 Question #1:If you could live forever, staying at the age that you are now, would you choose to live forever? Why or why not? Even though I can live forever, staying at the age that I am now, I wouldn't want to live forever because, I will see alot of family members die, and alot of friends die. So if I only live forever, I would be very lonely without family members and friends. Even though you have a new friend, they will soon die too. If human-being extinct, I would be very lonely with only animals on Earth, and if that really happens, I wouldn't be able to cook so I will starve. Then I would rather die, not living forever. Another reason I don't want to live forever, is that if your family members die, I wouldn't have any more money to survive. So I have to work, but if I can't or don't work, that's the worst part. Living without money causes alot of problems. For example, I would starve because I couldn't eat, but I wouldn't die so the illness will go forever, and if I get sick, I would be sick forever. So I wouln't like to live forever. Enough is the best!!!  Question #2:In the prologue, the author describes three things that happen on one day and seem unrelated. What are the three things? The three things that happened on one day that seems it doesn't have any connection together are at dawn, Mae Tuck set out on her horse for the wood at the edge of the village of Treegap. She did that once every ten years to meet her sons, Miles and Jesse. At noontime, Winnie Foster, whose family owned the Treegap wood, lost her patience at last and decided to think about running away. At sunset, a stranger appered at the Fosters' gate. The stranger was looking for someone, but he didn't say who he was looking for.

Question #1: The author's views about the land ownership in this chapter are that there were no road though the woods, because somebody already owned it. My feelings about land ownership are not a good idea, because it is unfair fot the people who doesn't own lands, because they can't walk on it or plant somethings on the other people's land.  Question #2: The reasons why it may have been a disaster if the spring had been discovered by people are because people might want to own the spring. Another reason is that some people wants to live forever so they might own the spring. The another reason is that they might drink it all or they might take all of the springs. Also if they sell the spring, they will earn alot of money.

Question #1: If I can start fresh, making my own decisions about my life, first I would change my playing rules, school homework, and I wish the school didn't have alot of half days or just having a day off. Right now my playing rules are: Do all of your homework and read 1 hour then have freetime. I want to change it into: Do your homework and then have freetime! Then it would be fantastic!! Doing the homework but, also having fun!! I think thats the most of the kids' wish. What I want to change about the school homework is that at least only two tests in one week and having 4 homeworks for maximum a day. I want that to happen because if I have more homework than that, I have too much homework. And last but not least, I really wish that the school ony had few half days and having few day offs. I know it's strange. Most of the students wants dat offs and half days. I want that to happen because the time we are having a day off or the half day, we are wasteing our studing time for our collage or anything. So I wish that happens~ I think thats it for making my own decisions.

Chapter 4 Question #1:Winnie was in the yard catching the fireflies as the stranger approched to the Foster's gate. Question #1:Winnie was in the yard catching the fireflies as the stranger approched to the Foster's gate.  Question #2: Winnie's grandmother come down the path to the Foster gate, because she heard Winnie and the stranger talking together. Question #3: Winnie and her grandmother have different views about what is making the music. Winnie says that the music box is singing, and her grandmother says the elf is singing the music.  Question #4: My first impression of this stranger was that the stranger was really friendly, because he talks and askes questions friendly. 

Chapter 5 Question #1: Jesse refuses to let Winnie drink from the bubbling spring, because he knew that if Winnie tells the secret of the spring to the other people, they'll try to drink the spring. I would have let Winnie drink the spring unless she tells everyone the secret of the spring. The reasons I would have let her drink the spring are that I would like to have a friend living with me forever. Also my other reason that I would let her to drink the spring is that she is very thirsty, so just in case she doesn't die without the water. 

Question #1: Winnie didn't call for help, when they came across the stranger along the road, because the stranger was far away behide that time, and she was afraid to let go of the saddle, because she might fall off from the horse. So she didn't call for help because she was afraid. If I was Winnie, I wouldn't call for help because if I did, the stranger might come to us and ask where are they taking her. Than everyone will know about the secret of the spring. Another reason is that also her parents will know that their dauther is gone and her 'running away' plan will be distroyed. Question #2: She used simile on the quote, because she added 'like' in the quote. The cold water wasn't running down her backbone. She was trying to say that Winnie's heart pounded so fast like a running water. She was kind of nervous too.  1.Disconnected thoughts preesnted themselves one by one, as if they had been waiting their turn in line. (pg 32) The author was trying to say that they were saying things that are not connected. 2.....grubby shirt with as much self-assurance as if they were silk and satin. (pg 25) The author is trying to say that the boy acted as if the shirt was made out of silk, but it was a gribby shirt for real. 
 * //__Chapter 6__//**

Question #1: Tuck Everlasting started not so long ago. The road had 'easy angles' made by cows, because really 'relaxed' cows made that road. The important things here are 'first house', the 'road', and the 'wood', The look of the first house is suggested you'd better pass by and also the look of the woods too. The house was very 'proud of itself'. It was clean, neat, and looked like the house that was just made. The wood were peaceful, and looks like as if the wood are sleeping. In the woods there is a bubbling spring in the clearing and pebbles plied up above. Question #2: Jesse means that the plan for the spring didn't work out too good for them. It was supposed to be a normal spring for people to drink, but it didn't.This plan could be a plan that the spring makers make and messed up into a bad living forever spring. So the bubbling spring were a magical messed up spring. That is why Jesse's Pa says that it's something left over. I can't really say that it's messed up but left-over. The bubbling spring is a plan for the spring to mess up magicaly. 
 * //__Chapter 7__//**

Question #1: The stranger with the yellow suit heard the secret of the spring. The actions of the stranger that created suspence are that at the last sentence, his mouth turned ever so slightly toward a smile. He was hiding in the bush and listened everything behind it, and he fllowed the Tuck family and Winnie, but nobody noticed. 
 * //__Chapter 8__//**

Question #1: I think the Tucks talk like that because they didn't go to the school because they live forever. I think this way it tells you there personaility by talking like that because usually you can tell people's personaility by talking in their way. For example, Ji-Soo speak quiet and calm, so that is why she is calm and quiet!! So I think the Tucks are really the opposite way of Ji-Soo, June or maybe me.... Another reason is that if people talk like that, they are usually tuff, active, and not quiet. So I think the Tucks are active, not quiet, and maybe tuff. 
 * __//Chapter 9//__**

Ms.Bedard, you didn't send me a mail. Question #1: Babbitt descirbes Tucks' home as a dirty, unprepared for Winnie, and very careless home. It is different from Winnie's house because, Winnie's house is opposite from the Tucks' house. For example, she says that the Tucks' house is unprepared for Winnie because it was so different from her house. So it means Winnie's house is clean, neat, nice, and in good orders. It is also different from my house because its ok to me when a mouse comes out, but i don't like spiders in the house and I HATE THEM!!!! I don't want wabs, dust, and other stuff that the Tucks have in there house except mouse. I LOVE ANIMALS INSTEAD. Also my parents would hate to have dusts in their house. ESPECIALLY MY DAD!!! My dad is very neat, hates dirty stuffs, so it is very different from our house. Some quotes from the book that discribes the Tucks' house are ' There was no room for carelessness, no putting things off until later.' and a another quote is ' It was a whole new idea to her that people could dissarry, but at the same time she was charmed. I was comfortable.'
 * //__Chapter 10__//**

uestion #1: What the Tuck meant when he said, " I got a feeling this whole thing is going to come apart like wet bread." were that the plan will brake in a sudden time. Question #2: 1.(pg 60) ...and its double trembled on the surface of the pond like color spilled from a paintbox. The author was trying to explain how much the surface of the pond were trembling as if they were spilled from a paint box. (simile) 2.(pg 60) ... tall grasses whispering away from its sides, releasing it. The author was trying to explain that the grasses were sounding as if they were whispering. (personification) 3.(pg 63) ... like the flame of a candle, and no use protesting. The author was trying to explain that you would just be off like a candle's flame. (simile) 4.(pg 64) ... they'd all come running like pigs to slops. The author was trying to explain how people would run crazy, excited and fast like pig to slops. (simile) 5.(pg 65) ... the sound of the water rolling in her ears. The author was trying to explain that the sound of the water was moving and going around in her ears. (persnification)
 * //__Chapter 11, 12__//**

Question #1: The Tucks' think about eteral life are bad, sad and bored. In the third quote he means that everything is passing you but you are not moving so you are staying there forever. If I compare Angus' feeling and Mae's they're feelings are similar. Angus' and miles are WAY different, because M<iles doesn't care about it and Tuck are stressed out about it. If I compare Angus and Jesse feeling, Jesse is kind of serious, and ok about it. Question #2:If the Tucks came to our town, I might meet them in the 'GS Mart', and they would be buying food and stuff in there. Miles, and Jesse would be reading in the reading center. I would recognaiz them by their looking and their body. I would recongnaiz them by their looking because they never change, also I can recongnaiz by their body by not having blood or hurt.( If I meet them alot I would know.)
 * //__Chapter 13-14__//**

Ms.Bedard, I accedently erased all of this so I copyed my work. ok??

//__Chapter 15__// //Question #1:// We learn that the stranger told Winnie's parent where Winnies is and ha is kind of bragging. He is also helping to find Winnie for the Fosters. He is a bragger and a bad person. It was the opposite of what I thought of him. //Question #2:// I think he want to make his deal with the Fosters, because he wants to drink the spring with permission and make the Tucks don't drink it. I think he is jealous of them. I think he wants to make them believe him, and make a crime. //Question #3:// I think Babbitt didn't put sentences for the Fosters, becaues she wan't to tell more about the stranger, or to let us guess first and find it out later in the book or trying to make us more wan't to read this book.

//Question #1:// In this chapter the constable talks about the gallows. I think Babbitt makes the constable talk about the gallows because to tell that they can kill the Tucks. Thepossible hints that I think Babbitt is trying to give us about what could happen to the Tucks in the furture are that the Tucks will get in trouble. Since the Tucks live forever, they woudn't die even though they put them in the gallows.
 * //__Chapter 16__//**

//Question #1:// Winnie's conversation with Miles is similar to the conversation with Angus. I thought it was similar because they both give us some examples what they think about living forever. The ones that we would never think of to explain. They were also different because they gave you the different kinds of examples to explain one thing. Angus compares with the wheel, but Miles give didn't talk about wheel. Miles worried about age. //Question #2:// Miles didn't have his family drink from the spring because he didn't relize about the spring while he was still on thr farm. He was tryig to find them but because of his family's age, he didn't. His wife was 40 years old and their children was almost the same age as Miles. Miles thought their age was weird to live forever, so he just didn't make them drink from the spring.
 * //__Chapter 17__//**

//__**Chapter 22-23**__// //Question #1:// Their plan to help Mae was to take the window out of her jail and get her out of there. Bad thing about that plans is that the constable would notice that Mae had disappeared so he'll leave the jailto find her. Also Winnie volunteers to come in the jail and act as if she is Mae. She would make her back big so she lookes like Mae, and she would wrap around her with Mae's blanket to cover herself. Then Miles can put the window back on. After that, they have time to run away. I think its not a good plan because if Winnie gets in the jail, it is hard for her to get out of there. So it would be a good idea for the Tucks, but bad for Winnie, so I think it is not a good idea. //Question #2:// The emotion that Winnie had at the same time was when Winnie waits for midnight to come. She feel guilt, and to her it seems that everything is waiting.(Which is same as her.) I felt this emotion whenever I wait for something that I would like to come fast. This once happened to me when my cousin was born and I was going to see her tomorrow. Some quotes from the book are 'Everything, it seemed waiting.' and '...she was thick with guilt.'

//Question #1:// The weather in the beginning of the chapter, was stormy. the lightning made the sky white, then the breeze blew gently lifted Winnie's hair. That meant the storm was not far away from them. Then.. a lightning then.. a LOUD THUNDER!!! After again a lightning then a crash in the sky. Then the first drop of rain tapped on Winnie's tip of her nose. When the thunder came, it looked like as if the thunder had tore the sky apart. Now the rain was coming to the direction of the wind... Then the lightning cracked. The thunder strarted to shake the little building. The rain blew into her face, then at last the rain and the wind didn't come down for a moment. //Question #2:// The weather in this chapter is connected to the major event because the weather is same as Winnie's feeling. Winnie's feelings are worried, and too eager. Also the storm is kind of eagered. I think that because that wind seems like as if they're hurrying, and eager with the rain. Lightning always come right before the thunder. So the lightning looks as if its warning you that the thunder is coming. That describes part of the worrying part.
 * //__Chapter 24- Epilogue__//**

'What if the window would never come out?? 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.' is the quote that describes the part when she worries. ' Rain blew into her face, but at the next flash of lightning, looking down, she saw that the yard was empty.' That quote describes the feeling of eager. //Question # 3:// In the epilogue, we learn about that the spring is gone. I think Tuck and Mae felt kind of sad thinking that they can't drink the spring anymore. I would also feel that way because you are used to the spring and its gone next time I come. Well, so I think Tuck and Mae would be really sad and want for the spring back again.

__**//Book and movie comparison//**__ The 3 major part that was different between the book and the movie are that in the book, when Winnie gets kidnapped, Mae was also there to kidnap her, and also the book doesn't tell you that Miles forgot to let Jesse ride on to the horse. In the book, only Mae goes in the jail, but in the movie, Tuck also goes into the jail too. The last major event are that when they try to save Tuck, and Mae, the book doesn't talk about Miles and Jesse getting shot and then coming back alive. In the book they tell you that they save Mae from the window.

The reason that I think the book and the movie are different are that becaues Nattile Babbitt actually didn't make the movie. Also another reason I think that they are different are that because some people heard from other people, not from the book or Babbitt fixed what she wrote. We read the book, so we know the story that Babbitt wrote. Well, some people read the book and told the story to there friends or their family members. Also Babbitt might have wrote the book long time ago, so some people read that day, and Babbitt re-wrote the book. So the movie and the book is not the same.

I like the book better, because Babbitt tells you more detailes about something. For example, she explains more about the house. Also she tells more detailes about when the Tucks and Winnie tries to let Mae out of the jail, tells more about the story about Miles family's story. Also you can make your own looking of everthing that she talkes about. So you don't have to know that Winnie looks like that do the Tucks looking like that. So I like the book better than the movie.
