=Prologue= Question 1#=No, I would not like to live forever. These two reasons are why I would not like to live forever.First of all, I want to know how it feels living as an adult. Adults are mentally and physically different with children. So, if I had to live as a kid forever, it would not be attractive for me. Second, I would have to watch everyone in this world die. It would be too sad.

Question 2#=There are three things in the prologue that don't connect at all...yet.These are the three things that don't connect at all in the prologue.

1. When Mae Tuck set out on her horse for the wood at the edge of the village Treegap to meet Miles and Jesse, her two sons.(They do this every ten years) (DAWN) 2.When Winnie Foster, whose family owned the wood, lost her patience and was thinking about running away.(NOON) 3.When a stranger appeared at the Foster's gate looking for someone, but he didn't say who.(SUNSET)

=Chapter 1= Question 1#= This paragraph is about the comparison of my feelings about land ownership and the author's view of land ownership. The author questioned about land, such as if you own land all the way to the center of earth, or if you only own a bit of earth's crust. My opinion about land ownership to the author's view is different.I think that owning land is weird. Land is made for each and everyone of us. There shouldn't be "This land is mine, this is yours" stuff. I feel that everyone is owning land when they step on it.

Question 2#= I think that it was great that the spring wasn't found. There are three reasons for this. First, this spring let's people live forever. If everyone lived for all eternity, then Earth will not have enough space to let everyone access land. The amount of natural resources will drop dramatically and become a meager amount. Second, more animals will dissapear because if the humans live forever, then they will what more stuff to make them more comfortable, which means that they will cut down millions of trees.This leads to homeless animals. Third, after 2000 or 3000 milleniums later, the sun will probably blow up and destroy every single planet. At that time, when we escape with ships, how will we live? After our food supply is gone, we will be sick and have pain, but wouldn't be able to die.

=Chapter 2,3= 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. There is nothing I would like more than changing the way I live. What I dream about my future is here. First, I would like a more educational life because there are so many things to do in life. Added to learning the basics and tips about life, that leads me to experiencing various jobs. I could find a job that is cut out for me. I would be able to do a good job in business and become a president or boss of Microsoft or something. Here is my wish plan. Second, if I move to other countries except Korea and America (because I have lived there), I can learn another culture and see people. People who live in my planet, Earth, can be my friends and we all should coexist. More learning about other people,more living with other people in peace. I want to stay in at least five countries as Dubai, Russia, Finland, New Zealan,Chile,and Ireland. They are one of their continents. Third, my name is a bit weird. The bert part on the end of it makes me feel sort of like an idiot. When I say it, it feels a bit...stupid. I wish I had a name like Andrew, because that sounds much better to me. The name Andrew does not have any letters that I do not feel good about (l,b,r). The name Andrew gave me the same effect although my mom called me after Einstein and Schweitzer.Don't you think names can have the power to change someone's life?

=Chapter 4= Question 1= As the man approaches Winnie's gate, Winnie is trying hard to catch fireflies. Question 2= Winnie's grandmother came down the path to the gate because Winnie was talking to a stranger. Question 3= Winnie was thinking that the music was made by a music box, but her Grandma thinks that elves are making the music. Question 4= I think this person seems nice, but there is something suspicious about the old man. First of all, he asks information about this neighborhood that he shouldn't know about. Second, he asks weird questions like if they know everyone here. What is the purpose of this question? Third, he doesn't explain about what information he wants clearly. I mean, what is his situation? What does he want? Finally, if you want information, you should teel the person about yourself. For instance, your name, age, address, etc. could be told. Then you can get your hands on imformation you need. Because of these four reasons, he got a cold shoulder from Winnie's grandmother. = =

=Chapter 5= In this chapter Jesse doesn't allow Winnie drink the spring water. He doesn't let her drink it because if she drinks that water, she lives forever. So he tells her lies about the water, saying that it's not clean and has sticks and bugs inside it, and that a girl like Winnie shouldn't drink it. I would have done the same thing Jesse did. Here are two reasons why. First of all, her appearance would be too boring if she drank the water. She wouldn't get wrinkles, but she should have the same appearance forever. Second, she wouldn't be able to experience what it would be like to be an adult because she is only ten years old. She won't be able to drive a car, marry, or anything else a grown-up does. I do think that Jesse made the right choice to not let Winnie Foster drink the water, and I would have done the same thing he did.

=Chapter 6=

Question 1= I think that Winnie Foster didn't do anything when she saw the yellow suit man because she didn't know what would happen. The yellow suit man could have been a kidnapper too. I think that the yellow suit man could be a bad person because the last time the man was here, he was suspiciously asking information that he didn't need to know. She could also have been paralyzed or petrified with fear. Fear is in her heart because she has no idea of how to contact her parents. She also doesn't know what the Tucks are going to do to her. I would have done the same thing, because if he saw me crying for help, but didn't know my location, what use is that? They wouldn't be able to find me in time, because who knows what could happen to me during the time when my parents are figuring out where I am? Question 2= The type of figurative language Babbit uses in this quote: " She clung to the saddle and gave herself up to the astonishing fact that, though her heart was pounding and her back-bone felt like a pipe full of cold running water, her head was fiercely calm," is a simile because it uses the word like. Winnie doesn't really have cold water running down her bones, but it means that the cold water is fear and she is terrified at the moment. She should be scared because she is being kidnapped, and might not see her parents ever again. One figurative language is= "It was **like** a ribbon tying her to familiar things."(p.35) She means that a ribbon can tie her to other things, so the memory is tied with a imaginary ribbon. Another figurative language is= " The boy lifted a final stone and Winnie saw a low spurt of water, arching up and returning, **like** a fountain, into the ground."(p.26) Because the water went up and down, like a U-turn, it looked like a fountain, because fountains are U shaped too.

=Chapter 7= Question 1= The setting of __Tuck Everlasting__ is basically in Treegap."The road to Treegap was made by cows who were... relaxed."They made the road curvy, but a bit later, the road turns, making the spring become invisible. There are about 5-6 cottages and a jailhouse attached with the gallows. The first cottage practically said go away, and looked different from the other cottages. There is a wood next to the village, which is owned by the first cottage. Inside the wood, there is a spring that will make you immortal. The time setting for this book is probably the 1800s,since the story didn't mention cars, assuming the period of cars was a bit later. However, there are still cottages and light bulbs and other basic electricity,so at the least, it should be the 1800s.

Question 2= Jesse is talking about a plan that the creator(whatever religion you believe in)made. I think that this plan my god made was for bad people. The original plan was, that if a person did the most bad thing they ever could in their lives,(example:torturing people until they die)they would become immortal. When he or she became immortal, people would betray him and in an instant, he would be fired and his life would come to an end. They make him immortal so he can live hungry and sick until the end of the world. Somehow, other people interfered, so my creator accidently made a spring that makes you immortal.

=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. I think this person who heard the Tuck's secret is the old yellow suit man. The reason is that even at Chapter 4, he started looking for a particular family,but I'm pretty sure it's the Tucks because unless you have lived forever, it's probable that you can't know everyone who lives in your neighborhood. Oh, and when Mae said," "Teaching our little girl...how to ride!" " I think that she was doing that in order to disguise herself as Winnie's mother. This man has most recently created action,a sort of thrill, when he followed the Tucks. I think the yellow suit man has already visualized Winnie's face in his mind, so he could track the Tuck's down and then eavesdropped on the extraordinary and remarkable story of the Tucks. When the chapter ends, you know that he is an enemy, because he doesn't laugh the famous evil laugh, but he smiles devastatingly. However, as if he didn't already cause the Tucks pain be learning their story, he follows Winnie and the others to the Tucks' peaceful home! What will happen to the Tuck's???........

=Chapter 9= Question= I think the Tucks use this kind of improper language because they were probably born in a century where they couldn't be educated well. In addition to that, since people didn't have powerful technology in the 1700s, education probably wasn't important if you knew how to read signs on stuff and basically things that you see everyday. The Tucks probably didn't have time to be educated after the spring incident, so they might have lost their approppriate grammer because of that. However, some people like Abraham Lincoln did get educated at that time period. But would a 17 year old Jesse Tuck be allowed into a 3rd or 4th grade class? Not likely. Since language is communication with others and changeable, people would keep up-to-date with languages.But there was nothing else the Tucks could but avoid other people. So, they couldn't have updated their language.

=Chapter 10= Question= I think the Tucks' house(in ranks of cleanness) rank 3,000,001 out of 3,000,001 ranks. Winnie's house would have been rank 1. From these ranks, my rank would be about...3,000. This is why our house is a kind of high-ish rank. This is what my mom wants to live like in our house. For example, while my family was living in America, we had a 2-floor house with a yard, which is pretty normal. My mom could smell fresh air out in the yard and meet squirrels and stuff that is nature. However, in Korea, unless she organizes everything and puts the dirty stuff away, it feels as if you're taking in dust instead of air.

The Tucks' house is untidy and in disarray compared to Winnie's home. The Tucks' house is full of strange and amazing things in disorder, while Winnie's house has only a meager amount of that stuff,and it is neat and tidy.For example,"Under the pitiless double assaults of her mother and grandmother, the cottage was always squeaking clean,mopped and swept and scoured into limp submission." proves that Winnie's house was very clean. Also, the Tucks probably didn't clean for a few years, but the Fosters probably cleaned the house every single day. Finally, in this sentence "We make things to sell", they say the Tucks have to make stuff to sell, so the house will get even dustier, whereas the Fosters don't make things to sell, so their house isn't going to lack orderly arrangement.

=Chapter 11-12= Question 1= He means that he is very worried. He feels that what is happening right now is going to turn into huge, terrifying catastrophe. When I said huge, it means GIGANTIC. When I say terrifying, meaning devastingly scary. When I mean catastrophe, meaning an explosion of bad stuff you can't even imagine. For instance, this catastrophe could be that everyone in the world finds the spring. The wet bread part probably is the situatuation these people are stuck in. The ripping of the bread is, supposedly, part of the catastrophe. If Winnie was at her spot before meeting the Tucks, doing her chores and boring homework, then this would have never, ever, happened, and the solid bread that is the wet bread right now would have stayed it's normal form. Nobody would be suffering. Winnie chose her path by making the situation bad. Wet bread is much easier to rip than bread, anyway,which is why the catastrophe part is worrying Angus Tuck. It could happen anytime. Winnie made the bread wet. She is responsible... and yet, only Mr.Tuck is thinking about this catastrophe.... or is he???.............. Question 2= No. 1 Figurative Language (P.60) = "The sun was dropping fast now, __a soft red sliding egg yolk__, and already to the east there was a darkening to purple." Metaphor,Explanation= Babbit is saying that the sun looks like red yolk, sliding off the face of Earth. No. 2 Figurative Language (P.61) = "__The bullfrog spoke__ again, and from behind them, far back in some reedy, secret place, another bullfrog answered. Personification, Explanation= Babbit is saying that the bullfrog spoke, but he probably ribbited, so this is personification because frogs can't speak. No. 3 Figurative Language (P.63) = " Just go out, __like the flame of a candle__, and no use protesting." Simile, Comparison, Explanation= Babbit is saying that Winnie will die, and the purpose of a candle is to be light, and if it's flame is blown away, then it's as good as Winnie dead. Babbit is comparing the candle to Winnie. No. 4 Figurative Language (P.64) = "We are, we just //be//, __like rocks__ beside the road." Simile, Comparison, Explanation= Babbit is comparing the Tucks to rocks right next to the wheel of life, and that's because they're different. No. 5 Figurative Language (P.64) = "If people knowed about the spring down there in Treegap,they'd all come running like pigs to slops." Simile, Comparison, Explanation= Babbit is comparing pigs (who love slops) to humans (who probably will like living forever), so pigs would trample each other bite each other, at least make them unconcious to get those slops. Humans.... let me just say that it would be horrible to see. Guns and piledrivers all over the place (to get people faint and then get the water)... and, yeah, it would be drastic.

=Chapter 13-14= Question 1= Mr.Tuck's feelings toward living forever are horrific. He absolutely hates it, is being sad and unhappy, and probably misses hisancestors above Earth(in heaven). For the comment he makes, it means that nobody really knows their situation, and that they are just simple, and rocks also take a long time to practically die or rust or SOMETHING. Which means that this qoute means that they are alive forever, and are also simple, like rocks.... I think that Mae Tuck is kind of "oh well"-ish at this point.She doesn't know how to change it so I think she thinks to might as well live like that. Miles doesn't want to do something about it, but wants to do something righteous since he was given(well....not really given) this strange and peculiar ability to live forever. Now... Jesse is young, so I guess he has no worries about this very dramatic situation. He only needs to have fun with this and thinks that the other Tucks just aren't like him. Question 2= I would describe the Tucks like this. First, I would describe them as strangers that are isolated from the neighborhood(because the Tucks in our story are like that). Second, it would be weird because whenever we would try to help them since they are new to this place, they would say no thank you, and leave right away. Descriptions of each character would probaly be this if they really did come to my neighborhood. One:Tuck,Angus. Tuck is very worried about us being around him and scurries off every single time I try to meet him. Two: Mae Tuck:This woman is kind of not that worried and we get to talk for a minute before she makes in excuse and ta-ta! Three:Miles Tuck: This man is sort of serious about going away like his father. However, I also get to talk to him for a minute or two, and then he always says he has to go. Wonder why his family is like that....Four:Jesse Tuck: This 17 year old is very bright and is happy most of the time. I have to make the excuse after talking to him for about 15 or so minutes.

I could possibly see the Tucks over at a very secret place called the bench. Bad things always happen when people go there, so it's as isolated as a stranded island. I could recognize them by their clothes, which look like antiques about 300 years old. These clothes are not falling apart, however.

=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. I think this yellow suit man is a kind of cruel person. I saw this first when the chapter just barely started. When he just came into the house without permission, that was very rude. Second, he was cruel because he used his knowledge to probably do something with the spring in the forest. That's probably why he came in the first place. Third, he keeps interrupting and keeps on saying no, you musn't come with him. I probably would have persuaded the yellow suit man to let me come with him if Winnie was MY child.

__Question 2__ Why do you think he wants to make this deal with the Fosters? He wants to make the deal to own the forest so that he can drink from the spring.

__Question 3.__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 Babbit didn't put in any dialogue because the yellow suit man was the main subject. Also, it could be that the Fosters only said simple things so that the reader could imagine the dialogue him/herself.

=Chapter 16= Question= I think Babbit is possibly making the constable talk about the gallows baceause maybe something bad will happen to the Tucks.Maybe one of the Tucks won't let the Yellow Suit Man (YSM) drink from the spring since he has the wood, and then after a big fight, one of the Tucks could be hanged. Or, maybe Jesse won't let the YSM to take Winnie,(because this whole operation is about taking Winnie home safely) and then maybe Jesse will be hanged. So, in the future, the law could punish the Tucks. By gallows, I think you put your head through a circled rope, and then you get hanged above the groung until you die. This means that Babbit is saying that the problem could be serious. However, the law's efforts are wasted because this family of Tucks can't die.

=Chapter 17= __Question #1:__ How was Winnie's conversation with Miles similar to her conversation with Angus? How was it different? Miles' conversation was similar from Angus because Miles told her how bad it would be if everyone had to live forever and how the world would be crammed with people and no space to live. Also,he points out about other features that this situation would give.However,there are some specific differences in their conversation.For example, Angus does not point out the bad parts about nobody DIEing,but,luckily, the trout was there so Miles could talk about deaths. __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 the spring, because, first, his dad( Angus) said "NO!!!!NEVER!!!!!!" on his suggestion beacause he thinks that the rest of his family is going to sell out the secret. Second, he thinks that the idea itself would be strange and weird, because he would have a wife that was 18 years older than him and sons and daughters the same (or almost the same) age of himself from the looks, anyway. I myself would have done the same thing Miles did, because I would have to think about how the kids would feel if I had tricked them, and I also had to think about the benefit for 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?
First, Miles is going to take out the window in the room so that Mae can escape. Once she escapes, Winnie will go in, wrapped in a blanket and is going to try to look big like Mae. The Tucks will use that time to escape from Treegap for a very long time. However, I don't think this plan is a good idea, because, first of all, Winnie is going to have to risk the danger of having herself framed as the Tucks' "accomplice" and then being thrown into jail. Second of all, if the constable wakes up early and checks up on his prisoner, he'll figure out that Mae escaped and it will be GAME OVER for both the Tucks and Winnie. But, however, if there is one thing that is the most dangerous thing that could happen, it would be that the constable hears the window being put away and finding out about the whole scheme, and hanging every single one of these "criminals" in the process.

==__Question #2:__ 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, first of all, feels very guilty about her upcoming episode at midnight. She was also very nervous about what the constable would say to her after the Tucks have left. About the guilt, the author says it herself=(P.118,Chapter 23)" Beneath her excitement, she was thick with **guilt**." However, Babbit doesn't really say nervous in this quote.=(P.119,Chapter 23)"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__."

I have felt guilt and nervousness at the same time, which is whenever I brought a report card with a bad grade in it. First, I get nervous because of imagining what my punishment could be while riding the bus, and I feel guilt, because I could have done better, but NO, I just had to go and screw up.

=Chapter 24-Epilogue=

__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 changes in chapter 24 like this. First, it's dark at night, and neither rain or thunder has appeared yet. Winnie and Jesse run to the the front of the jail house, and then a flash of white passes through. The upcoming storm is at last announced, and some wind starts this terrifying storm. They meet Tuck and Miles, and then another blast of thunder blows, and the storm is coming closer to their way. Soon after Miles unsrews all the screws, a flsh of lightning appeas, and the boom of thunder follows suit. The thunder receded, and after Winnie thinks about all the possiblities that could happen during this crazy criminal rescue operation. Right after, lightning shows its colors once again, and a sounding boom from the zebra black sky. Mae escapes with the open windowsill, and the flash of lightning and a boom indinstincts Jesse's laugh. As soon as Winnie trys to get in the jail cell, the first drop of rain is splattered on her nose. When she gets in, the rain sprinkles and more consecutive thunder booms are heard. After Miles screws back in the nails, rain and wind stop the lightning for a moment or two, and as soon as the Tucks leave, the thunder does it's duty again.

__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.__**
I think the weather has something to do with this, because, first, when Jesse and Winnie get to the jailhouse, the thunder flashes, which shows that thunder is heard when the important parts are happening. Also, after that, when Miles screwed off the nails and tried to take it off, lightning flashed and the sound of thunder was heard clearly, once again. After that, when Miles took off the window for real, thunder boomed across the land and a brilliant beam of thunder was shot down from the sky, which was very amazing. When Mae's face was out of the window, thunder once again threw it's bright colors down onto the ground, and she could see Mae's face, disturbed with great concentration. Once again, thunder did it's job and Mae was out of the jail cell. Rain symbols the sadness of the Tucks because she was leaving them(probably). When thunder boomed across the land ONCE AGAIN Winnie finally went in the jail cell. FINALLY, the Tucks were FINALLY gone and the thunder resounded once more before the end of the chapter. So, my conclusion is that the thunder was heard when important parts were happening, and rain symbols sadness(once again, PROBABLY).

__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 that Mae and Tuck feel grateful for that, because that means that nobody else (except a few others who drunk from the spring and are wandering aimlessly) can drink from the spring and the population won't grow, and there won't be problems that concerned them anymore about the spring because it is gone. I feel good too, and I also feel good because the problems I discussed in chapter 1 can't happen anymore. = Please compare the book //Tuck Everlasting// with the Disney movie //Tuck Everlasting.//=

3. Which version (the book or the movie) did you like better and why?
Question 1=I think that one major difference is that the way Jesse, Winnie, and Miles rescue Mae and Tuck( I guess they didn't run away) was TOTALLY different from the way the other people used to save Mae only. Second, the order of the book and the order of the movie is also totally different. They have Miles capturing Winnie after they meet Mae ( a whole day later), and the yellow man doesn't even come to their secret conversation. I couldn't even believe it. The entire movie was in disarray compared to the book. Third, the dates and names here are messed up, especially about Winnie's age. She's younger than us in the book, but she made a growth spurt in 12 minutes and became 15!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They say they kept Winnie "prisoner" for days, maybe even weeks. Also, Winnie's parents don't take her to an academy for girls in the book. Question 2= I think they made the third switch to make the movie much longer.( Especially adding more romantic moments;blecch!><) They also made romantic moments, to, once again, make the movie longer. But, please. The movie is long enough without those parts(I think I'm going to throw up. They made her older so that she would probably seem the right age for... was it a boarding school? Second, I think the order was totally messed up in the movie so that it could have a different feel from the book. I haven't seen a movie that has the exact same order with it's book in... you know, in fact I haven't actually seen one of the kind of movie I just said. Third, I think they switched the rescue team to spice things up. It was, to tell you the truth, my favorite part of the movie because of their plan. Also, they probably also made it so that Jesse had a chance to talk with Winnie for the last time. Question 3= I like the book better than the movie. This is the first time I have ever done this, but it's only because of the romantic parts. The books can show you more information easily, but the movie obnly has pictures and words. The book is very organized and is easier to understand. I can tell you, I'm not watching that movie again until it's appropriate enough for me to watch( maybe later when I'm 18...)
