Bella Garcia-Uncle Tom' Cabin

There were many important scenes throughout the book that really brought out the book and its popularity. There are three specific scenes that I think are the main scenes that put the book together. The first scene is at the beginning of the book when Mr. Shelby and Mr. Haley are discussing the trade of Uncle Tom and Harry. After this Eliza escapes, which is a big turning point in the story. Before she escapes she warns Uncle Tom that he has been sold. The next morning when they discover she has escaped, the trader immediately goes out to look for her with two other slaves. They spot her and try to run after her, but she somehow manages to cross the Ohio River in an intense scene. Another important scene is when Uncle Tom rescues Eva from drowning. After that she tells Uncle Tom that her father will purchase him, which he does. That's really where the friendship between Eva and Uncle Tom begins, which completely changes Uncle Tom's path of slavery. The final important scene is when Mr. Legree demands answer to the whereabouts of Cassy and Emmeline after their escape. When Tom refuses to tell him,  Legree beats him so bad that Tom dies. Even though his death was inevitable, it still came as a shock to me because I thought he was going to die peacefully.
