=Prologue= //Question 1#// //what if you could live forever...//

If I have a choice of rather to live for ever or not I would choose not to live for ever. The reason I choose not to live forever is because when I'm ever old then I will see people around me like families and friends die and I'll be sad and left alone. Another reason is that when I'm old and look like a kid in 5th grade and someone ask me how old i am and if I say I'm in high school they would not believe it and they will think me as a lire witch I don't want to be. When you live for a long time nothing will be fun for me. Another reason is because when I'm very old nobody around me I'll know me and when I'm tired of living and want to die and I can't die I will really regret that I wanted to live for ever and It will be the biggest regret of my life.

//Question 2#// //In the prologue, the author describes three things that happen on one day and seem unrelated. What are those three things?//

Example1 :At dawn,Mae Tuck set set out on her horse for the wood at the edge of the village of Treegap.She was going there,as she did once every ten years,to meet her two sons,Miles and Jesses. The reason was to meet her two sons,Miles and Jesses.

Example2 :At noontime ,Winnie Foster.whose family owned the Treegap wood,lost her patience at last and decided to think running away. The reason was because she lost her patience.

Example3 :And at sun set a stranger appeared at the Foster's gate.He was looking for someone,but didn't say who. The reason was that he was looking for someone,but didn't say who.

=__Chapter 1#__= =__Question #1:__ Babbitt gives her views about land ownership in this chapter. Explain the author's views and then express your feelings about land ownership.= =__Question #2:__ Although we are not told, suggest reasons why it may have been a disaster if the spring had been discovered by people.=

The ownership is strange and when I say owning a land I only mean the crust.For an example If an animal comes in your property it is yours because things in your property is yours.For another example if you plant fruits in your property it is yours because it is in your land.

If spring is discovered by people then people will come to drink it and people are going to live for ever.If they live for ever then the population will grow to much people will have to move to another planet.But that might not happen even they know about the spring because some people will not drink it.

=__Chapter 2&3__=

=__Question:__ Take a few minutes to contemplate Winnie's quote at the top of page 15. If you could start fresh, making your own decisions about your life, what are some changes you would make? Please write about at least 2-3 changes and organize your response in paragraphs.=

If I was to restart my life I would first I would be prepared for school or other things.I have a few reasons and one of them is because I don't want to be having problems in school just because I didn't bring something or be left .My other reason is because I think being prepared brings me good luck.For an example if there is a Earthquake and If I was prepared I would have something to eat or drink or something to keep me warm.But something that will really be helpful for me in school is being prepared for school for a test. If I could return to long ago I would have not come back from Canada because there were to much change about my life sense I came back fromCanada.The changes I felt was that my room got smaller.One other reason is because I don't feel safe in Korea because of kids getting kidnapped. The last thing I want to change is my life.I wish my brother was a girl.One reason is because girls looks cuter and have cuter cloth. One other reason is that I like girls better(no offense to boys).another good reason is that If my brother is a girl we could hair accessorise

=Chapter4=

Question #1: What is Winnie doing as the stranger approaches the Foster gate? Question #2: Why does Winnie's grandmother come down the path to the gate? Question #3: Winnie and her grandmother have different views about what is making the music. Explain. Question #4: What is your first impression of this stranger? Make a prediction regarding the role he will play in the story.

1. Winnie was catching fireflies intently in the yard as the stranger approached. 2. I think Winnie's grandma came down the path because there was a stranger and he was asking for something. 3. Winnie and grandma hear a melody and grandma and Winnie has different idea about what is making the melody. Grandma thinks it is coming from a elf that she saw long ago. But Winnie thinks that the melody is coming from a music box. 4. When I read about the man I thought he would be a bad person but after I read about him I thought he was a nice guy but the thing that make me me think him as a bad person is that he was looking for someone but he goes off track and ask Winnie about her like how long she lived here for. Some how i think he knows about the spring. I think that the stranger will be a big part of the story if he knows about the spring.

Chapter5
=__Question # 1:__ In this chapter Jesse refuses to let Winnie drink from the bubbling spring. Why does he do that? Would you have done the same thing or would you have let her drink from it? Explain your opinion in a complete paragraph.=

If I was to be Jesse and If I saw Winnie trying to drink from the spring I would have stopped her If she was an untrustable girl because If she knew about the spring and was an untrustable girl she would have told every body which would be bad. But if she was a nice little girl that i could have trusted I would have told her what the spring was and how her life will change if she drank it. I think Jesse didn't let her drink it because he couldn't trust her or because he thought she to still to young to know about living forever but maybe it was because he didn't want anyone to know about the spring.

=Chapter 6=

=__Question # 1:__ Why do you think Winnie did not do something when they came across the stranger along the road? Would you have done something? Why or why not? Please explain in a complete paragraph.= =**__Question #2:__** What type of figurative language does Babbitt use in this quote?**:**=

//"...though her heart was pounding and __**her backbone felt like a pipe full of cold running water**__, her head was fiercely calm."//
=Was there really cold water running down her backbone? What is Babbitt trying to say here? Where else in the story so far has the author used this type of figurative language? (Can you find two?) Copy the quote (include the page in parenthesis) and tell us what you think the author is trying to describe.=

I think Winnie did not do something when she came across the stranger because her head was blur and she thought that they were nice people. But if I was to be her I would have yelled for help because some bad people act nice but when they go to a place were nobodies around they become very mean.

When Babbit wrote 1. "//__her backbone felt like a pipe full of cold running water__// " I think she means a feel that you have on you back bone when you are scared or surprised. This quote is a metaphor. I found 3 figurative language and one phrase is 2. "__We been plain bone lucky it hasn't before now__" ( the page is 35 at the first paragraph ) and the second phrase is 3. "__It was like a ribbon tying her to familiar things__" (the page is 35 at the second paragraph) 2. I think that it means that we were very lucky that it didn't happen before now 3. I think it means something that reminds her of things

=Chapter 7=

=__Question # 1:__ In a complete paragraph, please describe the setting of __Tuck Everlasting__. You may need to review details from earlier chapters in the book. Make sure that you use quotation marks if you quote anything directly from the book.= =__Question #2:__ //"'Pa thinks it's something left over from-well, from some other plan for the way the world should be," said Jesse. 'Some plan that didn't work out too good...'"// What does Jesse mean? What could this 'plan' have been? In your description, make sure you connect the bubbling spring to your opinion of the 'plan' Jesse and Angus are referring to. Your answer to this question should be at least one paragraph.=

The setting of __Tuck Everlasting :__ The woods: The wood is a bright place with a lot of light that has the colors of the nature such as green or amber which seeps in through the gaps between the trees. There are fallen logs every here and there covered in green velvet moss. The palest blue flowers grow tangled with vines. the forest has a lot of animals that are very tame. The road: A road that led to the tree gap and wondered along the curves in a easy angle. The road swayed off and up in a pleasant tangent at top of an small hill,ambled down again between fringes of bee-hung cover that cut side wise across a meadow.

When papa thought the spring was a left over and was made for a prepuce and I think the spring was made because people didn't want to die so the god made the spring. But the reason that people don't know about it is because the people long ago drank it but wanted to die later. The god thought the spring made people happy at first but he realized that they wanted to go to heaven so, he made the spring disappear but there was a little bit left that the Tuck's drank.

=Chapter 8=

=__Question # 1:__ At the end of the chapter we learn that someone has overheard the Tuck's secret. Who was it that overheard the secret? How have the actions of this character created suspense, or tension, in the plot (throughout the story)? Give specific examples from the story so far.= The person that had over heard the secret was the man in the yellow suit. I think that the man will try to spread about the spring to the village people or force Tuck's family to do something for him and say he is going to tell if they don't do it. The things that make me think that is that when the man went to Winnie's house he said he was looking for someone but didn't say who. One other thing is that he was following the Tuck's and Winnie when they were talk about what had happened to the Tucks.

=Chapter9= =__Question # 1:__ By this chapter, we have read a lot of dialogue involving the Tucks. Here are some examples of incorrect grammar that the Tucks have used in their conversations:= =//"It don't take 'em more'n a minute to pile into that pond."//= =//"How do, Winnie Foster."//= =//"We was like gypsies."//= =Explain why you think the Tucks talk like this and try to come up with reasons how this shows us more about their characters. This should be written as a complete paragraph.= I think the Tucks used nonsense words or sentences because they lived for many years and that was how they talked long ago. Or maybe it was a way that they speaked to each others in the Tuck's because the way they spoke every day was boring that they changed or skipped words in the sentence, but they got used to that language that they just spoke like that. May be it was because the Tucks didn't go to school so that they had a problem in their grammar.

=Chapter 10=

=__Question # 1:__ How does Babbitt describe the Tuck home? How does that differ from Winnie's home? Your home? Write a complete paragraph. Please incorporate some quotes from the book.= I think winnie thinks the house is dirty but she feels comfortable because she thinks that the tucks don't care about how dirty it gets. If you compare Winnie's house and the Tuck's, Winnie'a house is very clean but the Tuck's house is totally different because the Tuck's house has very old furniture's that is all ruined and dust and mices allover the place, but Winnie's house is very clean that it is every hard to just see one dust. if you compare my house and the Tuck's house our house is very clean. My house is like other houses. Even it's not like Winnie's house my house is clean but there's a little bit of dust at the top shelf.

=Chapter 11-12=

=__Question # 1:__ On page 59, what does Tuck mean when he says, "I got a feeling this whole thing is going to come apart like wet bread."= =__Question #2:__ There are SOOOO many examples of figurative language in Chapter 12. Please find 5. Write the quote, the page number, the type of figurative language, and an explanation of what the author is trying to say.=

When Tuck said " I got a feeling this whole thing is going to come apart like wet bread" I think he meant he had a bad feeling like something dreadful will happen.

I found figurative language in page 60 the second sentence and the sentence was " The sun was dropping fast now, a soft red sliding egg yolk..." and I think it means that the sun was down and the the color was like the yolk. I found simile in page 63 "just go out, like the flame of a candle, and no use protecting" I think it means that the that it is obvious. I found simile on page 64 " We just are, we just be, like rocks beside the road" I think it means that they are useless. I found simile on page 64 "They'd all come running like pigs to slop" I think it means that they will come for it wanting to have it. I found

=Chapter13-14=

= = =__Question # 1:__ //"We ain't part of the wheel no more." "If I know how to climb back on the wheel, I'd do it in a minute." "We just **are**, we just **be**, like rocks beside the road."// What are Tuck's (Angus') feelings towards eternal life? What does he mean by the third quote from above? Compare his feelings to those of the other Tucks' (Miles, Jesse, and Mae).=

=__Question #2:__ Imagine that the Tucks are everlasting and still wandering the earth. Write a description of them if they came into your town this year. Describe where you might see them, what they would be doing, and how you would recognize them.=

Angus is comparing him self as a rock on a road and I think he means that he is useless and no help at all.I also think that he means that it is better not to be alive if you can't die. I think Angus is more wanting die because he dreams of going to heaven. Compared to the other tuck's I think he is wanting to change the begging when they drank the spring more then anyone else. Also I think he misses the old days when they didn't drink from the spring because he says thing like I miss the old days when we use to have natural kids.

If the Tuck's were still alive this days and were in our town I will probably notice them in a forest with old Reggy cloth because they don't know what a store is so they will go hunting and build a house in the woods. I will also notice if the do a dangerous thing and get heart and is OK I will notice because of the strange thing. But something that will make me sure is that they are the Tuck's is when I go over to there house and see how dirty it is and if it is same as the book say then I will be use.

=Chapter15=

= =

=Question #1. What do we learn about the man in the yellow suit? Give at least two examples from this chapter that show what kind of person he really is.=

=Question #2. Why do you think he wants to make this deal with the Fosters?=

=Question #3. Give your opinion about why Babbitt didn't write any dialogue for the Fosters. In other words, why do you think the stranger is the only one talking in this chapter?=

The man is a big fat lire that wants money or something like money. He is also a stingy man. I know that he is a lire because he said that Winnie was kid napped and that is true but he said it in a bad way that she was in a real big danger even she is not. Also I think he is a bad person because he is kind of is forcing to that Foster's to give him some land then he will tell where Winnie is. I see that he is stingy because he does not want to spend his money money to buy land.

I think the man in the yellow suit decided to make that type of deal because he wanted to know where the spring was.

I think the stranger is the only one talking in this chapter to show what type of person he is. I think that is the reason that the stranger is the one talking is because it is to show what type of person he is by reading what kind of bad and a selfish he deal he makes with the fosters.

=Chapter16=

==__Question #1:__ In this chapter the constable talks about the gallows. Why do you think Babbitt makes the constable talk about the gallows? What possible hints is Babbitt trying to give us about what could happen to the Tucks in the future?== I think the constables talk about the gallow because maybe the constables think that the man in the yellow suit is a cahoot so the constables are saying that to scary him.I think in the future that the tucks will go to jail and go to the gallow but they don't die so I think they will know about the spring.But my other guess is that they run a way be the help from Winnie.

Chapter 17

__Question #2:__ Why didn't Miles have his family drink from the spring? What would you have done if you were in his shoes?
The conversation with Angus and Winnie is similar to the conversation with Miles because they were on the boat and were having a talk one person by one at a time.Also Miles and Angus was talking was about there life and what they would do if they could.But the difference was that Winnie was talking to a different person and that person was talking about different subject even it was a little bit similar. Another difference is that they were silents for moments when Winnie was with Miles but when Winnie was with Angus they were keep on talking and it seems like that Winnie is shy with Miles because there was a bit of silence and Winnie was thinking about Jesse and how he compares to Miles but with Angus she seems not shy at all.

Miles didn't have his family drink from the spring because he didn't notice that it was the spring that gave him the power to live forever and look the way he looked forever.Also when he noticed that it was the spring that gave him the power he tried to get his family but it was to late because his kids were in that age of 80 so they might have had died and by the way the age 80 was not a age where you will be looking for your mama and papa.I'f I was Miles I would have done the same thing but I would have still gone out looking for the kids because they are still my kids if I was Miles and If I found them I would of have asked if they wanted to drink from the spring because they are old enough to make decisions but I would have asked if they wanted to live forever with me if I was Miles and if they said yes then I would have told about the spring.

=Chapter 22-23=

__Question #1:__ After reading chapter 22, in your own words, describe the plan to help Mae escape. (Be specific.) Do you think it's a good plan? Why or why not?
==__Question #2:__ In Chapter 23, Babbitt describes many emotions (feelings) that Winnie is experiencing at the same time. Describe two emotions (feelings) that Winnie is experiencing and __**use examples from the book as your proof.**__ Describe a time when you also experienced these two emotions at the same time.== The plan that was made to save Mae was to go to the jailhouse and there is a window and Miles is going to take off the window and Mae will climb up to the window and run out and they will run away. I think that this is a bad plan because the cops will notice as soon as they run off; also, if they get caught, there will be worse things happening, so I would have saved her at the last moment when she was going to the gallows.

The one of the two feelings that Winnie was feeling was worry about Mae and wants to help. ""I'm so glad to see you! what can we do? We have to get her out!"", and "What could she do to set Mae free?" The second one was that she felt guilty and the proof is that it says in the book that in 3 days she did 2 thing that she knew was forbiden. When I sended my puppy away I felt guilty for senging it away when it was used to me and I also wanted to save my dog for sending it away because it happened because i was not responsibe.

=Epilogue=

=__Question #1.__ In your own words, describe how the weather changes from the beginning of the chapter to the end of the chapter.=

=__Question #2.__ How is the weather in this chapter connected to the major events in the chapter? **__Be specific and use examples from the book as proof.__**= =__Question #3.__ In the epilogue we learn that the spring was destroyed. How do you think Mae and Tuck feel about that? How do you feel about the spring being destroyed?=

At the beging the weather was normal not to cold or hot.But know the weather is not normal.In cold days the weather is cold and rainy and cloudy.In hot days the weather is so hot that every thing is dry.

The weathers are very matching with the story.In a time when they (the tucks and Winnie) set off to save Mae the weather was perfectly matching because a situation when it is scary and bad a bad weather as in cloudy or cold or rainy is the best.

I think Mae and Tuck (Angus) is a little sad but glad.I think they are glad because the spring is gone because they had no more to worry about and that worry is keeping the spring a seceret from other people.I think the Tucks (Mae and Angus) is sad because on of the biggest memorys in there life has disapeares.I feel sad and very suprised.I feel sad because that one of the most important part of the book was both gone which was Winnie and the spring.I was really suprised when winnie and the spring disapear because then the story ends so simple even it is sad that Winnie died.

=Movie and Book Compareson=

3. Which version (the book or the movie) did you like better and why?
Question 1 and 2

The first difference was that when Mae and Angus caught by the cops only Mae went to jail in the book but in the movie Mae and Angus went to jail.The second differnce was when Winnie died.In the book she died because there was a fire but in the movie she died when she was to old to live.The third difference was that there were only two cops in charge of finding winnie but in the movie a group of cops look for Winnie.

I liked the movie better because it takes a shorter time to know the story then the book.Also the movie desribes the idea better then we think.When you read a book and imagen you sort of wonder what it is that they are talking about but in the movie it just show you the idea.But I think the Book is better because the story is more specific.
