Intimacy In Ishmael's 'Uncle Tommy'
R.I.P. Uncle tommy. Uncle tommy was a great man and an even greater father to many children and adopted children too. He took in Ishmael when he had nowhere left to go. Uncle tommy was Ishmael’s uncle before he tragically died due to a very bad illness. His family couldn't really help him because the rebels had taken over the village and made it hard to be outside of the house. That eventually caused Uncle tommy to pass on to a better place. He was very missed and you could tell he was by the way his wife lost her marbles once he was gone. This eventually caused Ishmael to feel unsafe and soon after fled from home to New York. Uncle tommy was a hard worker too. He struggled badly to support his family as one of Freetown’s carpenters.
