__Mock Trial__
 * 1) Do you think the trial and the outcome (result) were fair?
 * 2) How did you feel when the opposing party explained his/her point of view?
 * 3) How did playing your role make you feel?
 * 4) How would you change the trial if you could?
 * 5) Why is it important to examine and understand all points of view before making a decision?

1. Yes, I thought the outcome was fair. It was Kris' fault that he didn't look after his dog, and so he had to pay $500 to Lee. 2. Well, I listened to both concerns and I thought that Lee was being a bit too rough over his garden so after all, I felt bad for Kris. 3. When I played my role as a judge, I felt confused. I had to make rough choices on what the people in the situation should do. When I made my choices, Lee and Kris didn't think it was fair. 4. I would tell Kris to watch over his dog and Lee to build a fence. There would be no payments. 5. If you don't listen to points of views, you have no idea about how each person feels. As they explain their situation, you should imagine what you would do if you were that person.

Part1-Point of View songs Song 1: This song makes me feel very sleepy because the singer's voice is very dull and quiet. I want to sleep. Song 2: This song makes me feel dangerous because the guitar makes me feel scared and dangerous. The sudden beats make me feel like that. Song 3: This song makes me feel like I'm a queen because the music in the beginning sounds like the trumpets in movies. Song 4: This song makes me feel like I'm on a beach trying to fall asleep in the shade. It makes me feel weak like I can't do anything. Song 5: This song makes me feel like I'm beating up someone and that I am very mean like I'm a bully. I feel like I'm beating someone to death and they're dying. Song 6: This song makes me feel like I'm in a coffee shop in my mother's arms where she's hugging me and I feel as safe as possible. It makes me feel like someone's saying to me//"It's going to be okay".//

__Tuck movie/book comparison__ 1. 3 major differences from the book and the movie are that the toad doesn't come out as much as it did in the book. I thought the toad was important though. Another major difference is the plan was totally different and none of the things happened according to plan in the book. The final, major difference is that Tuck went to jail. It was only Mae that went to jail. Tuck helped Mae to escape with his sons and with Winnie. 2. I think the movie had these differences because the director maybe didn't like some parts of the book. Maybe the director wanted to make the movie more exciting. I think that the director just didn't seem to like some scenes in the book, so he changed it to however he wanted to. 3. I liked the book better. In my opinion, I think that every book version is much more better. I liked the book better because there was much more dialogue. I could draw pictures in my mind........but in the movie I see it with my own eyes. The book made me feel something, a feeling, a prediction, or a feeling where I was in that situation. In the movie, it just happened the way that I hadn't imagined. It was much more different! I like imagining things how I want them to be in my mind.

__Chapter 25 and Epilogue__ 1. I think that Babbitt is trying to say that now a new month is going to start and that soon everything is going to change: the Tucks, the weather, and the village. 2. I think that Mae and Tuck are glad that the spring is destroyed. They are glad because now there is no possibility that somebody else could be immortal. I am glad too because if everyone had eternal lives then it would be too crouded for forever! 3. I think that an epilogue is like a conclusion to a story. Babbitt included it to show the changes that happened in such a long time of period. The epilogue also shows the time of period in that story. She also included the epilogue so we can see how Winnie's village changed and what happened to the frog.

__Chapter 24__ 1. First the weather is hot and very dark in the middle of August. Then the weather turns very, super hot and there is n rain in ages. After, it starts to rain then lightning, then in to thunder. 2. I think that the weather has to do with the important event. The important event is getting Mae out of the prison. And, on that very same day there is a storm. Storms can be very noisy. So Miles, the exellent carpenter, unscrews the jail bars and while the storm makes noise he takes her out. That was such a perfect plan!

__Chapter 23__ 1. Winnie feels bored, excited and she is waiting for midnight to come, I know this because on page 118, it says, she lay on her bed, counted the ticks of the hall clock. And it also says the book itself that she was full of excitement right on the next sentence. Another feeling is that she feels guilty. Her parents found her, but she's gonna run away again. I can prove this by looking on page 118 again, it says that all though she was excited she felt guilty. She feels guilty for trying to run away again, but she also wants to help Mae. 2. One time I had this feeling too but in a much more different way. I was excited to see my friend and I was bored waiting and waiting for so long. I also felt guilty because I lied to my other friend that this friend wasn't coming. I said that just to not make her jealous. Anyway, I felt very bad when I lied to her.

__Chapter 21 and 22__ 1. Hi Winnie, I think that if your heart really loves Jesse and his family, then you must go with your heart. You will have a happier life with the people that you love. Hey Winnie, I think that you should maybe runaway with the Tucks or tell your family the truth. I think that you should tell your family and one day run off somewhere far so your family finally gives up. Well, I hope you take my advice and see you someday soon. Yours Truly, Linette 2. So in the middle of the night, Miles, a good carpenter, is going to use his tools to get Mae out. Then Winnie is going to take Mae's place so that the Tucks have enough time to runaway. I think it's a good plan because if everybody knows it's a disaster and the plan would've been for nothing. But, soon if the constable finds out he'll start to look for her.

__Chapter 19 &21__ 1. I don't agree with the man in the yellow suit. When he says and for me, that shows me that he is being selfish. He is being very rude to the Tucks by saying that they don't deserve eternal life. I was glad that he was hit though. Hes trying to make money without realizing all the problems that could happen. 2. I think that Tuck looked that way because if she didn't die in the gallows, then the secret could be revealed. Tuck was worried about that, and it meant that everything wasn't going to be okay. If I was in his situation, I would try to stop the constable from taking Mae, if the constable is stopped then everything could be fine. I think that I would feel hopeless too because there is no way to stop the constable without hurting him.

__Chapter 18__ I think that Babbitt wrote these two events in the same chapter because she wanted us to see that now Winnie wanted to live with them, become a family member. I think that these two events are connected because first, Winnie felt horrified and wanted to go home, she was happy that the man in the yellow suit saw her and he would tell her family. But, now she realizes that she loves the Tucks and that they belong to her. So, now she doesn't want to go home and she's sure that the Tucks aren't bad people at all.

__Chapter 17__ 1a. 1 similarity is that Winnie understands them both. Another is that they are both using examples of their situation with nature. They both explain on how drinking from the spring made their lives unhappy. 1b. Miles is explaining about his kids and how old they probably are now, But Tuck is saying that he hates life and how drinking from the spring is not all good. Tuck is really expressing his feelings and Miles is telling as he smiles. 2. Miles' family didn't drink from the spring because he didn't know when he lived with his family he didn't know that he could live forever, it was too late when they had left.

__Chapter 16__ I think that the constable talks about gallows because he might or will hang the Tucks. He might do that because they stole, and kidnapped a little girl. So he might hang them. Even though he hangs them they won't die.......

__Chapter 15__ 1. We learn that the man in the yellow suit is not a very nice guy and that there is something that hooks me in the way he looks and acts. He is very strange because on page 74 saying "he sighed, lifting his eyebrows and smiling again"."he sighed, lifting his eyebrows and smiling again". That is showing me that he is a sly person in a way and a mean person in a way. Another example is on page 75 saying " I want the wood and you want the child, it's a trade, a simple clear-cut trade". I want the wood and you want the child, it's a trade, a simple clear-cut trade". That is showing that he is being very rude, I mean if a little girl is captured he should just alert them, not give a heartbreaking trade, it's unfair. 2. I think he wants to make this deal with the Fosters because he wants to sell the spring and be a rich man with lots of fortune. 3. I think Babbitt put only dialogue for the stranger because she wants us to know more about the stranger and because she wants to show us that he is ignoring the Fosters. I think that she is also kind of showing us his personality that he is mean, sly looking and very rude.

__Chapter 14__ She feels confused because the Tucks kidnapped her and she thinks that they are criminals, but they are so nice and they care for her so much. She likes Jesse and his family, but they are criminals which make her feel very confused. These thoughts should be very complicated for a 10 year old girl. The thing is that she likes them but she thinks that they're bad.

__Chapter 13__ I think the stranger stole Tuck's horse because he needed to tell Winnie's family that he had seen her. So he stole the horse to get there. Another reason is that he knows that the horse lives forever and he wants to maybe examine it so he can live forever.

__Chapter 12__ He tries to make her understand how he feels by telling her that they were a part of the wheel. But then he says that he was the rowing boat that could not move, he says that he is no longer part of the wheel. He means that life is like a simple, spinning wheel, but his life stops like the rowing boat and it's now very complicated like he's not part of the simple, spinning wheel anymore. He also says that if people found out and drank it, they would regret it very soon.

__Chapter 11__ I think when Tuck says"I never thought we'd come to the place where we'd be scaring children" he means that he never thought that his family would scare children in any day. He thinks that since Winnie felt bad, that his own family was scaring her.

__Chapter 10__ I think that it is a curse. Living forever must be painful to think about. Mae, Tuck and Miles aren't that happy with the fact. Jesse is though. I also think it's a curse because living forever is not a good thing. You suffer more if you live forever, so it is a curse. It is not a blessing.

__Chapter 9__ The Tucks talk like this because they were living for eighty seven years. It was the old kind of talk. It shows me that since Jesse figured out at age 17, he stopped school. Miles too. Mae and Tuck were living a long, long time ago, more than a special person can live.

__Chapter 8__ At the end of the chapter we learned that the man in the yellow suit heard what the Tucks said. We were all surprised and we had a bad feeling about him. When he comes out, you always want to read more and the story hooks you. He now knows the Tuck's secret. He came out 3 times. I guess that afterwards in the story, we will find out more about that misterious weird man.

__Chapter 7__ Jesse means that his dad thinks that makig them live forever was a new way of life. People who live forever just living until the earth ends. The plan could have meant that it was a plan to make somebody live forever but it didn't work out too good because maybe it wasn't meant for them or they don't want to live forever anymore. The bubbling spring was just a spring to drink in the forest years ago. When they drank it just happened and didn't even now. when they realized it they went crazy.

__Chapter 6__ I think that this quote is a metaphor because it is comparing two things the back of Winnie and cold running water. There wasn't really cold water running down her back, it is an expression showing that she felt scared and shocked. One example is "disconnected thoughts presented themselves one by one, as if they had been waiting their turn in line"(p.32) It is a personification and Babbitt is trying to tell us that all these thoughts suddenly popped to her head telling her each thought one by one like waiting in line. Another example is "Winnie, now that the running was over, began to comprehend what was happening, and with the comprehension her throat closed and her mouth went dry as paper"(p.34) It is a simile and Babbitt is trying to tell us that her mouth just closed up she couldn't talk like paper.

__Chapter 5__ These are 3 senses that I found in chapter 5. sound: It says that there was a sound of silence in the cottage in which the sun began to rise, found on page 22. touch: It says that the feeling was hot and breathless in the heavy morning, found on page 23. smell: It says that the wood smelled agreeably damp while the air was cooler, found on page 23.

__Chapters 2,3 and 4__ Chapters 2,3 and 4 are connected to the prologue because in the prologue, it mentions the 3 events in just about a page, but in these chapters, each event is in each chapter. These events are not connected by a story, but they are connected by telling us the same events in the prolgue. So, Babbitt is trying to hook us in the prologue. In the prologue you would say, what's the connection in these events? So, you would keep reading and when you get your answer you would go like ohhh! Babbitt is good at describing and hooking readers. When you start reading, there's no possibility of abandoning the book, well maybe for younger kids who don't understand.

__Chapter 1__ In chapter 1, Natalie Babbitt shows how she feels about land ownership by saying that it's odd. She's wondering how much a person or family owns a land. Do they own the whole part of it or just part of it? I think the person that bought it should own it until the core, not just the crust. If you just owned the crust then somebody else could own the land beneath you which is unfair. If anyone disagreed then it would be unfair. If you catch someone planting or doing anything else in your garden then say," You could have asked for permission!" A person should ask for permission to do anything in somebody else's land.

__Prologue__ I would choose not to live forever because I want to experience college and having my own family. If I lived forever, my family would get old and die. It would be a tragic event if I had to visit their grave if I missed them. I would rather die of old age too and join them in heaven. It wouldn't be a sad, depressing life if I could be with my family forever. It goes the same with all my friends.

Social Studies __Linette's favorite Confucius quote__ I liked the quote "respect yourself and others will respect you"-Confucius. I like this quote because it makes a lot of sense to me. I agree that if you respect who you are, then others will respect you. I also think it means that if you be yourself, then you will get more friends and you will be grateful that you've been yourself.
