Tuck Everlasting

I've been reading more of Tuck Everlasting and it keeps getting mire and more exciting. Right now, Winnie is still at the Tuck's house since thye kidnapped her. She goes out in the morning with Miles, trying to catch some fish for breakfast. When Miles catches a trout, Winnie can't stand even looking at the pain the fish is going through. "Put it back!" Miles looks at Winnie's scared face with tears in her eyes, and relcutantly releases the fish.

I think Winnie acted this way because she had just talked to Tuck about living forever and she didn't want the same to happen to the fish. I think the author, Natalie Babbitt included this chapter into the book because it has powerful connections. She's trying to say that the Tuck's live forever and they're just stuck on the wheel of life. They can never die, but eventually the fish will. Winnie wanted to let the fish swim away because she wanted to let it enjoy the time it has left.

Tuck Everlasting

In school right now, we're reading this book called Tuck Everlasting. I really like it because there is a lot of description so it's easy to create pictures in your mind. The author, Natalie Babbitt, does a very good job of setting the scene. She often uses vivid details like "sunsets smeared with too much color" and "the melancholy creases folded his daytime face". The storyline of Tuck Everlasting is amazing and it feels like you're on the adventure with Miles, Jesse, Mae, Tuck, and Winnie!
