5A-JessicaK-TuckResponses


 * Tuck Everlasting Responses**

//Prologue//

I wouldn't like to live forever in this age. I would want to be the age of 22. The reason is that if I'm the same age I'm right now, but my really age is 22 people wouldn't believe you until you show your passport or prove. If your 22 the people would think your young and you can go to concerts where singers sing, but if your this age the people will think you're to young to watch the concert. These are my reasons.

//Chapter One//

Natalie Babbitt asks if, when you buy a land do you get to own the land until the center of the Earth's crust or not. In my view I think you don't get to own the land until the center of the Earth because if you own a piece of land on Earth other people who take out water from the Earth for us to drink water, shower, brushing your teeth, etc. they need to pump the water out, but if other people own land and there isn't any land left for other people you can't just pump out water from someone else's property. These are my reasons.

//Chapter Two//

Natalie Babbitt, the author, described the setting by first describing what time of the day it is like afternoon, morning, evening, etc. Then she describes the month.

//Chapter Three//

The author of __Tuck Everlasting__ describes the setting by the time of the day like the one above. After she describes the time of the she describes the month or day.

//Chapter Four//

In chapter four the author tells us the day was a long day. Then,she tells us what time of the day it is like sunset, evening, afternoon, etc. In this case the author used sunset.

//Chapter Five//

Jesse tells Winnie not to drink the water because if you drink the water you will live forever like Jesse. If I was Jesse I would do the same thing because if you drink the water at a young age and you try to get a job and you say to the person your age is 20 they wouldn't believe you because you look like a 5th grader.

//Chapter Six//

1. No there wasn't really cold water running down her backbone. I think the author is trying to say Winnie was afraid when Mae and Miles started talking to her.//"...though her heart was pounding and **her backbone felt like a pipe full of cold running water**, her head was fiercely calm."(page 32)//

2. I think Winnie didn't wave, shout, or do something because maybe she knew him well.I would do the same thing as Winnie because if you waved and the person just rejected you will kind of be embarrassed.

//Chapter Seven//

I think Jesse means this scientist or someone tried to clean the Earth's water at one time, but the person couldn't defeat it and made the water into bubbling water.

//Chapter Eight//

The person who heard the secret is the stranger in the yellow suit. The stranger made the suspense and tensions by a smile at the end of the chapter.

//Chapter nine and ten//

1. Babbit said the Tuck's house has three room and there was a black stove. At Winnie's house there is a fence outside and is large. In my house I have four rooms and in our kitchen there is a oven ,and there isn't any huge fences around our house. 2. I kind of agree with Mae about the Spring water. I think it is a blessing and a curse because if you are trying to kill yourself for a reason or something you can't die even though you want to because you all ready drank the Sping water.

//Chapter Eleven and Twelve//

Angus doesn't like eternal life because if you try to die you can't. //"We just **are**, we just **be**, like rocks beside the road."// Angus means that if your a rock beside the road you can't move because rocks don't move by their self and you will be in the same spot. Mae, Jesse, and Miles thinks eternal life isn't really fun but, it is okay to be eternal life.

//Chapter Fourteen

"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?"// this comes out on page 72. Jesse suggests to drink the spring water when Winnie is 17 and they can get married plus travel around the world. I think Winnie's response is going to be yes because when Winnie first saw Jesse in the woods she lost her heart at once. I will say no because if you want to die, you can't because you drank the spring water. And if the world end you would be alive and it will be scary to be alive when everyone else passed away. (Except the Tucks)

//Chapter Fifthteen and Sixteen//

1. I think the man in the yellow suit's behavior is that he just thinks about the woods and the spring water. I think he doesn't even care about Winnie, Mr. and Mrs. Foster, and the Tucks. And he just made the deal by his self without Mr. and Mrs. Foster's opinoin. 2//.// When the man in the yellow suit went to the Tuck's house it sounded like he was showing off at the people. And the constable didn't do his job for 15 years because there was no causes for 15 years and the constable is very lazy. I think the man in the yellow suit told the constable that he will go earlyer then him because he doesn't want the Fosters to find Winnie first because if the Fosters find her first the Fosters wouldn't give the woods to the man in the yellow suit. But, if he finds her first he can get the woods. I think that is why the man in the yellow suit wants to get to the place earlier then the constable.

//Chapter Seventeen and Eighteen//

1. Miles didn't take his family to the spring water because they were at the farm and they didn't think about the spring water. If I drank it already I will take my family to the spring because if they didn't drink and they died I will be sad and scaried so I will take them to the spring water. If I didn't know about the spring water and I didn't drink the water I wouldn't take my family and my-self to the spring water. 2. The two conversation are similar because Angus and Miles are both talking about living forever and what you will do during the whole time. They are different because Angus doesn't really like the idea of living forever and if he had found a way to get back to the human cycle he will do it right away. MIles doesn't really panic about living forever like Angus. Angus talks about being stuck and Miles talks about his family.

//Chapter Nineteen and Twenty//

1. No, I don't agree with the man in the yellow suit because if he gets the woods I think he is going to show off to random people he doesn't know and talk. And I think the random people will know about the spring and try find where the woods are and the random people will tell others and I think the random people will find the wood and drink the spring. I think the spring will be go. 2. Tuck was like that because he was shock for a minute. To tell the truth if I was Tuck I would be happy and glad. I would be happy because the man in the yellow suit was talking like he was showing off and I would be glad because if Mae hit the man in the yellow suit harder the man in the yellow suit could have died. That is why I would be happy and glad the same time.

//Chapter Twenty-One//

Winnie feels sorry for the wasp that she wants it to be alive again and thought about the same thing about Mae. She thinks about how Mae will be in the jailhouse. I had a time when I killed all the baby spiders in my house when I was in 1st grade. Than one day I read the comic book __Garfield__ and Garfield killed a lot of animals and bugs than the next day all the animals he killed tried to kill him. So from then until I came to Korea I was afraid of killing spiders and I wished the spider was alive the next minute.

//Chapter Twenty-Two//

I think Tuck doesn't agree because Winnie doesn't live forever and she is young. My point of view about Winnie helping Mae is okay because if they are saving Mae and they need to go in a small hole and the Tucks don't fit Winnie can fit and help Mae escape. I also think it is okay because since Winnie was at the Tuck's and the stranger tried to take her Mae hit the stranger and so because of Winnie, Mae hitted the stranger.

//Chapter Twenty-three and Twenty-four//

//"Stone walls do not a prison make, Nor iron bars a cage."//
I think the quote means if there is only stone walls and iron bars it doesn't make a prison, but if there is a person. I think this quote came through Winnie's head because she was thinking of a plan to help Mae.

Chapter Twenty-five and Epilogue

If I was in Winnie's position I wouldn't drink the water because if I did I will be out of the life cycle. I think the points that Tuck, Miles, and Jesse influenced Winnie's point of view because Tuck and Miles said it is not a good idea to drink the water, but Jesse said to drink the water just to be with each other. These are my point of view and thoughts.
