Compare And Contrast Tuck Everlasting

256 Words2 Pages

Living forever seems to be an incredible concept. After all, who hasn’t feared death at least once in their life? However, Natalie Babbitt explains the negative effects of living forever in her novel, Tuck Everlasting. In this novel, a young girl named Winnie Foster meets a family of extraordinary and unusual people. This family, the Tucks, lets her in on their biggest secret: they will live forever. When the Tucks get into a little trouble with the law, Winnie teams up with the Tucks’ sons to help free their mother and save her from the gallows. While this plot is followed quite closely in the movie, the novel and film seem to have quite a few differences. Unlike the book, the movie demonstrates the more intimate side of Jesse’s relationship

    Tuck Everlasting Some people have difficulty deciding which is better: the book or the film. Natalie Babbitt wrote the story Tuck Everlasting and Disney made a version of Tuck Everlasting. Natalie Babbitt’s Tuck Everlasting is a book about a 10 year old girl, Winnie Foster, who meets a family, the Tuck’s, who are immortal. They have some happy and sad experiences with each other. I believe that Natalie Babbitt’s text Tuck Everlasting is better than Disney’s film Tuck Everlasting because it puts more suspense, it has a better characterization basis, and it puts greater imagery into your mind.
