of the novel describes Mr. Birds' sudden change of heart because he now sees what horrible thing slavery is through Eliza's story. He explains that she can't be kept at their place, but Mr. Bird knows of a man who can help Eliza get to safety and freedom and that he would take her there that night because he knows Haley will be hot on Eliza's trail by early morning.

Ber [7]
For the answer to the question above, t<span>he quote is that we are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny." I think he means that our lives are unavoidably connected with each other -- like a network of threads that can't really be untied/unknotted, and that we share a common destiny, whatever it may be. As much as some people may want to believe and live their lives as if they are completely alone and independent of other people -- or as part of one group that can remain isolated from other groups -- he is pointing out that our fates are necessarily intertwined to some extent. He seems to be using a fabric metaphor-- a network of threads becomes a single garment which represents our collective destiny as a society. </span>
<span>You can kind of see an example of this in the economic situation in the world today. It is hard to find a place in the world today where individuals are not experiencing some effect of this economy, which is tied to gas prices, which is tied to food and commodity prices, which is tied to people paying their bills, which is tied to foreclosures, which is tied to big banks asset portfolio, which is tied to credit availability, which is tied to investor confidence, etc.... Each of us is affected somewhere along the line.</span>
