=Prologue= //Question1://If you could live forever, staying at the same age that you are now would you choose to live forever?

I don't want to live forever, staying at the same age that I am now cause I want to see what I look like when I grow up. It seems a little freaky to look the same all your life. Also if I live forever I might need to stand painfull illnesses. If I live forever, and other people don't, I will need to see people dying, my friends, families, and other important people to me. Maybe one day Earth will be destroyed because of polution and other bad stuff so we might live in another planet and I don't want to go to another planet. I like Earth so I am going to live in Earth and die in Earth

//Question2:// In the prologue the author describes three things that happen on one day and seem unrelated. What are those three thing?

One thing is that Mae Tuck goes to the village of Treegap with her horse every 10 years to meet her sons. Another thing is that Winnie Foster thought about running away. The last thing is that at sunset a stranger appeared at the Fosters gate looking for someone, but didn't say who.

//Question1:// Babbitt gives her views about land ownership in this chapter. Explain the author's views and then express your feelings about land ownership. I think the author's view of land ownership is that it is an odd thing. The author wonders if the land ownership goes down till it meets all other pieces at the center of the earth or does land ownership is just the crust part of earth. I think land ownership might be a good thing. If you get to share land areas then you might get into a fight that someone uses too much land. Also if you share land you might not be able to do your private stuff. You can fight about paying taxes. If you have your own land no fights like that will happen. Having your own land is safe.

//Question2:// Although we are not told, suggest reasons why it may have been a disaster if the spring had been discovered by people. I think if people found out there was a spring they would use it carelessly. Since there was a spring in that tree people might think other trees might have springs so kill other trees and try to get the spring. If that happens a lot of trees will be wasted and maybe there will be no other spring. I think the cows did a really good job even though the cows might not know.

=Chapter2,3= //Question:// Take a few minutes to contemplate Winnie's quote at the top of page 15. If you could start fresh, making your own decisions about your life, what are some changes you would make? Please write about at least 2-3 changes and organize your response in paragraphs.

If I could start fresh making my own decisions the first change I would make is to live at a new house. I want a house that is well protected, has lots of books, is large and other stuff you can't imagine. I want it to be well protected (obviously) so it can block any natural disaster (If it's possible). I want it to have lots of books so I can read a lot. I want it to be large so I can run around a lot and scream a lot. Also you can play hide and seek with your friends.

Another change I want to make is I want to be smart (If I'm not). To go to a good collage, have a good job, and have a nice family you need to be smart. Also you can make your mom, dad, friends, and teachers proud by getting good scores.

Finally I want to CHANGE MY KOREAN NAME!! Everybody teases me because my korean name sounds like "Be Quiet!". Even teachers tease me. Also people tease me because my name sounds like Cho-Seng-He, the guy who killed 14 people in America. I hate it went people call me a murderer. So I REALLLLLLLLLLLY WANT TO CHANGE MY NAME!!!!!

=Chapter 4=

Question1: What is Winnie doing as the stranger approaches the Foster gate? Winnie is catching fireflies as a stranger approaches the Foster gate.

//Question2:// Why does Winnie's grandmother come down the path to the gate? Winnie's grandmother came down the path to the gate because she saw Winnie talking with a stranger and she didn't want Winie to talk with a stranger.

//Question3:// Winnie and her grandmother have different views about what is making the music. Explain. Winnie's grandmother thinks that elves are making music comming from somewhere. She is very excited about it. Winnie thinks it's just a music box making the music.

Question4: What is your first impression of this stranger? Make a prediction regarding the role he will play in the story. I think the stranger is a nice guy yet. He wears stylish clothes and he talks lightly and richly (which I think is good) I think he is maybe he is the son of Mae Tuck which means he will live forever. He might show the spring to Winnie. Also he noticed that Winnie's grandmother has heard the music before which means that he lived for a long long time.

=Chapter5=

= = //Question1:// In this chapter Jesse refuses to let Winnie drink from the bubbling spring. Why does he do that? Would you have done the same thing or would you have let her drink from it? Explain your opinion in a complete paragraph.

Jesse dosen't explain exactly why he refuses Winnie drink from the bubbling spring. He says it is very dangerous if you drink it and you're not use to it. He says he can drink it because he is use to it. I think he dosen't want Winnie to feel the pain of living forever. If I as Jesse I would look at Winnie and if her first looks are good, I would tell her why she shouldn't drink the bubling spring. But if she looks like a bad person and she is rood I would tell her to drink it and make her feel the pain of living forever.

=Chapter6= = = __//Question 1://__ Why do you think Winnie did not do something when they came across the stranger along the road? Would you have done something? Why or why not? Please explain in a complete paragraph. I think Winnie didn't do something when they came across the stranger along the road because she was too terrified to even speak, or maybe she wants to know about the spring. l wouldn't have plead for help because I am curious about the spring. They said they won't harm her and they would bring her back the next day. They seem like very nice people and they will keep their words.

//Question2:// What type of figurative language does Babbitt use in this quote?**:**//"...though her heart was pounding and her backbone felt like a pipe full of cold running water, her head was fiercely calm."//Was there really cold water running down her backbone? What is Babbitt trying to say here? Where else in the story so far has the author used this type of figurative language? (Can you find two?) Copy the quote (include the page in parenthesis) and tell us what you think the author is trying to describe. The type of figurative language that Babbitt uses is a simile because it says //__like__ a pipe full of cold running water.....// Similes always have like or as and she compared her backbone as a pipe full of cold running water. This sentence means that Winnine is very astonished and terrified.

One simle that came out in the book is //"He was thin and sunburned, this wonderful boy, with a thick mop of curly brown hair, and he wore his battedred trousers and loose, grubby shirt with as much self-assurance __as__ if they were silk and satin."// On page 25. This means that this boy thinks his grubby shirt is made out of silk and satin

Another simle that comes out in the book is //"For her part, Winnie, now tht the running was over, began to comprehend what as happening, and with the comprehension her throuat closed and her mouth went dry __as__ paper"// On page34. This means that she is extremely thirsty.

=Chapter 7= //Question1:// In a complete paragraph, please describe the setting of Tuck Everlasting. You may need to review details from earlier chapters in the book. Make sure that you use quotation marks if you quote anything directly from the book. This book's setting is in a village called Treegap, in a house that the main character lives in, and a wood where a spring that makes you live forever exists. I think this is in the old days like 1800s because cars weren't made and they only use horses to move around long distances. Since there is no cars and factories it will be peaceful without pollution and global warming.

//Question2:// //"'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? In your description, make sure you connect the bubbling spring to your opinion of the 'plan' Jesse and Angus are referring to. Your answer to this question should be at least one paragraph. I think Jesse means that the world's creator (GOD) made this 'live forever spring' for some plan but that plan didn't work out. Maybe the plan was to make a spring that can make you belive more in GOD (If he did make the spring) but he accidently made it a live forever spring.

=Chapter 8= //Question1:// 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. The person that overheard the Tuck's secret is the person with the yellow suit. In chapter 4 this person with the yellow suit says that he is looking for a family (which is the Tucks) and he noticed that grandma heard the elves music before (which is actually Mae Tuck's music box). In chapter 7 this yellow suit guy sees the Tucks kidnapping Winnie. Maybe he was following them but accidently he went infront of them and he saw them. It says that the yellow suit guy looked surprised and maybe that is because the Tucks might notice him, but they didn't.

=Chapter 9= = = //Question1//: By this chapter, we have read a lot of dialogue involving the Tucks. Here are some examples of incorrect grammar that the Tucks have used in their conversations: //"It don't take 'em more'n a minute to pile into that pond."// //"How do, Winnie Foster."// //"We was like gypsies."// Explain why you think the Tucks talk like this and try to come up with reasons how this shows us more about their characters. This should be written as a complete paragraph.

I think the Tucks talk like this because they lived for a long time. Since they lived for more than 84 years and didn't go to school (I think) they couldn't have learned proper english. Since they lived for a long long time and they are still living they could have learned to speak a 'bad grammer accent'. Also they didn't live with other people for a long time so they don't know the modern type english.

=Chapter 10=

//Question1:// 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.

Babbit explains that the Tuck home is very dirty and disorganized like a mad scientist's room, a pig pen and other dirty places you can imagine. One exampe from the book is " An ancient green-plush sofa lolled lone in the center, like yet another mossy fallen log, facing a soot streaked fireplce still deep in last winter's ashes." Winnie's house is like a mad cleaning a-zumma's house. They can't stand even a little tiny teeny bit of dirt or dust. If the Tucks goes to Winnie's house they will say Winnie's family is born to clean. One example from the book is "Under the pitiless double assaults of her mother and grandmother, the cottage where she lived was always squeaking clean, mopped and swept and scoured into limp submission." My sister room is like the Tuck house but my mom's room is sometimes like Winnie's house. My room is always different.

=Chapter 11-12=

//Question1:// 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 Tuck means that their secret about "how to become immortal" will be spreaded to everyone by the guy in the yellow suit. Tuck is saying that his secret will come apart into pieces just like wet bread. I don't know why I had a good feeling about this character that will make all this chaos.

//Question2:// 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.

1. The sky was a ragged blaze of red and pink and orange, and its double trembled on the surface of the pond like color spilled from a paintbox. (60pg) Simile,Metaphor Metaphor-The sky is covered by different colors. Simile-its double trembled on the surface on the pond is being compared to color spilled from a paintbox.

2. Winnie almost jumped when the bullfrog spoke again. (61pg) Personification The bullfrog made a sound.

3. The sun sucks some of it up right out of the ocean and carries it back in clouds, and then it rains, and the rain falls into the stream, and the stream keeps moving on, taking it all back again. (62pg) Personification The sun absorbes the water.

4. Just go out, like the flame of a candle, and no protesting. (63pg) Simile She will lose her life in a second, just like a candle does.

5. We just //are//, we just //be,// like rocks beside the road. (64pg) Simile Tucks are being compared to rocks beside the road.

=Chapter 13-14=

//Question1:// //"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).

Angus is feeling bored and sad that he can not be part of the wheel. The third quote means that they are never moving, and never changing (even though rocks change some time) so they are the same forever. I think Mae is very strict about keeping the secret. She begs Winnie not to tell anyone about the secret. Miles is worried about other peole drinking from the spring. He's very serious about it and even says "That kind of talk'll make her want to rush bavk and drink a gallon of the stuff" to Jesse. Jesse thinks it's cool being alive. He bragged about seeing many cool stuff while your alive.

//Question2:// 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 the Tucks came to our town I might notice an apartment or a house that is very dirty and disorganized. If I have a chance seeing them I will recognize them by their old fashioned and dirty clothes. I might notice them because they are not a korean and I don't see a single American person in my town. Also they will be the only person (Exept for me. hehe) that speak English fluently. Even though everyone in our town knew how to speak English the Tucks have a old fashioned accent. It will be easy to find the Tucks in our town.

=Chapter 15= = = = = //Question1:// 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.

He dosen't care about what other people think about. One example from the book is "He lifted a hand then, //ignoring// their exclamations, and began to smooth the thin hairs of his beard" Also he insults people alot. He is saying that the tucks are the country side people and they can't read or write. He also insults the fosters a little bit by saying "Of course you could have found the child without me, but... you might not find her in time" That's saying that the Fosters don't have the ability to save their child fast enought.

//Question2:// Why do you think he wants to make this deal with the Fosters?

He wants to make this deal with the Fosters because he wants to become immortal by drinking the water.

//Question3:// Give your opinion about why Babbitt didn't write any dialogue for the Fosters. In other words, why do you think the stranger is the only one talking in this chapter? = =

=
I think Babbitt didn't write any dialogue for the Fosters because the fosters were to astonished by the yellow guy suddenly saying that he knows where Winnie is. They might be surprised that they suddenly need to give their woods away.======

=Chapter 16=

//Question1:// In this chapter the constable talks about the gallows. Why do you think Babbitt makes the constable talk about the gallows? What possible hints is Babbitt trying to give us about what could happen to the Tucks in the future?

I think Babbit made the constable talk about gallows because it's is like saying "Now I will reveal the truth of the Tucks to normal people" I think the Tucks will be in the gallows and people will be astonished by the Tucks not dying. They might try to shoot them with a gun or throw a sword at them. When that doesn't work they will demand the Tucks to tell them how to live forever.

HI EDAWARD I AM PHIL WHATS UP YOU KNOW YOUR ID WAS LOGGED ON MY COMPUTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

=Chapter 17=

//Question1:// How was Winnie's conversation with Miles similar to her conversation with Angus? How was it different?
Winnie's conversation with Miles and Angus is similiar because they are both talking about how sad they are to fall off the wheel of the Life Cycle. Angus talks about all the things around them and relating him to those things, but Miles talks about his life, the decisions he made and what he wants to do.

//Question2:// Why didn't Miles have his family drink from the spring? What would you have done if you were in his shoes?
Miles wanted to have his family drink from the spring but after his family left he found out that the source of living forever was the spring. Also Angus said it's better to tell less people about the spring. Even though Miles found his family after he noticed the source of living forever his wife would be way older than Miles and his children will be about his age. I wouldn't have made the family drink from the spring too, but for another reason. I would have not let the family drink the water because if his wife and all of his family members drink from the spring his son and daughter wil marry someone and they will have that person to drink from the spring, and it will go on and on. People will think it is weird that none of the Tuck members are dying and one day the Tucks might cover the world.

=Chapter 22-23=

Question1: After reading chapter 22, in your own words, describe the plan to help Mae escape. (Be specific.) Do you think it's a good plan? Why or why not? Miles is going to make a ladder because he is a good carpenter. He is going to put the ladder up the window take out the frame and let her out, and as she comes out Winnie will take her place so the Tucks will have more time to escape. I think this is a bad idea because the constables might have thought Winnie was Mae and hang Winnie accidently. Also if she was older she would have been hanged for saving criminals.

Question2: In Chapter 23, Babbitt describes many emotions (feelings) that Winnie is experiencing at the same time. Describe two emotions (feelings) that Winnie is experiencing and __**use examples from the book as your proof.**__ Describe a time when you also experienced these two emotions at the same time.

She was excited but also felt guilt. She was excited that she could finally make a change in the world and save the Tucks, but guilty because she might make her family worry again. I think she is also guilty because she was going to help a criminal, so her parents and the constables might be mad at her. It says "Beneath her excitement, she was thinck with guilt."

I don't know if I had this kind of experience before. Maybe when my grandfather died I was happy and sad. 94 percent sad and 6 percent happy. I was sad because obviously a person that really loved died. I was a little happy because he gets to go to heaven and he doesn't get hurt by cancer and he won't feel pain up there. Also I was sad and happy when my sister left. I was sad because I can't see my sister for a long time. I was happy because she went to a good school and she will get smarter there.

=Chapter 24-epilogue=

//Question1:// In your own words, describe how the weather changes from the beginning of the chapter to the end of the chapter.

First nothing really bad was happening to the weather. Then a flash of light covered the sky but it wasn't thunder. Then there was thunder and the storm was coming closer. After there was a light flashed and thunder crashed. Then rain came.

//Question2:// 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.__**

First when Winnie and Jesse were going a flash of light was in the sky. It says "The sky flashed white." Then when they met Miles and Tuck thunder roared and the storm was coming closer. "Another roll of thunder sounded. The storm was moving nearer. After while Miles was taking out the nails thunder roared again. "Then-a flash of lightning and, soon after, a crack of thunder. Then after Winnie takes a look at the gallows a crashing burst of noise came out from the sky. "What if... She looked over her shoulder at the dark shape of the gallows, and shuddered. Again a flash of lightning, and this time a crashing burst of noise from the swirling sky." Then after Mae escapes thunder crashes. "Another crash of thunder muffled Jesse's bursting, exultant laugh. Mae was free." Then when Winnie goes in the jailroom thunder roars again. " The next obliging roll of thunder saw it wedged once more into place. And then-would Miles put back the nails? She waited." Then rain comes when they are seperated. "Rain came in sheets now, riding the wind, flung crosswise through the night. Lightning crackled, a brilliant, jagged streak, and thunder rattled the little building.

I think that lightning and thunder comes in important parts. Miles and Tuck meeting Jesse and Winnie, Miles taking out nails, Mae escaping, those are all important parts. I think that Rain means it's time to say bye or it is sad because when Winnie went in the jailroom the Tucks needed to run away so they needed to say bye, and it's sad because they can't meet again for a long long time.

//Question3:// 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? = = I think Mae and Tuck are happy about the spring being destroyed. They are happy because nobody will be finding a way to live forever. From now on nobody will fall off the wheel of life except for the Tucks and other people that drank from the spring (If there is).

I am very happy too. Nobody but the Tucks will need to feel the pain of living forever. If everybody found out there was a spring then everybody will drink it which is freaky because human being will only increase but not decrease. Also if animals are smart enough all the animals will drink from the spring which is also freaky because even though I like bugs, I hate mosquitoes, and flies and other certain bugs. I don't want to imagine what it would be like if there was no space in Earth for anymore objects or living things. Also I am a little bit glad for Jesse. If the spring wasn't gone he would look at it and remember Winnie which would make him very sad. I think Winnie should have drinked the spring water to make Jesse glad.

=Movie and Book comparison=

//Question 1:// List three **__major__** differences between the book and the movie.

One major difference is Winnie's age. She is suppose to be 10 turning into 11 but she looks like a teenager that is 15 or 16 years old. Also I thought she was way smaller than me (a few inches) but actually she is way taller than me.

Another one is the Tucks act infront of Winnie (except for Mae). Jesse was kind to Winnie when they first met, but Jesse was a little bit mean to Winnie when they first met. Jesse pulled Winnie harshly when Winnie tried to drink from the water. Miles was mean in the whole movie. He was mean to Winnie when they first met because he yanked her to his horse. Also he talking meanly to Winnie and Jesse when they were (ewwwwww). I thought Miles was sereious and kind, but he was serious and mean. Angus was serious when he first met Winnie even though the book said Angus was elated to meet Winnie.

Finally the the 3rd major difference is people's plans. When Jesse and Winnie were talking Miles and Mae came with a horse and tried to console Winnie as they went, but in the movie Miles just takes her to the Tuck's home. In the book the yellow man reports Winnie's family that he saw Winnie getting kidnapped, but in the movie the yellow suit man finds Winnie rowboating with Angus. When Winnie tries to save Mae, they make a ladder, rescue Mae and Winnie takes Mae's place in the book, but in the movie Winnie tells the constable that the Tucks are getting her and while Jesse and Miles tortures the constable Winnie saves Mae.

//Question 2:// Why do you think the movie had these differences? (Be specific.)

First I think they made Winnie older so she can (ewwwwwww!) with Jesse. Also she made a homerun in baseball which is kind of a impossible thing for a 10 year old girl. Also they talk aboud letting Winnie go to a boarding school and that is a drastic thing for a 10 year old girl.

Second they just made the Tucks act harshly to Winnie (except for Mae and Jesse) to emphasize the fact that she is kidnapped. Also to make her scared a lot so it will be harder to calm her down.(?)

Third they made different plans to make it more exciting. Miles yanking her to the horse and bringing her to the Tuck's home was to make it obvious that she is kidnapped. The man in the yellow suit finding Winnie later was to make Winnie's family more worried. Jesse, Miles, and Winnie saving Mae was ... to make it funny! ^^

//Question 3:// Which version (the book or the movie) did you like better and why?

I like the book way better than the movie. In the book there is a lot of figurative language that I enjoy, and a lot of detail about the characters and the settings. Also in the book there is no (ewwwwww!!) stuff. The book is organized. The movie is out of order, can explain the setting, and characters only by showing them, and the movie can't explain figurative language. And obviously there is (ewwwwwww!!!!) There is one part that I liked about the movie which is how Jesse, Miles, and Winnie saves Mae. This movie is very disgusting. It is and inappropriate movie which only 19 or above can see. WHY DID YOU SHOW US THIS MOVIE????!!!!!! = =
