Compare And Contrast Tuck Everlasting

When I first read the book [italicize]Tuck Everlasting[italicize], it made me recollect the daydreams of my childhood before I had any responsibilities or burdens.

The toad also plays a vital role in the book as Winnie's friend and confidante to her worries and concerns. [insert
