__Twisted Nursery Rhymes__
__Hey Diddle Diddle__ Hey diddle diddle, the feline and the violin, The bovine leapt over the moon. The dimunuative canine giggled to observe such merriment And the dish scurried away with the spoon!

__Little Jack Horner__ Miniature Jack Horner hunkerd in the corner Munching his Christmas pie, He poked in his thumb and tugged out a plum And exclaimed,"What a good boy am I!"

__Little Boy Blue__ Petite Boy Blue come toot your horn, The caprinae's in the meadow the bovine's in the corn. But where's the boy who obeserves the caprinae? He's under a haystack fast asleep. Will you wake him? No, not I - for if I do, he's sure to wail

__Prologue__
==No, I would not choose to live forever at the age I am now (that would be 10). For if my parents died I would not be able to survive on my own because I would look to young to get a job. Besides if everyone in the world were immortal, and no one died then the Earth would become overcrowded and we would run out of food and water.==

__Chapter 1__ Babbitt wonders about whether land ownership goes down all the way to the Earths core or is it is just a crust "under which the friendly worms have never heard of trespassing." I think that Babbitt was wondering how far down land ownership goes into the Earth. I think land ownership is only a crust "under which friendly worms have never heard of trespassing." I dont see how someone could own the Earth's core because it was there way before humans were.

__Chapters 2,3,4__
==The Prologue is connected to these chapters because by using increments in time she divides a day into chapters. These chapters have a very brief intro in the prologue. I think this kind of made people keep reading and also it makes people go back and think about what they've read. I think Babbitt used this technique because it is an interesting writing style and like I said it makes people think.==

__Chapter 5__ //Smell:// Page 23. Winnie thinks the air in the wood is smells pleasantly damp and refreshing //Sight:// Page 24//.// Winnie sees little flowers that she does not recognize. They were," white and palest blue." I know I'm not aloud to copy put it puts such a lovely picture in my mind. //Sound:// Page 24.In the wood Winnie says she hears the air humming with morning activity as beetles, ants, and birds going about their business.

__Chapter 6__
==1. It is a simile. No. Babbitt is trying to say that Winnie is scared and a bit surprised. Not sure. 2. I think she did not do anything because she was to stunned and surprised. I probably wouldn't because I would rather stay with the Tucks than the Fosters.==

__Chapter 7__ I think the 'plan' might have been something like making everyone immortal and then stop reproducing. The spring might have been a test location to see if the 'plan' would work.

__Chapter 8__
==The man in the yellow suit (lets just call him MYS) overheard the whole entire story. MYS always turns up in unlikely places such as standing at the side of the road as the Tucks and Winnie are leaving the wood in Chapter 6. MYS's actions also make you suspicious like the time he asked Winnie about the family he was looking for and then smiling as he walked away in Chapter 4.==

__Chapter 9__ I think they talk like this because they might not have gone to college. Also they lived (in this story) in the late 1800's to early 1900's and the way they talk was common in the early 1800's. The Tucks were frozen in time in the early 1800's so they probably speak the same way as when they were frozen in time. What this tells us about their characters is that they have been around for a long time and will stay around for a long time.

__Chapter 10__
==I think it is a curse because you would have to move a lot so people dont get suspicious. Besides it only says you wont //die// it does not say you can not get //sick.// Therefore, you would suffer a lot say the world got blown apart you would be floating through space without air but unable to die.==

__Chapter 11__ When Tuck says "I got a feeling this whole thing is going to come apart like wet bread" I think it means that kidnapping Winnie is going to be discovered and someone is going find out about the secret of the spring.

__Chapter 12__
==Tuck explains life like a wheel. It begins when you are born and ends when you die. He says that they (the Tucks) have dropped off the wheel, stopped growing. He says that if he could he would jump back on the wheel and keep going if he could. He said that many people dont realize they will regret it until they do it and cant change it.==

__Chapter 13__ I think the stranger took the Tucks horse to prove the Tucks are immortal and to see were the Tuck's house is so the horse would lead him and the Fosters.

__Chapter 14__
==She thinks the Tucks are criminals for kidnapping her, correct? However, they are taking great care to make sure she is comfortable, Tuck comes out and offers to stay up until Winnie goes to sleep. Also she is greatly confused because Jesse asks her to marry him and is kind of encouraging her to drink the spring water when she is 17.==

__Chapter 15__ 1.He puts words in the Fosters mouth for pretty much the whole chapter, also on the first page of the chapter he puts up his hand to stop the Fosters from talking as if he was in charge. 2. He knows that the Fosters will give him the wood because they want their daughter back. He could sell the spring water, he could drink some of the water, get an assistant have the assistant drink some water and set up a fair shooting the assistant and doing fatal things to him. 3. I think she did this to show how pushy the man in the yellow suit (MYS) is. MYS put words in the Fosters mouths, and pretended to actually have a conversation with the Fosters.

I think I think it might be foreshadowing about what could happen to the Tucks because that might be the punishment for kidnapping.
__Chapter 17__ __1a.__ It was the same because it was also about the spring and never ending life. __1b.__ It was different because it was less formal and heavy. And it wasnt just about promising not to tell about the spring it was also about the effect on Miles' life. __2.__ Miles didnt have his family drink from the spring because he did not know about it and if he found them know they would be as old as he. That would be weird a kid being the same age as his father.

__Chapter 18__
==I think now she was loyal to the Tucks before she would have rushed to the man in the yellow suit and said "//save me take me away from these lying kidnappers.//" but now she might want to protect them and defend them and say "//I dont want to leave these people didnt kidnap me I wanted to come and I have had fun."//==

__Chapter 19__ No I do not agree with the man in the yellow suit.(MYS) MYS is not thinking about what would happen to the Earth if all the people live forever and is not listening to what the Tucks and Winnie are saying.

Tuck is looking longingly at MYS because he is probably going to die and Tuck really wants to die. I would feel the same way as Tuck if I hadnt changed for the last 87 years.
__Chapter 21__ I would tell Winnie that yes Mae probably was not feeling sorry because if the man in the yellow suit had lived he would have followed through with his plan to sell the spring water. I would tell her to go back to Tucks and think of a plan with the Tucks.

__Chapter 22__
==Miles is going to pull out the bars in Mae's jail cell window and then Winnie is going to switch places with Mae so the constable wont know she is gone. I do think it is a good plan because it thinks of almost everything that could go wrong.==

__Chapter 23__ __1.__Winnie was restless. "Winnie wandered restlessly about her room"pg. 118. Winnie is feeling tired."Winnie fell asleep" pg.119. __2.__When I was first flying back from Korea for my first time and we were stuck in LA with a five hour lay over. I was grumpy, tired, and restless waiting for our plane to arrive.

__1.__In the begining of the chapter the air was heavy and dry, in the end of the chapter it is raining and there is a thunder and lighting storm going on.
==__2.__ In the begining the mood is heavy and they air feels heavy people are worrying "the window - what if it was to small for her to squeeze through?"pg. 124 In the end it is rainy and the Tucks escape and the ground relaxes it is no longer brick and Winnie relaxes the Tuck are probably relaxed to and happy. Proof:"The muscles of her stomach loosened, and all at once she was exhausted." pg.126.==

__Chapter 25 & Epilogue__ 1. I think she is trying to tell us that the weather is getting colder. __2.__ I think Mae and Tuck think that it is good because now no-one can get to the spring to drink it. I feel the same way as the Tuck's now it can not be accesed or sold. __3.__ I think an Epilogue is the concluding part of a novel. I think she put it there becuse you want to know what happens to the Tucks. However, if she just put it as Chapter 26 it would not make sense because Chapter 26 would be 70 years after Chapter 25.

__1d.__The plan to get Mae (and Tuck) out of jail is completely different.
==__2.__ I think there are these differences because a movie has to be more exciting. For example the plan in the movie to rescue Mae and Tuck is much more interesting also if the Tucks lived up in the hills then it would waste valuable time travelling when they could have had MYS relentlessly tracking the Tucks creating suspense.== ==__3.__ I liked the book better because the movie was a bit gross and Miles was so mean in the movie and Winnie was to old to relate to. Winnie was 14 almost 15 in the movie to old for my tastes of a playmate. Also the book was much funnier, the movie edited out some of the funniest lines in the movie. In the begining MYS says to Winnie's grandma " Its lovely to see you looking so fit." Then Winnie's grandma says "And why shouldnt I be fit?" I dont know why that is funny it just is.HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa==

__Songs__ //Song 1:// This music makes me feel tired because it is country so I feel like I am in the middle of nowere about a 100 years ago. //Song 2:// This music makes me feel frustrated becuse of the way the singers are yelling and carying on. //Song 3:// This music makes me feel soothed, calm, and relaxed because it is slow and not garing like #2 //Song 4:// This music gives me a headache! For the singer's voice is so whiny and the guitar too. //Song 5:// This music makes me feel mad and confused the way the singers are raping so loud and their words dont make sense //Song 6:// This music makes me feel safe and cozy. The way the mucician is playing feels warm also a lot of my mooms friends play jazz so I feel comfortable.**
