= Prologue=

//Question #1:// No, I wouldn't like to live forever. And here are my reasons. First, If you are sick, you can't die. When you are sick very badly and you feel very painful, I could promise you that you will rather die. Just think about how you will feel. you are just lying down in the bed doing nothing at all, just resting. Very boring and lifeless. And it's not just resting you can't even breathe well! You will have the most painfull days for REST OF YOUR LIFE! Second, if you live for ever and your family dies, and your friends die, and even your teacher dies, you will be very lonley. These days, I am very fun to live because I have my best friend with me every where, and Ms. Bedard, who is nice and always tries to try her best on teaching us.And my family is with me, which who will do anything for me if it could make me better. I am really pleased with my best friend, my teacher, and my parents. But if they are all dead, ...... The living shouldn't be living. And that's why I will rather live like a regular person. =D

//Question #2:// In the prologue, the author describes three things that happen on one day and seem unrelated. Here are the three things. 1→ "At dawn, Mae Tuck set out on her horse for the wood at the edge of the village of Treegap. She was going there as she does once in a 10 years to meet her sons, Miles and Jesse." 2→""At noontime, Winnie Foster, whose family owned the Treegap wood, lost her patience at last and deecided to think about running away." 3→"And at sunset a stranger appered at the Fosters' gate. He was looking for someone, but he didn't say who.

P.S: This author's writing style is good. I like it. It seems like a good book!

=Chapeter 1= //Question #1://Babbitt gives her views about land ownership in this chapter. Explain the author's views and then express your feelings about land ownership. Well,I agree with landowner ship. because the world is built for humans to live, and if only humans can take good care of it, then it will be eternal. And you pay alot of money to buy a land, you pay enough money for it, and if you can't own a land, there wouldn't be a single apartment or houses you could live in, and that will make all the people the NOMADS. And I think that you have to AT LEAST give some humans live, right?RIGHT?(The author's view in the landowner ship is strange, odd, weird.)

//Question#2: Although we are not told, suggest reasons why it may have been a disaster if the spring h//If people knowed about the spring down there in treegap, They'd all come running like pigs to slops.If people knowed about the spring down there in treegap, They'd all come running like pigs to slops.If people knowed about the spring down there in treegap, They'd all come running like pigs to slops.If people knowed about the spring down there in treegap, They'd all come running like pigs to slops.If people knowed about the spring down there in treegap, They'd all come running like pigs to slops.//ad been discovered by people. Well, There are 2 reasons why it will be the disaster. First, Humans' are natural to make money and destroy natural reasources to make room to build buildings for comfortableness. Second, since it's natural that humans cut down trees and stuff to build a building, when they cut down trees, they will make the animals have no space to live AT ALL the nature will be used for spring hotel.(probably) And that will not be very good for animals.//

=Chapter 2,3=

If I could refresh my life again, I will first be born in the U.S, California. Well, in california, it will have a lot more things I could do there. In the weekends, I could go over to my cousin's house and play. And also we have nice, balmy whether there. And there are many more amusement parks- and more, more rollercoasters. It will be nice if we could always go out and play in the balmy whether, swimming. Secondly, I will change my name. because some of my friends call me 'gustin' which makes me really annoying. And they always calls me Mr.PPPPArk! like that! it's really annoying and I hate it.Maybee I could change my name to Max or something. Third, I will like to have sibilings. I am very jealous of people who has siblings, they are really not board, and they are just really joyfull all the time. but I, don't have any siblings so my parents play with me..(believe it or not) but I really appreciate my parents playing with me, but it will be better to play with my siblings. My parents are grown ups, and they doesn't know anything about games. but If I have a sibling, I will be able to play 2 player games with them, and I could always talk about games. It will be so cool! Just imagining it makes me happy.

= = =Chapter 4= = =
 * 1) 1=Winnie was trying to catch the firefly when the stranger approaches the Foster gate.
 * 2) 2=Winnie's grandmother came down to the foster gate to see who Winnie was talking with.
 * 3) 3= Winnie and grandmother has diffrent views about the music. Grandma thinks it's comming from the elves, and Winnie thinks it's comming from the melody box.
 * 4) 4= The stranger with the yellow suit seems so far so good. I think he might be the person who could liveforever, who is looking for the other people who is eternal. I thought that because it looked as if he knew the song which grandma said it was comming from the elves. I think that he will be like kind of like a maincharacter. because knowing that he knew the song grand ma said it was comming from the elves, he seemes to be interesting, and I think in next chapter, it will talk about him. but I suddenly have a feeling that he's a wicked man- I don't know why, but I just have a feeling :P

= =

=chapter 5=

In this chapter, Jesse didn't let Winnie to drink the water. Well, If I were him, I'll do the same thing.beacuse I know that it isn't good to live forever, and I wouldn't want to make ANOTHER person like me, who is very painfull. And if Winnie becomes eternal, than she might tell everyone about the spring, and everyone will come and drink the spring, and sometime, it will be gone. And everybody will be ALL PAINFULL, BORING, yeah. And if a criminal drinks it, and becomes eternal, he will go anywhere and steal money, kill people, and even cops try to kill him by electronic chair or anything, he wouldn't die!

( In the dirty-water reason- I wouldn't. because It might be full of bugs and little bit of dirt there. Ah, It will be definitly dirty.. And I would'nt like to drink it. And they doesn't know what's in that water. There might be a very bad vectaria in there. Why does Winnie have to drink it?) = =

Chapter 6
//Question #1=//

I think that winnie didn't shout to the stranger because she thought that the kidnapperes are supposed to have long mustaches, and get her in the bag or something, but she didn't see any guys with mustaches, and she wasn't in the bag at all. And she thinks Jesse is a nice guy, and mae Tuck looks like a good person too. And they were pleading her to come with them, not threatning her. I think that's why she didn't let out the scream. And If I were the kidnapper, I will say "Shut up you little __" or some curse words on Winnie - If I were the kidnapper just to make her quiet. And If I were Winnie, no, I wouldn't have because the kidnappers or the "TUCKS" were pretty nice to her, and once again, they were pleading, not cursing.

//Question #2//__

//"...though her heart was pounding and **her backbone felt like a pipe full of cold running water**__, her head was fiercely calm."__//
__Babbitt uses Simile in this quote because she is saying like, or as to compare one thing to another. I think that the author was trying to describe sore from the horse back(?) maybee or she was really scared, and AHH! I can't really describe the feeling. It's just like feeling weird, and scary, and sad at the sametime. And very dumbfounded, also, because she had never been kidnapped before, and she was really, once again, dumbfounded. The author used this type of figurative language so far. There are many, but I will write 2 of them. 1= We started back the way we came, just wandering.We were like gypsies(pg.39) It means that they didn't have any where to go, so they discribed there selves as gypsies.__ 2=The boy lifted a final stone and Winnie saw a low spurt of water, arching up and returning, __//**like**//__ a fountain. (pg 26) It means that the water gushed out, from the spring, out and in, out and in. = =

=Chapter 7=

//Question #1-// The setting of Tuck Everlasting is during end of 1800s through middle of 1900s (?) because I think that the cars are invented in some time between 1950-1980. And there are no cars there. There are only horses. And I could draw a picture of a peaceful woods and a nice house wiith nice paintings, A road that kind of make me feel lazy and relaxing, and very sunny, A house that has a fence around the house _ which makes you feel kind of weird, and generally I could paint a picture of a woods and a road, always sunny and hot, and a house that is very proud of it self _ Kind of like a country side (?) possibly peaceful, like birds chirping.

//Question #2-// =//"'Pa thinks it's something left over from-well, from some other plan for the way the world should be," said Jesse. 'Some plan that didn't work out too good...'" What does Jesse mean? What could this 'plan' have been?//=

I think that Jesse means that his dad thinks that humans shouldn't be eternal, and it is from the other plan for the way the world should be_ like eternal. And I don't know why but I just kind of think that god made a way of life that is totally diffrent from now just in case when Earth gets demolished (?) well, It's kind of like a riddle.And I think the god checked if it worked, and it didn't work out well, as I described in chapter5, criminals not dieing and stuff. And god left it at the secret place in the woods, that no body can reach, just to keep it as a secret (?) yeah. I think that's it. :)

=Chatper 8= =__//Question # 1://__ At the end of the chapter we learn that someone has overheard the Tuck's secret. Who was it that overheard the secret? How have the actions of this character created suspense, or tension, in the plot (throughout the story)? Give specific examples from the story so far.=

At the end of the chapter, we learn that someone has overheard the Tuck's secret. And that's the yellow suit guy. And he showed a lot of acts that showed tension in the story of Tuck Everlasting. Those are some examples. First, at the chapter 4, the man talks about the song that Winnie's grand ma said it was from the elves. He was very anxious and eager to talk about the song when her grandmother and Winnie started heading back home. He looked very interested and stiff. Secondly, at the chapter 4, he was standing infront of foster gate, just standing there until the moonlight came. And usually, people just leave when people just ignore them. but he just stood there, thinking, probably. And what possibly will he be thinking about?The song. Thirdly, When the dark came and he started heading back home, he whistled the song, softly. And people DOES whistle about the favorite song, and I do, and he was whistling about that song, and which means that he was very interested in that song. ( just my thinking =D) Finally, When he was about to head back home, the author described his fingers as long and graceful in the moonlight. Why did the author do that? It's just weird. And I think there was some reasons that author put in that word, to describe something wrong with that people, kind of giving clue(?). P.S: I really think that his clothes is really weird, too. YELLO SUIT? eww.... that's just wicked. I will rather wear a red suit! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

=chapter 9=

I think the reason why Tucks used some bad grammars through out the chapter is because that the Tuck familydidn't want to show up to others, they just wanted to live quietly. And they also lived for 110 years, and I think they didn't contact with others that much, and they just lived quietly, and I think that grammer was a kind of a speaking style at old days.

=Chapter 10= =__Question # 1:__ How does Babbitt describe the Tuck home? How does that differ from Winnie's home? Your home? Write a complete paragraph. Please incorporate some quotes from the book.=

Babbitt describes the Tuck's house by dishes stacked in pretty dangerous in various shapes, and some worn out sofas.And she also describes about bedrooms = where a vast and tipsy brass bed took up most of the space, but there was room beside it for the washstand with the lonely mirror, and opposite its foot __a cavernous oak wardrobe__ from which leaked the faint smell of camphor. (pg. 51) And It's really different from Winnie's home becuase Winnie's house is very clean - we know it by the author saying that the house is proud of it self - and well painted and nice furnitures. If I were Winnie, It will be very hard to live in different enviornment. And my house is an apartment, and the cleaning ladies always shines the floor and sruff, so it's really clean. Thus, my dad really likes cleaning, so he does the dishes, and he always takes things where it should be. And we also have a cleaing lady, and she always shines the bathroon, windows, and floors. And I constantly clean my room- believe it or not, so our house, is pretty much, clean.

P.S = I will be never able to sleep in that much enviornment change. I don't know, but I think it's my instinct. I am very sensitive where I am, so if I go camping, I often stay up all night. And so then I understand Winnie's feelings.

=Chapter 11-12=

__//Question # 1//: On page 59, what does Tuck mean when he says, "I got a feeling this whole thing is going to come apart like wet bread."__

I think that means that there plan is not going to workout and able to get the plan demolished, like comming apart like a wet bread. And also tuck means that they will be busted. I think that author is trying to say that it would be a disaster if people knew about the spring. - [If people knowed about the spring down there in treegap, They'd all come running like pigs to slops.] (I'm not sooo sure)

__//Question #2//: There are SOOOO many examples of figurative language in Chapter 12. Please find 5. Write the quote, the page number, the type of figurative language, and an explanation of what the author is trying to say.__

There are many examples of fugurative language in chapter 12. Here are the 5 examples

1.Metapore= pg.60 The sky was a ragged blaze of red and pink and orange,....... And the author's trying to say that the sky looked very pretty, with many colors, and I think it's a scene of sunset, becuase usually in sunsets, the sky IS very colorful.

2.personification=pg.61 ....when the bullfrog spoke again. Author is saying that the bullfrog made out a sound.

3.Simile=pg.64 ....We just are, we just be, like rocks beside a road. Author is saying that the tucks were just there, not really living, just existing. And maybe just like eternal.

4.Simile=pg.64 .....If people knowed about the spring down there in treegap, They'd all come running like pigs to slops. Author is saying that people will be so interested, they will dart to the spring right away after they hear about the spring.

5.Simile= pg.63 ....just go out, like the flame of the candle. Author is saying that she will be dead very easily like the flame of the candle going off quickly.

=Chapter 13,14= =__Question # 1:__ "We ain't part of the wheel no more." "If I knowed how to climb back on the wheel, I'd do it in a minute." "We just **are**, we just **be**, like rocks beside the road." What are Tuck's (Angus') feelings towards eternal life? What does he mean by the third quote from above? Compare his feelings to those of the other Tucks' (Miles, Jesse, and Mae).=

In Tuck Everlasting, Tuck's feelings toward the eternal life is sad, and serious. (solemn, rather :P) I think the quote no.3 is saying that they were nothing more than a rock, getting ignored, and just existing. but if you are not eternal, you are on a wheel, a LIFE wheel, and you won't be like tucks, - eventually, rocks. Well, Mae's feeling about eternal is that it's not good, sad and solemn, also. And Miles, I think he is sad, too. because just imagine him losing his family, getting insulted by people. but JESSE, he think's it's pretty cool. becuase he told Winnie when she is 17, drink the spring and let's take a trip together. =__Question #2:__ Imagine that the Tucks are everlasting and still wandering the earth. Write a description of them if they came into your town this year. Describe where you might see them, what they would be doing, and how you would recognize them.=

If Tucks were everlasting and still wandering the earth and they are actually in my town, I think I will reconize them by Jesse. because when Winnie saw Jesse the first time, she lost her mind. Well, fell in love- rather. And I think he WAS quite handsome in the book. becuase those days, there were no plastic surgery. And another way I will reconize them is by their house, in the deep woods. Another way I could reconize them is very simple. Look for the solem grown man and a woman. In MY town, It's not boring. I mean, when I go out to go to school, If I look out side of my car's window, there are alot of nice people, and they look all relaxed. And when EVER I go out, there are many english people out there, too. And at night, some teenagers roam around, just hanging out. So it will be easy to find the Tucks because of Angus and Mae's solemn face.

=Chapter 15= //__Question #1:__// What do we learn about the man in the yellow suit? Give at least two examples from this chapter that show what kind of person he really is.

We learn that the man in the yellowsuit has no manners, and he thinks he's the best. We can tell that by looking at his actions. Here are the examples. First, when he went in side the foster's house, he didn't push the doorbell or knock or anything. He just goes in, like a robber. If somebody saw the action, they would think he's the criminals, not the Tucks. Second, When he talked to the Fosters, he seemed like as if he did a nice job, and If I wasn't living, then your daughter may be killed. Well, I know that it is a nice job, but he don't have to say it in that, un- mannered way.

__//Question #2://__

The guy in the yellow suit made a deal of the forest and Winnie, and obviously, he was aiming for the spring.

//__Question#3:__//

I think the reason why that babitt didn't include the dialog to the Posters is because it's obvious what they will say, I mean, the daughter is kidnapped. What will they say? Probably, Yes, I will make a deal with you. In the entire world, where would be a parent that wouldn't sacrefice them selves to the child.?

=chapter 16=

//__Question#1:__// In this chapter, the constable talks about the gallows. I think that Babbit made constable talk about that is because she wanted to tell that Tucks will be in trouble soon, And she is giving us the hint that Tucks may be hanged.And obviously, they won't die.

=Chapter 17= __//Question #1://__ The similar thing about Tuck and Miles's talking was that it was both about-or rathar related to the eternalness. But the diffent thing is that Miles were talking about what happened to the family, and what he was called. And Tuck was talking about how painful and bad being eternal is. //__quesion #2:__// Miles doesn't let his own family know about the spring because It would be wicked if the kids were near age as Miles, And that didn't seem right. And also, his pa, Angus, thought that few people knew about the spring, and he didn't want to make spring in danger by letting more people know about it. And If I were Miles, I would do the exact same thing as Miles. Because I agree with Angus. because the spring is huge, huge thing that might, well, will, cause a big attention to everyone.And the TUCKS know that it's not that good to be eternal, and they doesn't want another person to be like them. And we never know the future. Just like this. Suppose that I told Philip my secret. Well, I'm believing my old friend, but guess what. Sometimes, friends tell **their friends.** So the secret can go out easily. Well, once, I told my secret to someone, and guess what. EVERYONE knew my secret the next day. What happened was my friend told his friend, and my friend's friend told his friend, and on and on. And this weird guy told one girl, and she told EVERY girl my secret. Heh, heh. And now, I don't tell my secrets to anyone. -_-; So then if I where Miles, I wouldn't tell anyone because once again, NOBODY knows the future.

=Chapter 22-23=

//__Question #1:__// The plan to free Mae is very depending on Miles.Since Miles has done blacksmith for a while, he could outscrew the nails that is on the window, which is on the Mae's cell.At night, Miles will go and unscrew the nails in the window, and Mae will come out. And the worsest part, Winnie will go in there and try to be as fat as Mae, and try to make them some time. Well, I like this plan, BEFORE the Winnie part. It's quite simple, just unscrewing the nails, and it can also happen very fast, so It's a good plan. But if Winnie goes in, SHE's in trouble, too. And she didn't do anything bad, and that just doesn't seem right. Yes, I know that she valenteered, but helping a criminal get out of jail is a huge, huge, crime, too. I feel bad about the Tucks, but I can't believe that they actually let Winnie in trouble to save Mae.

//__Question #2:__//

Babitt shows 2 emotions about Winnie on chapter 23. Here are the 2 emotions. 1--....And Winnie found her self her self rocking in to the rhythem- forward, backward, forward, backward,back, tick,tock,tic,toc,tic.....(Page 117) If you are looking at the clock, you are very nervous. I mean, If you are nervous, your teeth start to chatter, and it seems suddenly cold. And if you want to calm your self down, you will look at the clock for no reason. 2-....And Winnie found her self her self rocking in to the rhythem- forward, backward, forward, backward,back, tick,tock,tic,toc,tic.....(Page 117) If you are following to the rhythm of clock, then you are either very nervous or impatient. Like when you have a buisness meeting and the salesman doesn't show up, It will show a lot of impatience on the dealer's face.

The time I felt nervous and impatient at the same time is when I took the test to SCAT. Well, many people did that test, including Joseph, Philip, Jasmine Lee, and me. I admit that I'm not that good in English. I'm from the korean school, so I'm not really confident with my English skills. And SCAT test, we take 2 subjects. Math and English. I am actually confident in math, but not english. So I knew that I will pass the Math subject. And after I took this test, I realized that Philip and Joseph had studied for 2 years! And I did for 2 months.-_-; And I heard many phone calls over my mom, saying that Philip, Joseph had passed both. I was very nervous that time, like if both of them pass both subjects, I will be the kid who is embarassed. but I knew that I got a bad score, since after the test, the students started to match answers. BUT I was actually impatient for the result becuase we never know the future. I don't know why but I gave up, and I even thought that I wasn't studying type. But 2 weeks later, my Mom got a E-mail saying that I passed both! I was pretty happy. I thought I was lucky, but my mom said there is no luck. I was very pleased with the result. And that was the happiest event I ever had.

=Chapter 24-Epilogue=

//__Question #1=__// At first, the weather is just telling that storms will come, and the winds blow softly, not wildely. And it doesn't rain, either. Well, at the end, the wind blows hard, and the lightning comes, and it's pretty much, strong storm

=__//Question 2. How is the weather in this chapter connected to the major events in the chapter? Be specific and use examples from the book as// proof__=

The weather is connected to the major events in the chapter. First of all, the major event is the prison break. Well, preason break is a bad, tired, bleak thing. And the weather discribes the major event. I think if I were in that scene, I mean, If I was Winnie and that young, I will be just scared and go to home again. When I was her age, I wasn't really adventurous. I just stayed at home playing computers. I never ever liked playing in the storm. Here are some quotes.

1=....Rain blew into her face, but at the next flash of lightning....And before the tunder followed, in a pause while wind and rain held back for one brief moment, she thought she heard, fading in the distance...... 2= When the thunder came, it tore the sky apart with its roar.... ( If the thunder is loud enough to tore apart the sky, [even though it's an expression] that means that the thunder was very, VERY loud.)

=//__Question #3__. In the epilogue we learn that the spring was destroyed. How do you think Mae and Tuck feel about that? How do you feel about the spring being destroyed?//=

In the epilogue, we learn that the spring has been demolished. I think that Mae and Tuck will feel very relieved, since they were very worried if some people will get to know about the spring. I think that they will think kind of like 'Yes! now that the spring is gone, nobody will notice it, and no body will feel sorrow like me'

I feel relieved that the spring has been destroyed. because as I have said, I don't like living forever. At first, it really sounds fun, but if you know what REALLY happens, you will be sorry. :) And I didn't want other people knowing that, and making themselves painful. And if the spring got known by people, they will sell it, and the rich people will buy it because they think that it's good at the first. And after they drinks it, once again, they will be sorry. :) And when they try to go and say something to the seller, if the seller didn't drink some, the seller will be dead, and they will have no one or nothing to blame on. I think that without the spring, world is peaceful.

1. List three **__major__** differences between the book and the movie.
I think that the major differences between the book and the movie were- when the Tucks kidnaped Winnie, in the book, there were Miles, Jesse, and Mae.But in the movie, only Miles took her with the horse.

And another major difference is that when the Tucks try to break Mae out of jail, the breaking-way was different. In the book, Miles unscrews the nails and Mae comes out. But in the movie, Miles and Tuck wear clothes like suspicious man, acting if they were trying to catch Winnie- who was telling the guard to save him. And guess what. Miles and Jesse just stood up after getting shot by the shot gun and the guard ran away. That's totally different.

And the last major difference is that in the book, Winnie is 10years old- and she is turning to 11. And Jesse is 17. But in the movie, I'm not sure if Winnie was 17 or not, but she totally wasn't 11years old. And Jesse was 17years old-well, at least he looked like it.

2. Why do you think the movie had these differences? (Be specific.)
I think that movie had these differences because they wanted to make the movie more interesting.

I think that the director made Winnie's age similar to Jesse's because they wanted to show some love and make it more fun and interesting. I know this because in this drama-which I am watching, has made the queen same age as the king, even though the queen was 13years older than the king.

I think director made the prison breaking way different because he or she wanted to make it more funny and adicting. I knew that since when we were watching the movie in the PAC, everyone laughed when Jesse and Miles got alive again and the guard got freaking out and ran away.

So what I am basicly want to say is to make the movie more interesting.

3. Which version (the book or the movie) did you like better and why?
I think that the book was better because the book held the specific things, and it was more realistic. And in the movie, we could see that the director rushed the movie- for example in the book, the book held the intire chapter about Angus and Winnie's talk in the pond. But in the movie, it showed it for like 2minutes.-_-;; And in the movie, I admit that it was more funny in the prison-break. But it can't happen. Because the Tucks despretly want to keep their secret to them selves about the spring, but if they want to do it so desprertly that they want to break Mae from the prison, why would Jesse and Miles act if they were not-dieing? I think that the jail guard will probably tell all the constables and the villagers and the secret may be found in one day.
