Detailed explanation-1: -Tom, on a Mississippi river boat, meets a little white girl named Eva St. Clare, is touched by her beauty and gravity, and rescues her from drowning.
Detailed explanation-2: -Summary: Chapter XIV He sits up in a nook in the cotton bales, reading his Bible. While there, Tom meets a little girl named Eva St. Clare.
Detailed explanation-3: -Eva’s death isn’t a martyrdom; she dies of natural causes, and Stowe gives us the sense that she’s gently being taken up to Heaven. Nevertheless, she’s so much of a Christ figure that we can’t help feeling her death foreshadows Tom’s.
Detailed explanation-4: -Little Eva, byname of Evangeline St. Clare, fictional character, the frail, angelic daughter of a Southern slave owner who befriends the black slave Uncle Tom, in Uncle Tom’s Cabin (1851–52) by Harriet Beecher Stowe.
Detailed explanation-5: -The girl wanders all over the boat and talks with the slaves. Tom sees her as angelic. She asks Tom where he is going, and when he tells her he will be sold, she says she will ask her father to buy him. Soon afterward, Eva falls into the water, and Tom rescues her.
