 * Day 1 Reflections:

** ** bob0711 How did they drink the magic water. I once met a mysterious person and walked away. ** ** No because my sister, mom, and dog always come too.

Grape Ape 9 There was really no mystery to chapters 1-3, but it explained a lot, like that that whole family had looked the same for 87 years!! But there was a weird stranger in their yard.

Fred4life The mystery is that how are they’re going to hide living forever. When I met somine mysterious I was I was in my old school, a girl named Kylie would follow me every where I went. For instance when I went to the store she followed me down the cerial isle, and kept staring at me. No I have not I’ve only been in the woods with my friends. It sounded creepy, because I herd the bugs near my ears. In addition it looked old and foggy, and beautiful at the same time.

Judo_Flow The mystery is how there going to hide how they will live forever. No I have never met someone mysterious before. I have never been in the woods alone before! **

Have you ever wanted to live for ever? If you do you’ll learn how crazy it is. This one couple are living in a house and they must have drank some important water that makes you live for ever. They have a mysterious stranger following them. I would be so scared if some one followed me. I have been in the woods alone before I saw about 5 deer. The woods looked so scary but then again so pretty. =__**Day 3:Literal comprehension**__= =**Describe what you know to be true about Winnie and the man in the yellow suit.

The man in the yellow suit, is a tall and narrow, and has a long chin faded into a long apologetic beard, and a jaunty yellow suit.

Winnie is 10 years old, a girl with long brown hair and blue eyes. She lives with her grandmother and mom at Treegap. A man in a yellow suit follows her. He also asks strange questions. Winnie talks to a certtain toad sometimes because she's lonley.

** bob0711  **Winnie is a 10 year old girl who lives with her grandma and is being raised very strictly. The man in the yellow suit comes to Winnie at night looking for a family who lives for ever. 

**__Day 5 Reflection questions:__**
=Winnie is experiencing the feeling of excitement and mystery. What way has she been raised to make her want to run away? Do you agree with her choice to do so, why or why not? What events of the Tuck's past do you find the funniest as they begin to share stories of their misadventures?=

bob0711
=== She is being raised very strictly because she can’t leave her yard without someone withe her. Yes I agree with her because if I was her I would want to run away too. When the guys shot the hoarse and it didn’t die. ===

Because Winnie is a only child, and she cant go anywhere. She has been raised to not go anywhere and has never left! And she’s a lonley child. I think she should run away because I would hate being held up in a place that is so boring and you technically are being held hostage. In addition, the funniest/weird thing about the Tucks is that they see Fred4life Reeses Rox

Winnie was raised alone, she was never left out besides her yard. No! because I wouldn’t have food to eat and no place nice and warm to sleep, I wouldn’t be very warm. The weird thing about the Tucks is that they will live for ever because they drank the water. Grape Ape 9

Winnie grew up as an only child and got very lonely, so lonely she would talk to toads. I agree to running away. I would not want to be an only child in such a dull lifestyle. I think it is pretty weird that the Tucks only see their kids once every ten years. judo_flow She has been raised alone and she can never go any where. No because I wouldn’t have any food and no where to sleep! When they drank the water. 


 * === **I recalled what I know about the topic.** ===
 * === **I asked myself questions as I read.** ===
 * === **I was reminded of personal connections.** ===
 * === **I thought about the reasons why things happened.** ===
 * === **I pictured what was happening.** ===

When they were fishing I pictured a big lake with lots of lilly pads and frogs.
Fred4life I thought of what was happening because it gives me a good mental image of what was going on. For example, when Winnie and Miles were fishing for trout at dawn for breakfast. Also, I ask questions as I read. For instance, when the Constable was trying to look for Winnie. I thought. “Could the Constabel be with the Man in the Yellow Suit? Is the Man in the Yellow suit a bad guy? Is the Constable a bad guy? Does Winnie like Miles or Jesse? Does Tuck like Winnie staying at the Tuck house?” Those are the strategies I use when reading Tuck Everlasting...

Grape Ape 9  ** The strategy used was picturing what what was happening because it gives me a good idea of what was going on. Like, for example, when Winnie described the man in the yellow suit, like how he had his short, gray, beard. And when Winnie and tuck were fishing, I had a great mental image of what was going on. You take the details the author gives you and, with the descriptiveness that some of these authors give you, you have a great mental image. Judo_flow I picture what was happening when Winnie and Miles were fishing for trout in the pond. I also ask my self questions as I am reading like when the man in the yellow suit wanted to trade Winnie for the wood. **  

Reeses Rox

I picture the story in my head, I pictured the water, the boat, and I pictured Winnie and Miles. This is what is currently happening in the story Miles and Winnie are fishing for trout. Then at home the man in the yellow suit is offering her Winnie for the wood. Her grandma really wanted her home so she took the deal. So the man in the yellow suit came to the Tucks house and asked if Winnie was their to take her to her grandma. Reeses Rox

__**Day 8 Response Questions:**__
==The man in the yellow suit obviously has intentions of getting the water for himself. What makes a good villain? What characteristics make a villain more interesting than "regular good / nice" characters?==

= bob0711 = = A good villain is a guy who steals stuff and vandalizes stuff. They do bad stuff. =

__**Grape Ape 9 **__  I think a good villain always appears at the worst moment possible. Like, for example, the man in the yellow suit appeared right when the Tucks were explaining to Winnie about the water that makes them last forever. Here are some characteristics that good villans have: Well first they have to be evil. Most of today’s villains are just goof balls that dress up in tights. Fred4life- To make a good villain, they would have to be mischievous, evil, and you have to know that they are evil. Such as Venom from Spiderman 3, he does'nt look like a nice guy, you would’nt think. “Man he looks like a good kid, that would’nt do no harm!” To me thats what makes a good villain. In addition, villains seem much more interesting because, they seem to have a better story, and to me they’re is much more ACTION in a villain than a good person. Those are the characteristics that are better than a good person. Like Grape Ape 9 said, Vvillains are just goofballs that dress up in tights.

judo_flow A deep voice and a skinny body makes a mysterious person. If they have a scare or a mark or stitches on there face they look like a villain. Villains have a weird getup. They were suits and ties or a weird costume. They also steal stuff and such and normal people don’t. Villains look different for different plans.  Reeses Roxs

The villain in the book is a very odd. In the book the villain doesn't have a name, his name is the man in the yellow suit. The man in the is described as a sneeky, thin narrow man that has gray hair and he has a black hat. He seemes to be stalking and following her. A regular character is VERY interesting, but villains are very mischieviouse and thats what make them interesting.
