Answer 1

The story of the Harris family as compared to the story of Uncle Tom, both of which are found within Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel titled "Uncle Tom's Cabin," are very different when looked at side by side. George Harris, when he is introduced to the reader, is immediately portrayed as a parallel hero to Uncle Tom, wherein George lives his life under the ownership of a different slaveowner, and he would, by extension, receive much different treatment than Uncle Tom because of their differing slaveowners.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The narrator introduces George Harris, a parallel hero to Uncle Tom. George's wife, Eliza, is, like Tom, a slave of the Shelby family. But George lives enslaved to a different master. Throughout the novel, the experiences of George counter those of Tom.
