The book I read was Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt. This book was about a girl named Winnie Foster who is just an ordinary curious girl that belongs to really wealthy parents. Her wealthy family owns a forest right acrossed the street from their house that has a mysterious fountain of youth that only the Tucks know about bc they accidentally drank from it. One day Winnie decides to leave her boring house and go on an adventure into the forest, but when she does she sees this stream and goes to drink from it but Jessie (one of the Tucks sons) grabs her and kidnaps her. They take her back to their home far out in the valley and help her understand why they took her and why she shouldn’t drink from the stream. Winnie then begins to like them after living with them after a few weeks meanwhile people back at her town are looking for her. Then the man in the yellow suit finally figures out where she is at and go to the Tuck’s house to get her back. They return her back to her family and move out to live somewhere else. Although Jesse and Winnie …show more content…

The setting of the book is in an old town with a forest right it the middle of it. With dusty roads and boring looking houses. The Tuck’s place is far away this place and their home is surrounded by valley with a lake by their house. My favorite quote from the book is “Don't be afraid of death; be afraid of an unlived life ( pg. 162). I like it so much because it can tells people to stop being afraid of death and other little things and to live life to the fullest before you do actual die and to enjoy and love your life while you can. The story is written from Winnie’s point of view. She tells the story as if it is really happening in real life. Because the readers are reading it from Winnie’s point of view the readers can understand and know Winnie’s

    Tuck Everlasting Film Review Is living forever the greatest gift or the ultimate curse. This is the ultimate question that both Natalie Babbitt’s novel and film have you asking constantly. Both majorly focusing on the overwhelming possibility of never facing death, and the cruel reality of greed that it comes along with. Where there are a few changes that where made with the re telling of the tucks story in the film the general theme along with the story line remain the same. To me the focal and most obvious change they made from manuscript to picture is they differ in how the film portrays Winnie Foster.

  • The Secret Life Of Bees Reflection Essay

    It has so much combinations of wonderful characters, principles, moments, scenes, and words. One thing that I also liked about the story was the little facts that was mentioned about the bees. The bees actually played an important part of the book because almost all of the main characters and Lily’s situations can be compared to one of the bees who go and collect honeys. Bees also do work or do chores just like what humans do. My favorite part of the book is when it showed forgiveness at the end of the of the story when Lily and her father talked, and also when she stays at Tiburon with the Boatwrights family because she finally has mothers that will take care and love

  • Same Kind Of Different As Me By Ron Hall And Denver Moore

    The book consists of many compelling short stories that revolve around the major conflict, which allowed me to read the book without losing interest. However, the book was not just entertaining to read, but taught me many life lessons and allowed me to realize many important facts. For example, in the book, Denver and Ron are two opposite people that have virtually nothing in common and are actually a little bit scared of each other at first. However, after they decide to reach out to one another, they not only become best friends, but end up changing each others’ lives for the better. This reminded me that I could be a little bit more outgoing and friendly in life, reaching out to other people instead of seeing the same couple of faces every day.

    I also agree with the opinion that suffering might never end, like the novel indicates through imagery at the very end. The author manages to combine happy moments with sad ones even though the sad ones takes the larger share. In addition, he accomplished his aim of having an audience that is glued to the book all along sine it is both engaging and informative. The author has a perception that the world is composed of more bad things than the good ones. This novel will be important to me as I explore the themes of post-apocalyptic fears and human struggles.
