//__Prologue__//
If I had the opportunity to live forever at the age right now then I would. I would like to remain on my age which is 11 in korea because I would want to live for a very long life. I would want to remain in the age 11 because after when I go to college I would only become the age 11 when my other friends become like 20. If I graduate college then I would look too young to get a job. I wouldn't want to get a job because you can have freedom. Also if I am at the age 11 then I would get to see the future forever and ever because I am at the age 11. I wish I can live at the age 11 because I would live forever when others don't.

**//__Chapter 1__//**
I think the author's view is that everyone should own the same amount of land and that nobody should tresspass other's land and use this land when the land is not your land. I think the author's main view is that everybody should have equal amounts.In my view, I think the author is right that everybody should own the same amount of land because if you don't and try to use other's land then you might end up being in a fight when you could just use the same amount.

//__**Chapter 2**__//
The setting "And so, at dawn, that day in the first week of August, Mae Tuck woke up and lay for a while beaming at the cobwebs on the ceiling." I notice that the setting is talking about the very first morning before sunrise, and this setting is the first non connection from the other two non connections This setting is also talking about August when it is a very hot weather. I also notice that Mae Tuck can be the main character because she comes out from one of the three connections.

//__Chapter 3__//
The setting "At noon of that same day in the first week of August, Winie Foster sat on the bristly grass just inside the fence." I notice that the setting is at noon which is the procedure of the day after dawn, when it is lunch time. The setting is the second non connection of the other non connections Even Winnie is the character coming out of the setting in the non connection, so Winnie Foster can also be one the main characters.

//__Chapter 4__//
The setting "At sunset of the same long day, a stranger came strolling up the road from the village and paused at the Foster's gate." I notice about this setting that the setting happened during sunset which is the last of the day procedure and is also called the evening. This setting is the third of the other non connections. In the setting there is also a stranger that got well described and is a character that came out in the setting, so the stranger can be one of the main characters of the book.

//__Chapter 5__//
Jesse refuses to let Winnie drink from the bubbling spring because the water isn't the water we drink, but the water is the water that came from the ground and would be bad to drink. If I were Jesse then I would let Winnie drink the bubbling spring because Winnie might be thirsty for looking all around the wood and also the wood belonged to the Foster's, so Winnie would get to choose if she should drink the bubbling spring or not.

//__**Chapter 6**__//
1. //"...though her heart was pounding and **her backbone felt like a pipe full of cold running water**, her head was fiercely calm."//(pg.32) I don't think there was any cold water flowing down Winnie's back. I think Babbit is trying to say that Winnie felt that she had cold water down her back which means that she is very frightened. I think the author used this descriptive tecnique when she was describing the look of Jesse which absorbed Winnie's feeling into Jesse.(Ch.5) I also think she used this descriptive techique while describing the touch me not cottage.(Ch.1) 2. I think that Winnie didn't do something to the stranger because once the stranger find Winnie with the Tuck's when Winnie is not the daughter of the Tuck's then the stranger would think that Winnie know the person the stranger is finding for. I wouldn't have done something because once I do I would get followed by the stranger.

//__Chapter 7__//
I think Jesse means that the well the Tuck's took the water out might have been very special or maybe the Tuck's are very special that everytime they drink water the water makes them live forever.I think the plan Jesse and Angus is talking about is that the Tuck's don't like living forever, so the Tuck's might be trying to find a plan which would make the Tuck family the same people as regular people. The plan can also be that they shouldn't tell the secret to people that they can't believe because once they do then people would want to live forever that can be bad.

//__Chapter 8__//
The person that overheard the Tuck's secret was the stranger that came to find a person in front of the Foster's Gate, but didn't tell who the person was. The stranger followed the Tuck's with Winnnie because before, when he went up to the Foster's Gate he was asking questions that could give him a clue where the person is that the stranger wants to know. After the questions there was a beautiful piece that came from a music box inside the woods and then grandma said that she heard the piece more than once and thought that the music coming from the music box was the elf's music, but Winnie thought it was the sound coming from the music box. The stranger also asked if Winnie's grandma knew this piece and when the stranger was walking away, he started whistling the piece from the music box which means that the stranger also heard this music. Later when Winnie past the stranger, the stranger just followed her because Winnie was with other people that the stranger followed and then he got to hear the secet which might of made him very selfish.

//__Chapter 9 and 10__//
1. Babbit describes the home very detailish and specific. Babbit is describing to other people that the house is fancy and beautiful. Babbit described every single thing that appeared in the Tuck's house. Winnie's house isn't very much like the Tuck's because Winnie's house has metal fences and is a cottage. In Winnie's house she had to scrub and clean the house, but the Tuck's leave there house alone and cobwebs are made. My house isn't much like the Foster's or Tuck's house because I live in the 10th floor of the apartment, but the Foster's and the Tuck's live in small houses. In my house I don't do cleaning, but our maiden does. I sometimes clean the house, but not very much. I have electronical things like computers, but the Foster's don't have anything like this. 2. I think the spring water is a curse because the water shouldn't be magical because there is no magical water. I think the spring water is a curse because the water tasted weard and suddenly made the Tuck family live forever. The water can also be cursed to the Tuck family because the Tucks might need to see a person in the future which might be the stranger

//__**Chapter 11-12**__//
Angus Tuck's feeling towards eternal life is the worst to Angus. Angus's family is now not part of the human cycle because human are supposed to die, but the Tuck's eventually live forever. Agus also feels that his family are all cursed. On the quote //"We just **are**, we just **be**, like rocks beside the road."// means that the Tuck family are like rocks because rocks are objects that doesn't die, but just stays there never moving. The rocks never moving could mean about the Tuck's human cycle because the human cycle moves, but the Tuck's don't move a bit in the human cycle which is a sigh meaning that they are stuck. Angus has different feelings from his family such as he thinks that his family is a cursed family or a family that is hated, so the water becomes magic. Angus also is angry because he is losing his friends.

//__Chapter 14__//
Jesse suggests Winnie to drink the water when she is seventeen and have an everlasting life like Jesse. Jesse tells Winnie that when she drinks the water at the age of seventeen then Jesse and Winnie are the same age and Jesse wants Winnie to marry him because once they do then they can go away and have an everlasting time together. I predict that Winnie might or might not marry Jesse. I think she might marry Jesse because Winnie loves Jesse and always adores him. Winnie would also want to marry Jesse because she wants to stare and gaze at Jesse and when she marries then she would get to stare at Jesse's because she adores him. I think she might not marry Jesse because Angus Tuck and especially Jesse told not to deink from the spring, but Jesse is suddenly telling Winnie to drink from the spring. Angus might tell that Winnie can't drink the spring which means that Jesse and Winnie will have a short time instead of a everlasting time. Winnie's father won't allow Winnie to marry Jesse because the Tucks kidnapped Winnie and when Winnie's father finds out then something bad will happen to the Tucks. I think that Winnie and Jesse should marry because they both adore each other and Winnie especially wants to not stay apart from Jesse. Even Jesse is wanting to marry Winnie as soon as possible.

//__Chapter 15 and 16__//
1. The man in the yellow suit is behaving to the Fosters in a bad manner. He is behaving in a bad manner because he is telling to the Fosters that the man in the yellow suit is the person that knows everything and is saying he is brave, so he doesn't need to explain about the situation that made Winnie get kidnapped from. The man in the yellow suit is also bragging or he is a show-off because he also says before that he is the only person that can find Winnie. The man in the yellow suit is also tellling the Fosters that this is his buisness of getting Winnie back not the Fosters buisness to do it. Even the stranger is a such a jealous person because he said he wanted all of the wood just to bring back Winnie. The stranger also orders the Fosters to give the wood which makes the Fosters shocked to finally give the woods away which was kept to the Fosters for the whole time. 2. The constable is suspicious of the man in the yellow suit because the Fosters never sold their wood ever, but suddenly the wood is sold to the man in the yellow suit. The constable also didn't have crime for the last fifteen years and suddenly there is crime that happened after the fifteen years that doesn't really look like crime because the Tucks treat Winie like a friend. The constable is walking in a steady pace, but the man in the yellow suit can't wait to get the wood from the Fosters and the man in the yellow suit also needs to get their quick before the Tucks are rise in the morning when Angus can shoot the man in the yellow suit with Angus's shotgun. The constable also wants to know what the man in the yellow suit is going to do to the woods when he gets it. The constable thinks that the man in the yellow suit is one of the cahoots of the Tucks and the man in the yellow suit should have reported right away, but the man in the yellow suit wanted to follow the Tucks and also heard the Tuck's secret about the spring. The man in the yellow suit can't wait to go into the woods and try to find the spring Mae was talking about at the river when the man in the yellow suit was hiding. The man in the yellow suit is too greedy to drink the spring and become a person that will never die. The man in the yellow suit also might want the Tucks to get prisoned for kidnapping Winnie and the constable said that the constable got a new jail house and the man in the yellow suit is wanting the Tucks to stay in the brand new jail house.

//__Chapter 17 and 18__//
1. Miles didn't take his family because the Tucks didn't realize about the spring while Mile's family lived in the farm. Later Miles thought of going to find his family, but by then the children would be old as their father which is Miles. Also Mile's wife would be about forty by then. If I knew about the spring when I marry then I wouldn't take my children to the spring until the age of about 17 because at that time they can be very smart and have a job to do to make money. I would also take my wife because my family should die together. My family would also not like it because my wife would think that we should be a cycle and my childrens would be sad to no longer have their old friends that will eventually die. 2. The conversation was similar with Miles and Tuck on the pond because they were both talking about what happened at their life when they drank from the spring. Miles was talking about what happened when his family didn't drink the spring and about their age. Tuck talked about what affected his family. They are different because Miles also talked about age, but Tuck talked about the hub of the wheel.

//__Chapter 19 and 20__//
1. I don't agree with the man in the yellow suit's arguement because the man in the yellow suit should listen to what the Tucks protest about not to drink the spring because it might cause something terrible. The man in the yellow suit ignored what the Tucks were saying and decided that he should make a lot of people never die, but the Tucks don't want that to happen. The man in the yellow suit is also trying to make the Tucks get very angry because the Tucks care about the people. 2. Tuck feels that way because Mae suddenly hit the man in the yellow suit when the constable arrived and he is thinking that Mae is going to get sent to jail which Tuck would worry about. Mae is also going to get the gallows and Tuck is worrying that she might die for killing the man in the yellow suit. If I was in Tuck's situation then I would wish the man in the yellow suit alive,so Mae can be not dead, but be in jail and that time I can sneak in and take out Mae.

**//__Chapter 21__//**
Winnie feels that the wasp should live again because if somebody killed a person then the person who killed the other person needs to also die for killing a person. Winnie is thinking that when Winnie killed the wasp the wasp was all ripped apart for hitting it with a heavy book. Winnie is also thinking about Mae as how she felt for the wasp which would be Mae might be weeping for the man in the yellow suit. I had something similar to what Winnie did to a wasp. I have killed a spider that was crawling around in my house when I was in 1st grade and I was very scared that I rolled the spider over with my toy auto-car and the spider eventually got squished and died. After killing the spider I wasn't angry that the spider might hurt me, but I was very scared that I shouted to my mom for help. I felt kind of sorry for the poor spider, but I had no choice because I was very scared and I wanted to kill it so it wouldn't start coming towards me and crawl over my body which would tickle and quite hurt if the spider bites.

//__Chapter 22__//
I think Angus isn't agreeing to have Winnie help with the escape because the mission can be dangerous if the Tucks are caught with Winnie which could mean they are kidnapping in the constable's point of view. Winnie said that she would stay in the jail in replace of Mae, so the constable wouldn't know that the Tucks escaped. Winnie might have to stay in jail for a very long time and since Mae needs to go to the gallows then Winnie might go instead of her but by then the Tucks would be very far away from Treegap. Angus doesn't want Winnie to stay in jail for the Tucks, but stay home because the Foster's might get worried about where Winnie is in that moment. I think Winnie should help the Tucks with the escape because the Tucks are Winnie's friends and friends should always help out. Before the day she needs to help the Tucks, Winnie can drink the spring Jesse gave to her to drink, so Winnie wouldn't die in the gallows.

//__Chapter 23 and 24__//
The quote //"Stone walls do not a prison make,Nor iron bars a cage."// means that a prison shouldn't be made by stone walls and a cage shouldn't be blocked by iron bars. This poem came to Winnie's mind because Mae was locked up in the new jail house for murdering the man in the yellow suit. Mae was locked up in a cage with metal bars, so Winnie is thinking about Mae locked up in the jail house.

//__Chapter 25 and Epilogue__//
If I were in Winnie's position then I wouldn't have drank from the spring because I would want to be part of the wheel instead of living forever. Just like th Tucks if I drank the spring then I would lose my friends and other special stuff. The spring will cause me to other people that I sold my soul to the devil. The point of view of Tuck made me think of this because I should listen to an adult instead of a young boy like Jesse.
