My sister Wendy tagged me with this topic. I am supposed to grab the book closest to me and write the 5th sentence on the 123rd page. The book is Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe.
"Look at my face, - look at my hands, - look at my body," and the young man drew himself up proudly; "why am I not a man, as much as anybody?"
Ok, so this book was given to me to read by my Mom. It is one of her favorite books. I have picked it up and started it 3 times now and have not even made it to the 123rd page! But I really liked this sentence as it says a lot about the theme of the book (as far as I can tell!) It is the story about a slave and his life as he is sold and mistreated. Now that I have found this sentence, I want to start, and more importantly, finish reading this book!
I tag Brenna, Melanie and Carrie!

Mom and Amy keep telling me that Uncle Tom's Cabin is a "life changing" book. I started it once, but couldn't get into it. I will have to try again. Let me know what you think.
