= =  =__Mock Trial (Q & A):__ = Not really. Actually, I was Lee (the plaintiff) and I wanted all my $500 back for the damage he caused, but I only got $250 back for my precious garden... :( It felt unfair because the opposing party said frustrating one-word answers the made me so angry! I felt very mature and adult-like to be a person really in court (even if it's a mock trial). If I were to change the trial, I would ask some more powerful questions that would make the opposing party awestruck (or in another spicy word, stumped). It is important to examine and understand all points of view before making a decision because if you don't do this, then the trial will become unfair, and you will only listen to yourself and think that the opposing party is all wrong...
 * 1. Do you think the trial and the outcome (result) were fair?**
 * 2. How did you feel when the opposing party explained his/her point of view?**
 * 3. How did playing your role make you feel?**
 * 4. How would you change the trial if you could?**
 * 5. Why is it important to examine and understand all points of view before making a decision?**

=__PoV (Point of View) Homework:__ =
 * Song #1.** This song is really annoying and it makes me be lazy because of the slow tempo and melody. Also, the guy's voice is just so...I'm not sure how to put it, but it really bugs me!!!
 * Song #2.** I absolutely positively love this song because personally, I like rock, and also, I like loud music that is in rock style. It makes me want to get up, and play a loud instrument (such as a drum) and match the awesome fast beat and rhythm. I feel very hyper and active when I hear this song.
 * Song #3.** This song is very calming for me because the singing and the orchestra playing are all soft and not that loud as song 2.
 * Song #4.** This song makes me feel...weird. It's kind of similar to song #1. I don't really like it because of the same reason...
 * Song #5.** This particular song makes me wanna (sorry...I know it's want to, I just wrote it the cool, slang way) stand up and wrap myself to the rhythm. I feel like a DJ when I hear this song (You wanna piece of me?!?)
 * Song #6.** The last song reminds me of my home in California where whenever I went to a cafe or some kind of fancy place, there was that kind of music. It makes me feel at my real place in this whole wide world: home.

=__Tuck Everlasting Movie and Book Comparison Homework:__ = 1. When the man in the yellow suit came to get Winnie, he came with Winnie's father and a lot of other men instead of just him and the constable. 2. The plan to get Mae and Tuck out of jail is completely different from the book. 3. Both Mae and Tuck were in jail instead of just Mae herself.
 * Question #1.** Three major differences:
 * Question #2.** I think the movie had these differences because the director wanted to let people who have never read the book feel more sad and to make the story more spiced up for first timers than the book.
 * Question #3.** I liked the movie better because I could actually see the characters' emotions really expressed well (for example, Miles crying when telling his sad story). However, the good part about the book is that I could imagine my own picture of this book in my head.

=__Tuck Everlasting Chapters 25 and Epilogue Homework:__ =
 * Question #1.** I think Natalie Babbit is trying to tell us that the top of the live long year (August) is slowly coming to an end and it it slowly becoming winter (the hot and muggy season has ended.)
 * Question #2.** I think Mae and Tuck feel glad that the spring was destroyed because if everyone knew about the spring, as Tuck said, the life cycle would get destroyed. I personally feel sad that the spring was destroyed because I want to live forever (even though the life cycle will be ruined) (sorry for being greedy...)
 * Question #3.** I personally view an epilogue as a chapter that tells us what happened after the story ends and the problem is solved. I think Babbit made an epilogue to give us final closing remarks and to give us more details to what happened to the setting and the characters (it's so sad that Winnie dies...) :(

=__Tuck Everlasting Chapter 24 Homework:__ =
 * Question #1.** The weather is going from dark to rainy to terribly stormy.
 * Question #2.** When the weather is stormy and there is lightning, Miles seizes that opportunity to pull out the frame of the jail window/ bars. He pulls out the window frame when the lightning strikes because it is loud and the constable couldn't possibly hear the sound of the frame being pulled out.

=__Tuck Everlasting Chapter 23 Homework:__ =
 * Question #1.** Winnie feels excited and thick with guilt at the same time. It says on page 118, "Beneath her excitement, she was thick with guilt. For the second time in three short days - though they seemed many more than that - she was about to do something which she knew would be forbidden.
 * Question #2.** As for the second question, I have experienced and felt something similar to this when I was little. I took a spelling test and I got a lot wrong. First of all, I was confused about why I got that score, and secondly, I was worried and scared at the same time because if my mom saw my score, she would punish/ scold me for sure!!!

=__Tuck Everlasting Chapters 21 and 22 Homework:__ = Dear Winnie, Howdy! You're probably wondering who I am so I'll tell you. My name is Hans Son. Remember me? I knocked on your door the other day to invite you to come play with us (of course, it's not real)!!! I'm just here and sending you this letter to give you some advice. First off, I think you should start by helping the Tucks get Mae out of jail. I have no idea how, but you must rescue her at all costs. After all, she risked her life and struck the man in the yellow suit!!! Then, after all that is cleared up, you should consider (actually, you have to) say thanks to all the Tucks because they all put theirselves last for you. Finally, this is not that important, but you should think about the deal with Jesse. Maybe, you two can be a good couple (Just Maybe!!!)! That's all for now! Catch you later!!! Sincerely, Hans Son P.S. People call me Hands-Pants or Hans Olo, but my real name is Hans. So please don't call me that. Thanks... :)
 * Question #1.** Below is my letter to Winnie.
 * Question #2.** First of all, the plan is to sneak Mae out of jail by having Miles take out the whole frame of the w\indow in the jail cell, and Mae can come out. Winnie says she wants to help too, and Winnie agrees that she will go in and pretend to be Mae. I think it's a good plan except for the part of Winnie taking the place of Mae. Isn't that risky? What if Winnie goes to the gallows? AHHHHHH!!! No way! If that happens, it's going to be the saddest day of my life!!!

=__Tuck Everlasting Chapters 19 and 20 Homework:__ =
 * Question #1.** I am not on the man in the yellow suit's side because he is so mean and all he wants is his own benefit: to make a lot of money and live happily ever after. Nuh-Uh...That's not going to happen. Way to go Mae!!!
 * Question #2.** Tuck feels entranced and if I was Tuck in that situation, I would feel exactly the same way: very shocked and my brain running 10,000 miles a minute...Wow...I can't even imagine... Also, If I were Tuck in this situation, I would want to be the man in the yellow suit because Tuck desperately wants to die.

=__Tuck Everlasting Chapter 18 Homework:__ = I think that since Winnie is closely attached to the Tucks now, she is going to protect the Tucks and be on their side rather than sticking up for the man in the yellow suit.

=__Tuck Everlasting Chapter 17 Homework:__ =
 * Question 1a.** It is similar because Angus and Miles both talk about the spring and living forever.
 * Question 1b.** It is different because Tuck was talking about the wheel and how he wants to get back back on it. Miles was basically telling the same emotions, but he told a different story about he and his family a long long time ago.
 * Question 2.** It is because Angus said that the fewer the people know about the spring, the better. Also, Miles thought it would just be plain confusing because her wife would be more than 40 by then, and the children would be the same age as Miles (their dad!!!)!

=__Tuck Everlasting Chapter 16 Homework:__ = It could be possible that Natalie Babbit is giving us a clue that the constable is going to hang the Tucks (even though I already read the book.).

=<span style="COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f2dd3a">__Tuck Everlasting Chapter 15 Homework:__ =
 * Question #1.** The man in the yellow suit is a very nasty and curt man. One of the examples are on page 74, when he says,"There's just no telling what illiterates like that might do." He lied to them about the Tucks!!! Also, on page 75, it says,"Done and done..." before the Foster family even said anything!!!! Arggh! He makes me sooooo mad!!! :(
 * Question #2.** The man in the yellow suit wants to trade and have Treegap woods so that he could have the spring and make a lot of money and become rich!!! (the man in the yellow suit = meanie-bobini-slovini)
 * Question #3.** I think Babbit did this to make the impression of the man in the yellow suit seem meaner!!!

=<span style="COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f2dd3a">__Tuck Everlasting Chapter 14 Homework:__ = I think Winnie is confused because the Tucks are bad and they are kidnappers...but at the same time, they are nice and they care for Winnie!!!

=<span style="COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f2dd3a">__Tuck Everlasting Chapter 13 Homework:__ = I think the man in the yellow suit stole the Tuck's horse because he wanted to test if the horse was real or it could be because he wants to find the spring and drink some of the water himself fast so he could have the power of living forever.

=<span style="COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f2dd3a">__Tuck Everlasting Chapter 12 Homework:__ = Tuck wants to get back onto the wheel. Everything in the wheel keeps moving on...but the Tucks don't. I think that's why Tuck is sad and I think that's why he desperately wants to get back on the wheel.

=<span style="COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f2dd3a">__Tuck Everlasting Chapter 11 Homework:__ = For chapter eleven, I chose letter **B.** to explain. For the quote, "I never thought we'd come to the place where we'd be scaring children.", I think that Angus Tuck means that he never thought that he'd com to the situation where he had to kidnap a little girl and talk to her seriously. After all, Angus Tuck is a nice person and he could think that he scared a child (Winnie) out of her wits.

=<span style="COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f2dd3a">__Tuck Everlasting Chapter 10 Homework:__ = I think that the Tucks are cursed because if they have the trait of living forever for the rest of their lives, then they will have no friends and everyone will think that they are obnoxiously abnormal. Adding to what I just said, it describes in the book that the Tuck family can't stay in one single place for a long/ permanent time.

=<span style="COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f2dd3a">__Tuck Everlasting Chapter 9 Homework:__ = I think the Tucks talk like this because the setting of this book is like...oh, maybe about 100 years at least from now in the past. I think that's why they talk in this different English-some people call it old English

=<span style="COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f2dd3a">__Tuck Everlasting Chapter 8 Homework:__ = First of all, the guy that overhears the Tucks and Winnie is the man in the yellow suit. I found out that in each exciting and fun filled scene where usually the Tucks are doing something interesting (for example, sharing their secret or kidnapping Winnie), the man in the yellow suit is right there lurking in the shadows and seeing and hearing everything. To expand on the details, when the Tucks were telling their incredible story to Winnie, he (the man in the yellow suit) was listening to everything including the part about immortal life and the bubbling spring. Also, when the Tucks were exiting the woods with Winnie on the horse, he saw them fly by (I think that's why he followed the Tucks and Winnie: because he was suspicious about the girl that just went riding with the Tucks. I think that he said to himself, "Wait a minute...Wasn't that girl in the touch me not cottage with her mom, dad, and her grandma???").

=<span style="COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f2dd3a">__Tuck Everlasting Chapter 7 Homework:__ = For the quote, //"'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...'",// I think that means that the otherworld was planning something different than us...like immortal life (what I mean by the otherworld is a different race from humans like mutants or aliens or who knows what)! Adding on to what I just said, I think the aliens or the mutants or whatever they might be made a weird device that gives off immortal life and they just put a disguise over it - the shape of a bubbling spring. However, their EVIL plan apparently failed as Jesse said and only the Tucks fell for it. That's why the Tucks are explaining to Winnie that she should not tell anyone about the spring. Because if she does, then everyone will fall into the trap that the who knows what has laid out for them (the innocent humans!)!!!

=<span style="COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f2dd3a">__Tuck Everlasting Chapter 6 Homework:__ =
 * Part #1.** For the quote, //"...though her heart was pounding and **her backbone felt like a pipe full of cold running water**, her head was fiercely calm.",// Natalie Babbit used a simile to connect a backbone to a pipe full of running water. Also, she connected the two objects with like, so that could be another proof that the figurative language being used is a similie (even though not all sentences containing like is a similie). As for the meaning, it doesn't mean that she had a pipe of cold water running down her spine! I think it just means that it sent shivers down her spine or it could mean that she was cold. I only found 1 example. Sorry. Anyway, the one I found was, "//...her throat closed and her mouth went as dry as paper."// on page 34. I think Natalie Babbit is telling us that she was very stunned and surprised to suddenly get kidnapped. That's why I think she used paper as an example.
 * Part #2.** As Natalie Babbit told us, I think she lost her chance because her thoughts couldn't decide what to do in a flash. If I was Winnie, I would have done the first and natural thing that most people do when they are in danger. Scream for help.

=<span style="COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f2dd3a">__Tuck Everlasting Chapter 5 Homework:__ = Touch/ Feel-On page 23, Natalie Babbit describes a moist morning in the forest. Meanwhile, the air outside of the forest is **hot** and burning! Sight-On page 24, the author describes the forest with all kinds of beautiful shades of **greens**. The forest's flowers that Winnie doesn't know are described as the colors **white and pale blue.** Sound-On page 28, the author describes Jesse laughing. He **laughed** when Winnie asked him if he was married.

=<span style="COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f2dd3a">__Tuck Everlasting Chapters 2,3,4 Homework:__ = For chapters 2,3, and 4, I have noticed that they have one main thing in common with the prologue. The thing is that the prolouge is like the introducer, and chapters 2, 3, and 4 are all describing the prolouge. In the prologue, Natalie Babbit tells us that there are 3 main events. Now, in chapters 2, 3, and 4, they are slowly (very slowly!) beginning to come together with more details about each event. As for the organization, I think that Natalie Babbit purposely gave __**'hints at what's to come'**__ and a lot of __**'dialouge'**__, because it definitely hooks readers (didn't it hook you?)! I think Babbit tried to hook us in the first two chapters, and then start describing to reel us in. I think that she didn't describe the characters right away from chapter one because she wanted to describe the setting first and kind of reel us in slowly.

=<span style="COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f2dd3a">__Tuck Everlasting Chapter 1 Homework:__ = In the first chapter of Tuck Everlasting, Natalie Babbit expresses her feelings by telling us that she feels kind of odd about the ownership of land. She wonders if a person owns a piece of land, how much does the owner own it? Does the owner own the land all the way to the core of the Earth (fully)? Or does the owner own one piece of land that is just a thin layer in the ground? Well, I thought that when a person owns a land, then they could believe that they do fully own the land to the core of the Earth because it's your own land. What I mean is that by owning a piece of land, you could actually own a piece of the Earth's core because if you, for instance, kept digging your own land, you would eventually reach the Earth's core! So, my solution is that if a person owns a land, even a piece of land, then they own the land all the way down to the Earth's core.

=<span style="COLOR: #ffffff; FONT-FAMILY: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #f2dd3a">__Tuck Everlasting Prologue Homework:__ = If I could, I would want to live forever at the age that I am right now (the age of 10). If I was always the same age of 10, I would get Christmas and birthday presents every year (since my mom and dad say that I won't get presents once I turn 15.)! Also, the age of ten is a strong age-10 year olds could swallow and fully digest a rock! So if I stayed at 10 years old forever, I could protect my family from anything. Finally, as Francis mentioned in class, I want to see what will happen to Earth, people, and other beings and things on Earth in the future. Will Earth be just a mound of dirt with no people on it? Will there be flying cars? Will the Earth become like the setting from I Am Legend? I really wish to see and answer these questions.
