=**Prologue**= //Question 1// I prefer not to live forever in the same age. I prefer living a normal life, because when I die, I will go to heaven. In heaven, I would be able to live with my family forever, with no studying, working, selling, buying, sometimes hving pain, etc. But in this world, even if you don't die, you would have to work, study, eat, and have pain. The main point I chose not to live forever is that even if I live forever, my family will die, and I wouldn't know anyone in this world, and I would be lonely. I thought about having the pain of your parents death forever, I wouldn't like it. Another reason I didn't choose living forever in th same age, is that I don't want to be short if I get 20 years old. If I get more older like 139, my mind would be old too. so people thinks that I am 11 years old in fifth grade, I would keep on forgetting something. Also when i stay at the same age, I would have to stay on the same grade, and even if my grade goes up, I would be smaller than the other kids, and go to 5th grader AGAIN!!! //Question 2// First at dawn, Mae Tuck was getting her horse to go and meet her two sons Miles, and Jesse At noontime, Winnie Foster was ready to run away from her place. At sunset, a stranger was looking for someone at the gate of fosters.

=Chapter1= //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//. The author view's that the land owner ship is an odd thing if you think about it. That if a person owns a land it goes way down the land, until it meets other lands at the centre of th earth. I don't think land owner ship is a good idea because I don't think that nature can be owned by people. People are also an animal, so I think we must share our land with other naimal, including people. You can say to yourself I own it, but it is actually God's. Also in this case, they are not using their land, so I think if you say you own it, you must work for it, and take bit of play time and only work, or study. care of it. Like farming on the land, letting animal injoy their wood, etc.

//Qestion 2 Although we are not told, suggest reasons why it may have been a disaster if the spring had been discovered by people.// If the spring was discovered by people, many people will come from lots of different countries, and try to get some ntural resources. When many people comes to the place, they would build an airport,mining place( for natural resources ), buildings for people who lives their to work, etc. If natural resourses runs out, countries will fight over the land. If a country to country fight, they don't fight quietly. Such as tanks going over the land, corpses lying down in the streets, jets shooting missiles, etc. On word. Damaged. if the land gets distroyed, there won't be any natural resources, clean spring, and beauiful that use to be there. So try to share!!!!!!

P.S: Ms, Bedard thank you for ;ending me the book, I was able todo the home work!! P.S.S: Question 1 was quite hard to explain, but I had enjoyed it.

=Chapter 2,3= //Question 1 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 start fresh, making my own decisions about my life, the first change I would make is the place where I would be living. But first, until I graduate college, I would go to KIS.After graduating, I will go to Oxford medical university, which is in England(obviously). I will study there and finish things about medic, and then I will go to Africa to cure poorpeople, like Albert Schweitzer. Then when I get older, and can't cure more people, I would go to South Africa, Cape Town, where it has fresh air, and peaceful.

The second change I am going to make is the schedule of the day. I would first go to school, go to academy if it is monday,thursday, or friday, and do violin lessons on tuesday.But when I get home I will only do my homeworks, but not extra works,and go walking with my dog everyday. When it is Saturday, first I would fo basket ball as usual, than I would play with my friends. On sunday, after I come back from church, I would go walking with my dog, then do extra work that I didn't do it in school days. but I guess I would change theschedule when I go to middle school, college, and university. Such as having only a little time to play, but lot of time doing work, or studying. P.S: I wouldn't want to run away from my family, so it was hard to imagine #_#

=Chapter 4= //Question 1 What is Winnie doing as the stranger approaches the Foster gate?// As the stranger approoched at the Foster gate, Winnie was catching fieflies. //Question 2 Why does Winnie's grandmother come down the path to the gate?// Winnie's grand mother came down the path to the gate to get Winnie away from a stranger, because she had never seen him before. //Question 3 Winnie and her grandmother have different views about what is making the music. Explain.// Winnie's grand mother thinks it is an elf making a melody through the deep forest, and thinks kind of like legend.But Winnie doesn't agrees with her grand mother, because she thinks it is a music box. //Question 4 What is your first impression of this stranger? Make a prediction regarding the role he will play in the story.// I think he is a helpful person(not bad), who is kind of like a person who watches over the forest, and the Tucks( because they are special). Also the part where he said "I'm looking for someone. A family." I think he is looking for the Tuck family to help solve their problem, like telling them how to die, they will die when they reach another 100 years old, something like that. So I think he will be a important character in this book, doing the jobs of connecting the story.

=Chapter 5= //Question 1 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.// He did that because Winnie would live forever if she drinks it. I would have done the same as Jesse, because Jesse doesn't likes to live forever, because he said that it is terrible when you drink it, to Winnie. So he knows the pain of living forever so I wouldn't make a peson the same life as me. Also, even if I wanted to have someone that lives forever like me, I wouldn't do it. I think that letting someone drink from the spring, and don't tell them you that you live forever, that would be a sin. Even if I told them that you live forever, and they want that, I would persuade them to not drink it.

=Chapter 6= //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 that it happened too suddenly, and she was scared, she couldn't speak very fast. If I were Winnie I would have screamed, because maybe I couldn't see our family forever, or live to tell the story. Even if I got bored of my life or had nothing to do, I wouldn't choose to die. But the point is, the stranger with the yellow suit couldn't help her anyway, because the Tucks has a horse, and he doesn't. If Winnie had called out for help, she wouldn't even get help, and she would have more reason to be killed by the Tucks, than to be saved. //Question 2// In the quote, she used a simile, becaused the quote contained the word "like." There wasn't real cold water runnng down her back bone. She was trying to say that Winnie was kind of suprised, and afraid. __The first week of August hangs at the very top of the summer, the top of the live long-year, like the highest seat of a Ferris wheel when it pauses in its turning.__ I think it means that August is the last month of summer, and the important information for this story, because it said the highest seat of the ferris wheel.(pg3 first sentence) Yes, it was the same music she had heard the night before. Somehow it calmed her. __It was like a ribbon tying her to familiar things.__ I think it means that the music is too familiar that it is like tying a ribbon.(pg35 second paragraph line 3.)

=Chapter 7= //Question 1 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.// The setting of __Tuck Everlasting__ is the Winnie's house which is white and it seems so neat, and looks like as if it said shoo! Another setting for this book is the woods which seems it is in magic and feels, that if you go in the woods there is a magical world, different to this world. I think the time takes place before 1569, because that is the time when the first car was invented .( it moves by wind) And maybe before the 15th and 16th centry when Leonardo Da Vinci first drew the idea of cars, heelicopters, and planes.But in this story they only ride animals such as horses, which means it is before that. //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? 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 they mean that before human came alive again after the flood of Noah, God promised to not to kill any moe people, so maybe he made it that time to make people live forever, but people kept on making sins, and murdering someone, etc so I think he destroyed it, but somehow it got left over just as Angus said. So I think it is kind of a code, quize, or a riddle that God is giving us using the Tuck family. But I also think that God is giving a chance to live forever again, but the plan didn't work, because he tested on the Tucks and they felt pain instead of happiness.

=Chapter 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.// The person who over heard the secret was the guy(stranger) who asked Winnie in chapter1, about stuff that she knows, and who were yellow suits. The action that this guy did that created a suspense, or a tension is the sentence in chapter 4 where it says "I'm looking for someone.A family." I thought it was the Tucks that he was looking for. And it sounded suspicious, because he asked too may questions too. Another action that this guy did is the smiling at chapter 8, it says"Nor did they notice that he was following now, beside the road far behind, his mouth, above the thin, gray beard, turned ever so slightly __toward a smile__." (This is not actions but I noticed in chapter 4 that the author is describing him with the background of shadow, and the moon which seemed a little bit of loneliness, and a bit of darkness.)

=Chapter 9= //Question 1// I think they talk like that because they lived in the old days which was like hundreds years ago, and that days, the education was poor too. So I think it is kind of their style to talk like that.The first idea, I had is that, their school time was so long time ago, Mae and Angus had forgot grammar, but if it was Jesse, and Miles, it could have been to keep their secret that they live forever.( If they went to school, they had to make friends,and go to upper grade so they wouldn't have gone to school.). The second idea, I thought is that they haven't gome to school, because it was so long time ago, maybe they did home schooling, or didn't go to school, because as I said at the front, the education were much poor than these days. The style shows the characters that they are kind of tranquil, relaxed, and peaceful.( not carring about grammar.). The reason why I thought of this, is that in the cowboy days, people used to go around the mountains, forests, fields, and do campfire, etc lots of activity that show that they are enjoying there lives. Which is the Tucks. They are close to nature, and live along with it. Also, because that they could live forever, they are not stressed about doing dangerous stuff like falling off the tree, getting stabbed by a needle, and get shot by a rifle!

=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.// The author describes Tucks home like one of the holes in bottom of the big tree trunks.(I'm just saying that I think that it is one of the holes in the big tree trunks.)I can imagine the EXTRAORDINARY, and REMARKABLE house with mice. The reason why I thought of that( big tree trunks) is that the house has mice, like nature, old, and dirty. I saw that winnie was suprised, because the book said "So she was __unprepared__ for the homely little hose beside the pond..." which means that the house was so unusual to her. It is different from Winnies house because it is "... always squeaking clean, mopped and swept and scoured into limp submission." If I compare any of these house to my house, my house would be little bit dirty than the than Winnies house, but it will be OBVIOUSLY much, cleaner than Tucks house.

=Chpater 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 it means that the plan, mission, and a task of Tucks, which is keeping the spring tranquil, frantic**less**, and "move we don't want you here."( leaving it alone.) is going to be squelched by the... by the... yellow suit guy! Don Don Don Don... Don Don Don Don. A bread is soft already, but if it gets wet, yew! it will be soft, soggy, and it will easily break. I think the yellowy guy will tell his family, or whoever he knows and bring everybody to the spring, or maybe drink only him self...

//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.//

The first figurative that I found in page 60, was a similie and it was " 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 paint box__." and I think it means that the sunset is reflecting over the pond, and it is like color spilled from a box that has all kinds of colors of paint.

The second figurative language I found in page 60, was a personification and it was " Across the pond a __bullfrog spoke a deep note of warning__." and I think it means a bullfrog who lives in the pond croaked loudly as if it was the sound of warning.

Another figurative figurative language that I found on page 60, was a personification too, and it was "The row boat silpped from the bank then, silently, and glided out, __tall grasses whispering away from its__ __sides, releasing it__." and I think it means that as the row boat got started, the water grass what was just under the row boat let it go.

The last figurative language found on page 60, was a metaphor and it was " __The sun was dropping fast now, a soft red sliding egg yolk,__ and already to the east there was a darkening purple." and I think it means that he sun was going down and was going dark with the color of purple. The sun was like a red egg yolk sliding softly.

The last figurative language was found on page 61, was a personification and it was " It was so quiet that Winnie almost jumped when the __bullfrog spoke again__." and it is basically the same idea of the example on page 60, and it means that the bullfrog croaked as if it was trying to speak as a person.

=**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).//

Angus feels that the eternal life is boring, TOO tranquil, and a is also like a nomad.( Because they have to run away frm one place to another place.) He means that the Tucks are just like rocks beside the road, because the rock besides the road can only see people, and cars passing, but they can't move. He is describing that they are stuck in the same place, when other people grow up, and die. Also rock can never disappear unless, well SMASH it. People can't deal with life so they can't rush their forever spell.

Mae knows that she can't change her life, so she is kind of gave up already.(half) So instead of changing it, she is wanting to forget it. I thought like that because when Winnie went inside the house, she could see web of thread and needles that were used by Mae for sewing. I think that shows that she wants to forget it and try to live normally. But I don't think that she is saticefied with this situation eather. Miles is has the similar feeling with Mae, he is solumn and even now dumbfounded that he would never die. Jesse is the happiest one. He could do dangerous tricks, and tunts so I think he kind of enjoy, like when they were riding back home, he showed Winnie some tricks he could do.

//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 the Tucks had come to seoul this year, I might see them in Itaewon, because there are lots of foreigners there. Another reason why they would likely to appear there is that there are many western restaurants that they can go. Another solution of place is church, because they give you food, place to stay, and a little bit of money if you are lucky. The last solution is the mountains, such as Do-bong mountain, In-uang mountain, etc which has lots of hiding places. If they were at Itaewon, they would be going around, looking around the place, because it has lots of stores, and restaurant, as well as the people. I would recognize them by the family number, and the way of looking around Itaewon. If they were at church, they will be sleeping, because of the tiring trip from Treegap to Korea. I would recognize them by the clothes, which are ragged. If they were at the mountains, I could recognize them, just to see 4people, and a horse going around the mountain.( horses can't go around the street in Korea.) But the important thing is that their clothes are old.

=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 yellowy guy is a guy who everybody would grimace, and frown at, and he is very selfish. He is using his evidence for the forest. Usually people save the people who are kidnapped because they feel sympathy for the guy who is kidnapped or him or her family, but this yellowy guy is wanting something. I think is he is more bad than the person who kidnapped.( Just saying, as putting how bad it is.) The examples that shows him that he is bad is, "But you don't have to explain the situation to //you.// I've got what you want, and you've got what I want. Of course, you might find that child without me, but...you might not find her in time." and " "So: I want the wood and you want the child. It's a trade. A simple, clear-cut trade."He looked around at the three shocked faces, and as if he were seeing nothing there but calmm agreement, he smiled delightly and rubbed his hands together." Done and done." he said." //Question 2// //Why do you think he wants to make this deal with the Fosters?// The reason why I think he wants to make this deal with Fosters is that they have the wood, which has the spring, and the spring that has a special ability to make people EVERLASTING. I think that he would get payed back by living forever, which is totally boring, and is breaking the rules of the WHEELS. //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 that the author didn't write any dialogue for the Fosters because this is the chpater that says the answers the question in chapter 4, and the prologue. ( which is the stranger.) And this chapter can turn this story into a solumn story, or a frantic( happy) story. Also I think that this chapter is the that makes people say " I knew it! Something was fishy about this stranger." or " Really? I can't believe it! He seemed so kind at chapter 4." something like that. The making whole chater the yellow guys dialogue thingy is emphasizing the characters character.

=Chapter 16= //Question 1 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 that the author made the constable talk about gallows to kind of reveal the secret of the Tucks ** properly, **because they could never die. Also in the story, the Tucks only talk about what was amazing the amazing situation like, Angus getting shot by a rifle, and Jesse falling down a tall tree, so the author is now really showing what exactly will happen if they try to do a motion that will cause the mortals die. The hints that are Babbitt trying to give us are that the Tucks secrets getting known all over the world because they wouldn’t even die on the gallows. Then maybe, people will try to make their life easier. Also I think that if the secret is revealed, they don't have to go around every place on Earth every 10 years. Which is living "NORMALY." ( Not exactly normal, but better than before.)

=**Chpater 17**= //Question 1 How was Winnie's conversation with Miles similar to her conversation with Angus? How was it different?// The part that is the same is that they want to change there lives and not satisfied with it and they also talk about that the life is always changing, growing, and dieing which is going around and around. The difference between Angus conversation and Miles conversation is that Angus is only saying that the life must change, but Miles is thinking it positive, and trying to make it better. I think that Angus lived more than MIles ,and older in the "forever" age, he is exasperated of his life and is melencholy of his situation. But in "forever" age, MIles is younger so I think he has more strength left than Angus. Jesse is happy of his situation, MIles is more serious than Jesse but positive, Mae is trying to forget about the situation, and Angus is tired of it!! //Question 2// //Why didn't Miles have his family drink from the spring? What would you have done if you were in his shoes?// Miles didn't have his family drink from he spring because, first of all, they left after Miles had found out, and second of all, it was to late to find them when he knew about the spring because his wif e would be 40!! And the last reason is that he had already broke the real age that it is supposed to be because, his family would be too old by then.

If I was MIles, I would have done the same thing not only because of the braking life story, but also you don't have to get more family to live a exasperating life ,and always be melencholy of the situation. If it wasn't for that, even if the family was older, I would let them drink from it, but I don't want to let people live a boring life as me, especially my family.

=**Chapter 22&23**= //Question 1 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?// The plan to help Mae escape was first, Miles is a carpenter, he unscrews the nails that are stuck in the windowsill and then pull the window out that is at the back of the cell, and then there will be a space for Mae to go out. BUT since the constable is watching Mae every minute, Winnie will go into the jail with a blanket to be like Mae, since it is during the dark, while the Tucks help Mae escape. And then Winnie will look for a chance to get out before sunrise.

I don't think it is a bad idea for a short amount of time while you are desperate, but I don't think it was perfect, either. It was "O.K" because it was too risky for Winnie, and she is not going to go to run away like the Tucks, and she can die by the gallows if she gets caught. If the Tucks get caught before Winnie goes in, then Winnie has to convince that they are innocent, so it will be hard to convince that they are innocent than the first time, because, why would a constable believe people who were trying to escape? It was risky, but still, it was "O.K." //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.// The first emotion that Winnie is feeling, is guilty because of the mission she has to run, and that mission is against the law. It says that "Beneath the excitement, she was thick with guilt." on page 118. She has more things that were guilty like she thinks that Mae is in jail because of her being caught by the guy in yellow suit.

Also she feels nervous about the mission, and she is asking herself questions like "What would happen in the morning, when the constable found her in the cell and had to bring her home for the second time? What would they say? Would they ever trust her again? Winnie squirmed, sitting in the rocker, and swallowed uncomfortably." on page 118~119, and the last part of the sentence is the clue that I got that she is nervous.

Once when I forgot my //__Tuck Everlasting__// book at my house and I didn't know that, I felt guilty after the bus left, because I was saying to myself " What if it was at school, not at my house? I should have looked more." and I was nervous, because I had to do my homework on Wiki, and if I didn't do it, I would have to mark my behavior chart, and stay in for recess. But finally, it turned out to be on my desk where I had left it in the morning.

=Chapter 24~Epilouge= //Question 1 In your own words, describe how the weather changes from the beginning of the chapter to the end of the chapter.// The weather from the begining was heavy which means that it was a weather that is about to rain. Then when Jesse and Winnie were walking up to the jail house, the sky flashed white which means that the lightening shocked. And when Miles tried to pull the window out, there was a flash of lightening, and a crack of thunder, and then when Mae finally escaped, heavy rain fell from the sky. //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, because I think they are related to there action and feelings. First when Jesse and Winnie walks to the jail house, and the lightening flashes, I think it means that the mission is starting and the example is " The sky flashed white. But this time it wasn't heat lightening, for a few moments later a low mumble, still far away, announced at last the coming storm. A fresh breeze lifted Winnie's hair, and from somewhere in the village behind them a dog barked." the low mumble part and the still far away part is important, because it means that it just started the mission and it has lot more to go. And then it comes closer and there is " ... a flash of lightening and, soon after, a crack of thunder." and now it is the important part of the mission and they are feeling desperate for the window to open, and then the door finally opens and when Mae gets out and Winnie goes in, there is "Another crash of thunder..." then "One by one, as the rain began..." it means that now it is time to say good-bye and it is time to be happy for one mission, but start another tragic mission with Winnie getting stuck in the cell. //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?// I think Mae and Tuck is suprised at the word "OH," that Angus said. I think the "OH," is a sad one not because he liked the spring but I think he is thinking about the memory of explaining Winnie about the spring and since Winnie is dead, he is solumn and thinking it over like he is dumbfounded. Also I think that they were sad, because there were lots of turnings that they had made during the "Winnie Time" like running away from Treegap where their house were and the place that never changed during many time, and ALMOST getting the secret revealed by the guy in the yellow suit.

I also feel sad about the spring, because it always used to be there and it made me think about the whole story again before Winnie dies, and before the last moment with the Tucks. Also, I feel sad because now I know that there won't be a mysterious incident about finding the spring, and there won't be a book two, that I think it will be fun if the author wrote it. And I think that the whole story was sad, calm, and extraordinary.

=Tuck Movie Book Comparison= //Question 1// //List three __major__ differences between the book and the movie.// One of the major difference is the part when Winnie first meets the guy in the yellow suit. In the book, the yellow guy just heard the music box and recognizes it, but in the movie, he actually whistles the melody. And adding to that, in the movie Winnie's grandma didn't talk about the melody that she thinks it was made by elves.

The second major difference was the kidnapping part. In the book, it says that Mae, Jesse, and MIles were altogether when Winnie was taken away, but in the movie, the whole chapter that talked about the kidnapping just was like 10 seconds without Mae kidnapping Winnie. Also Miles is the one who put her up the horse and Jesse was the one who was running behind Miles.

The last major difference that I am going to talk about is the difference in the part when they tries to escape Mae. In the book it says that, since Miles is a carpenter, he unscrewed the nails that are stuck in the window and pull them out when they were all unscrewed. But in the movie, it was like a comedy. Jesse and Miles tryed to be a kidnapper of Winnie and Winnie said that some strangers are folowing her and then the police man goes out and shoots Jesse and MIles. But since they are "Everlasting", they pretended to be dead for about 10 seconds and scared the police man like his pants was on fire, running in to the main police station. And finally, Winnie gets Mae out. //Question 2 Why do you think the movie had these differences? (Be specific.)// The reason I think that there are differences in the movie and the book is that the book is more detailed than the movie, and some of the part in the book is quite hard to act in the movie like the thunder shocking and taking every single nail out of the window. Also there is another reason why it haas differences is that it would be too long of they included all the detailed parts like the part when Winnie is kidnapped and they are talking about lots of stuff and going slow. The last reason that I think why the book has differences to the movie, because the movie is the final draft of the story and well organized. First the author writes the book. then it goes on to the movie so the people who made this movie is chosing what will the best to be explained by real life. //Question 3 Which version (the book or the movie) did you like better and why?// Well it was hard to chose but I think the movie was better because when I read //Tuck Everlasting// I ways wandered how would it be like if it was in real life, and there it is. The movie. I was quite disappointed by the part where they escape Mae, and the Epilouge where the firest was gone and the spring, because it was not exactly sme as the book but I understand the situation especialy the " wood gone" one. But still I think I liked the movie better.
