5A-SallyL.-TuckResponses


 * Tuck Everlasting Responses**

= = If I can live forever, wouldn't be living at the age of 11.I would like to live forever at the age of 3~6. Because I have longer time to sleep and I don't have to do lots of works.I would be happy for not getting into trouble even though I did something wrong because I fifth grade is a hard grade. There are lots of works to do and I can't sleep long.I would stay at the would be too young to understand things. I would also travel lots of places.I travel lots of places when I'm young.Since there won't be lots of time to travel because there won't be a time.
 * Prologue**

The author of the story says that only theh crust of the Earth is people's land but I disagree. If you paid for the land it means inside,too. For example, there was a hot spring in your land then it's yours because it's inside your land. So the land inside the earth is your land, too.
 * Chapter 1**

In the prologue, Mae Tuck went to the Treegap to see their sons. Miles and Jesse. Mae Tuck sees their children ever ten years so the setting is Treeegap. Mae forced Tuck to wake up so they can meet their children but Tuck doesn't because he had a good dream.He had a dream of his family in the heaven.
 * Chapter 2**

In the noon of the first week of August, Wnnie sits on the ground and talk with a toad about herslf. Winnie wants to have siblings so that her parents won't just say things to her.Parents will say to her sibilings,too.Since Winnie doesn't have sisters and brothers, Winnie doesn't have right to do anythings.She wants to have freedom.Winnie wants to do what she wants to do not just what her parents want Winnie do to.
 * Chapter 3**

In the prologue, stranger comes to the Fosters' gate and asks Winnie if you saw someone but the stranger doesn't says who.The stranger also asks other people." At the sunset of that same long day...'"
 * Chapter 4**

Jesse didn't let Winnie to drink the water otherwise Winnie would look same for lots of years and Winnie could know his family's secret. If I was Jesse, I would do the same thing as what Jesse did. I won't let her drink. She would look same for lots of years then and think she won't like it. Also I wouldn't want someone to know my secrets.
 * Chapter 5**

1. No. I think the author wrote that //**her backbone felt like a pipe full of cold running water**// to tell us that she was frightened by Tuck's family. They kidnapped her. It is more realistic to write like that. 2. I think Winnie didn't say anything when Tuck's family kidnapped her, Winnie could have thought that Tuck's family is nice or they don't look dangerous. If I'm Winnie I would have yelled because someone is kidnapping. What if that person is very bad??You never know so for our safety we should yell for help.
 * Chapter 6**

I think Jesse said that to make Winnie feel better or to make Winnie to understand this situation better. I think the plan in this quote means that other plan are mixed together and formed the plan.Or I think someone is making this for purpose. It could be the someone's plan.
 * Chapter 7**

Person who over heard Tuck's family's secret is a stranger who came to the treegap the day before. Person who said that he is looking for someone. The Stranger said he is looking at someone but he didn't tell who he is looking for. He also whistled by the music that was on in the Treegap.The stranger looked as he is going to make some troubles in the Treegap to me.
 * Chapter 8**

1.The author describe Tucks' house by the order of the house such as which rooms comes first. Tucks has 3 rooms. But Foster has more rooms than Tucks house.The Tucks eat food in the chairs instead of the table and they eat with hands instead of using forks and spoons. The Tucks never cleans their house as well.There are 5 rooms in my house. 2.There are some bad and good thing about thhings about living forever. We could get stressed. You want to die but you can't. Also, you have to move alot of times. You can do things in heaven instead of the ground so I think the spring water is a curse to Tucks.
 * Chapter 9&10**

I think Angus means they are not in the human cycle. Each person has there personal cycle. young -middle-old. But Tucks doesn't have any of those. I think Tuck doesn't like about eternal life because he wants his human cycle. He doesn't want to be different with other people and he wants to finish his human cycle.I think that third quote means it is their fate. They didn't wanted to live forever. It is just the way it is. They are not part of the human cycle anymore beacause the Tucks doesn't die or get older. So they are just the rock beside the road.They are nothing. I think Ma, Jesse, and Miles doesn't really care about living foever because they didn't do things like Angus. Angus did everything to make himself dead. He shot himself in purpose and he liked the dream about his family in the heaven. That tells that Angus really wants do die and Ma, Jesse, and Miles just take over thae fact that they are going to live forever.
 * Chapter 11&12**

//Listen, Ma and Pa and Miles, they don't know how to enjoy it, what we got. Why, heck, Winnie, life's to enjoy yourself, isn't it?"// I think that it means that they like each other and they could live together happily.The part that says they don't know ho to enjoy it, what we got means that people doesn't know how to enjoy it what Winnie and I(Jesse) got and we have to thank ourself for living forever or Winnie and Jesse couldn't have met each other. And the life is for enjoying. I think it could also mean that they wants to marry. Jesse said to Winnie that she should drink the spring water when she turns 17 so they could marry.
 * Chapter 14**

1) I think the yellow man is kind of a show-off because he said to Winnie's father that yellow suited man is the only one who knows where Winnie is and if Winnie's father wants to know where Winnie is, Winnie's father needs to give the wood to yellow suited man.Also, the yellow suited man was kind of mean that Winnie's father needs to give his precious wood to the man. Winnie's dad had the wood for lots of years but he needs to give the wood to a new man so I think the man is selfish. I also think that the yellow suited man is saying it like that he is forcing Winnie's dad to do it. 2) the stranger is reacting as same as he is reacting on Winnie's father. the constable doesn't get why the stranger is trying to hurry up hurry because the stranger said that he wants to hurry up but the constable doesn't want to hurry up since there were no crimes for last 15years. I think the yellow suited man said like that to check if Winnie is there with Tucks so the Yellow suited man so the stranger can have the Fosters' wood. If I'm the constable, I would ask a lit of questions such as how what you know about the Fosters and etc.It is strange if all of sudden the crimes appear amd why Fosters wants give the woods to the stranger.
 * Chapter 15&16**

1)Why didn't MIles take his family to the spring?? I think Miles didn't take his family to drink water because He didn't realize that the water makes you live forever when his family was in the farm. When Miles was trying to find his family, his wife was forty years old. His children's age is similiar to Miles' so It won't make sense if the children and father's age is similiar. Also, I think Miles didn't want his family to have eternal life as him. 2) What are some differences and similarties of the conversation between Winnie & Angus and Winnie and Miles?? I will first explain the similarties.The both two conversation was about the same topic : the spring. The differences are that Winnie and Angus talked about the eternal life and thar Angus thinks that the eternal life was a curse and how the Tucks are not part of the wheel anymore. The conversation between Winnie and Miles is that they were talking about Miles' family and Miles is going to do something important They also talked about the eternal life the Tucks have.
 * Chapter 17& 18**

1)No. because only person who should know the secret about the eternal life is the Tucks since they have eternal life. The yellow suited man wasn't supposed to know it but he know it. I can't trust him.He is ver disgraceful since he knows extra stuff that he needs to. 2)The constable said to Mae that if the yellow suited man dies, Mae would be in a danger but Tuck did not care because Mae won't die. She can never die since she drank the spring water which made Mae to have a eternal life. That is the reason why Tuck did not look back at her.If I was in the same situation as Tuck I would do as what he did because I knew that Mae won't die.
 * Chapter 19& 20**

In Australia, there are lots of bugs since the weather is hot all year around. I noticed a some kind of lizard but it was small. Anyways my brothers and a sister who stayed at my house saw that to. We wore our socks for protection and got some toys to kill the lizard. The lizard went up the ceiling and we were trying to catch it. I helped my brothers to kill the lizard and then my brothers and I hit the lizard and then It fell down to the sofa. I don't know what happened to the lizard but I think the lizard is dead now.I feel sorry for the lizard. Lizard have same opportunity with us. Lizard have same life with us. It like being a murder. I wish the lizard would be alive again.
 * Chapter 21**

I think Pa do not agree with Winnie about Mae escaping because he doesn't want Winnie to be involved in this situation. Pa did not want Winnie to be unconfortable and he did wanted to show that the Tucks can do it by themselves and do not need any help.My point of view to Winnie helping Mae to make escape is same as Pa's. It would be good if she would help but it is kind of embrassing if I wanted a girl to help me. Also, I would not want Winnie to feel uncomfortable with us.
 * Chapter 22**


 * Chapter 23& 24**

//"Stone walls do not a prison make, Nor iron bars a cage."//
I think this quote means that Even though there are stone walls and the iron bar it dies not make a prison. This quote come out when the Winnie and the Tucks are in the jail house. While Miles is trying to get Mae out of the prison and when Winnie is going in the prison, Winnie thinks about the quote.

If I am Winnie I wouldn't have drank the water even though I loved the Tucks because I wouldn't want my life to be ruined because of the Tucks. I want to be a normal life. I don't want to be greedy do drink the water and live more life than I 'm suposed to. Jesse would feel sad bcause Jesse really loves Winnie. also, Mae had hit the stranger because of Winnie. Mae was trying to save Winnie so that is why Mae hit the stranger.Angus and Miles took Winnie to the pond and told her some private things so thats some infulences that Winnie had to the Tucks.
