 * How are the Tuck family looking the same for eighty-sum years,and,how will she get to her children. At best buy,a guy with a black sweat shirt got out a guitar for my brother. Then,after talking with him,I found out he worked there. Now,I always go with a buddy.**

SOCCERGIRL12 The mystery is how the Tuck family looked the same for eighty-seven years, and the another one is how Mae will get their kids. I've been at Walmart and ment a guy that was in a brown coat and a hat. They were in front off me in line and my sister had bumped in to him, and he made a funny look at her. Yes, I have been in the woods alone. I felt weard that whenever I stoped moving and I heard a stick break, but I was ok when I was the one how broke the stick. I liked looking at the woods because I think it is beautiful. Now that I know what to exepect I love to walk alone in the woods.

Piggy08 The mystery of Tuck Everlasting is why does he look the same for eighty-seven years. The one time I thought something was suspicious was when my mom and I were shopping and there was a guy that was following me and my mom. I was so uncomfterble. He was singing and humming and it was really weird. I have been in the woods alone before and I was having fun all by my self. The woods looked like they were dark and silent. All I could hear was birds. I can relate to Tuck Everlasting a lot.

CMQA11 The mystery is how and why the Tuck family looks the same for eighty some years. What is the cares of the same looks for the eighty some years. Yes at a aparment that my grandpa ones. I have been in the woods and I was on my hose and he din't trot or go in faster gates. When I got out I falt like a peoson was folering me. It still feals the same that a porsan is rite behined me.

soccergirl12The mystery was that they stay young forever. One was when my friends and I were at the school and we got in trouble in a different school but we were running around and a gye came up to us and yelled at us then he was like following us. I felt scarred because we were trying to loose him but we just couldent so we went back to sit with my mom and did not tell anyone about it. Yes i went in the woods alone it was scarry. = =

Day 2 Reflection questions:
==**What is the interesting fact about a the Tuck family? How did it happen? Why are they so protective of their "condition"? What would you do if you had the same condition? Would it be a blessing or a curse? Explain WHY you feel this way?**==

aflack8 The most interesting fact about the Tuck family is they all look the same for the last 104 years. They don't age because of some special water they drank. The are very careful not to let anyone see them and they are afraid other people would try to harm them becuse they would be considered witch craft. If I had this condition I would try to find a mad scientest to fix me. This would be a curse. I feel this way becuse if I was stuck at the age of 11 I would have to go to school and would never get to grow up and experiance the rest of my life.

cece1 The one most interesting thing about the Tuck family is that they all looked the same for eighty seven years. They don't age because of the water they drink. They are protective because if people see them not age and accuse them of witch craft,or see them drink it and the peaple in town might wount to drink it. I would like it if Iwould like it if I could live forever,that is one condition that I would not wount to fix. I would drink the water if I was twenty-five years old so I would not have to repeat the same grade over and over but Iwould get good grades.

Piggy08 The interesting fact about the family is that they never age a day. It all happened by them drinking magic water. They are ao protective over their secret because they do not want the same thing to happen to a lot of people. I would think that if it was my condition that I would like it because I would not have to worry about growing up. It would deffinatly be a blessing to me for the reason being that I do not want to grow up.

soccergirl12: A interesting fact about the family is that they will stay young forever. They drank some special water. They are so protective of it because they dont want more people to get it. I would like it because i could stay young forever. But I would hate it because I would not be able to grow up. Half and Half. I fell this way because I would just like to stay young.

cmqa11 all The interesting thing that they will never chance they age again. It was cased by them drinking the magic water that will never will age them again. They dint wont other people to drink it. I weird be vary cool to be a kid for aver. But then your age docent go up an you can't drive cars on the street. You mite not aver be trusted from you age. You mite not get to get the grate life that you planed be for that happened. Like if you wonted to fly a plan you coronet. If you wont to get taller you cant because of the magic that was in the water that you draincked.

**__Day 3 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? What events of the Tuck's past do you find the funniest as they begin to share stories of their misadventures?=

cece1 The reason why she ran away is because she was raised to always had to keep thing neat. No, I would not run away because I would have noware to go and neather did she. So far no funny events have come up.

aflack8 She cannot be in one place for long,or else someone could find them and arrest them.I do agree with there dission. There have'nt been any funny parts.

SOCCERGIRL12: She ran away because she was raised to keep things always so neat. No I do not agree because she had no right to and it is good to keep things neat. Also the world is not always neat.So far not verry funny events had come up. well acually there had no funny events that he really did.

cmqa11 She ran away because she all was had to make aver thing neat or she was going to be in trouble. No I wood no because I wood not see my family averagain unlace amoral happened.

Piggy08 She was raised to do all of the work and keep everything neat so she ran away. I sort of agree with her choice because if someone was having all of the fun, and one person is doing all of the work, that can be unfair and make them not fell part of the family. When they share all of their stories and shocking facts about their past as people getting older but look the same.

Connecting prior knowledge and experience to reading deepens comprehension. I would like you to explain one type of connection that you've made with the book you've been reading.**
 * __Response on Connections:__
 * __List__ and __explain__ the __type of connection made__ & __answer how this helped you to understand the story better__.

The four types of connections are: Text-to-Text (T-T) These connections made between the text and you are reading and what you have read elsewhere.

Text-to-World (T-W) These are connections made between the text you are reading and the bigger issues and events going on in the world.

Text-to-Self (T-S) These are connections made between the text you are reading and your own experiences.

Text-Within-Text (T-W-T) These are connections made between the text you are reading and another section of the same text.

aflack8 Text to self because it is fun to go out into the woods and adventure.

cece1 text within text -- Because I think at the begining of the book Winnie felt like she would like to run away. Now that she has been with the Tuck family she wants to go back home.**

cmqa11 Text-Self. I like to go in the woods and walk and see what has happened to it like strong winds.

piggy08 text-to-self I like to also go in the woods and make my own adventures. I enjoy making imagination so much fun.

soccergirl12 text to self because i would live to be in those woods. ==__**Day 4 Response Questions**__ The offer is made by Jessie to Winnie. Has there ever been something that someone offered you that seemed too good to be true? Explain. What scientific concepts are taught during the reading selection today?==

aflack8 Yes, when I'm surffing the web and have been offered a free lap top, ya right, you will be scammed and had to sign up for 10 more offers. One concept if everyone lived forever then the earth could get overcrowded


 * cece1**
 * I have had a porcelain doll that was my great grandma's. I thought that was to good to be true,because she did not really like me. If every one lived forever we would need more room on earth.

piggy08 Yes,when my dad offered me a WII. I was so happy. I jumped up and down. That making choices can be hard to do if it is a big offer. It is kindoff like a job, you have to decide before you say your answer.You need time to think about it.**

cmqa11 Yes, when I go bake in to the hospital mite them I get an offer of a Lab Top. But the properly will still never get an offer for a free Lab Top. Gets maybe if the wold never end but besides if I where in the Tuck family.

soccergirl12 yes when i surf the web sometimes i do get offerd a free laptop.ya if you go for one of those freelaptop you do not want to do that there scaming you.one conseped is that everyone could drink the water and everyone will live forever and the earth will never end.

__**Day 5 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?==

aflack8 He agrees to not turn them in if they help him. He has the greedy,rushing,trade to trade characteristics.

cece1 I think he is a good villain because he tries to get the water from them,not to turn them in if they help, and when he knew that Winnie wanted to stay there he still wanted to take her. A villian is more interesting in that they do things that the good or nice characters would not do.

cmqa11 A person how is vary good seating out of things that can and dose talk about them. Not letting people know about what they doing and way they are they for. Villains get in shoes that they all was don't won't to get in to. A good correcter is a person how helps how is not going to stay be hind and.

piggy08 He is worried about one of the characters Winnie. He is a good person because he tried to get water for them. A villain is more entertaining because you never know the tricks they pull or the mistakes they will make.

soccergirl12 He was worried about one of the charecters winnie is the charecter. i guess he is kindof a good person because he tred to get the water for them. I think that a villian is more interesting because they do funny things and you never know what they will do next. Or the tricks the villians will make.

The novel ends with a rescue & escape. What discovery did Winnie make about herself during the choices she faced? How was the setting & ending different than if the novel took place during today instead of in the 1920's? What was the author's purpose for writing Tuck Everlasting? How much did you enjoy the novel? What was your favorite part?
 * __Day 6 - 6 questions to answer__

She is braver then she thought she was. They talk like they did way back then. The setting is nice and calm in the summer. To give out a story about the fountain of youth. It was ok,but I would have liked it better if I was'nt in a group with all girls but me. When she ws talking to the dog.

cece1 Winnie learned alot about who is was and how to be brave. The setting if it was now would have been harder to find a under populated place. I feel that the ending would have been different today because the Tucks were trying to protect Winnie, so it would have been found out that they were not hurting anyone. To show that Living forever has alot of disavantages. I enjoyed it alot it was interesting. My favorite part was when Mae met Jessie.

soccergirl12 Winnie learnd how to be brave. The setting is a under populated place. I think that it would end a lot different because there are really no villians now days and that tuck would not be saving her. To show that there is hopes and dreams that living forever is a good thing and that there is a lot advanteges in being able to live forever. I loved this book because it was interesting. I liked the part when winnie ran away.**

cmqa11 She fond out the real in here as how brave she realized that she was. I weed have thought that it was going to be different ending I thought that the man in the yellow soot was going to drink the water that the tuck family did. Itwho'd be hared to mack a seating like that now because of all the other books that mite be almost the same idea. It was to me that living for aver is not all was the grates thing. I real liked the book Iweird like to read a norther book like that. That has the same tip of going as tuck dose. My favorite prat was when the man in the yellow soot got hit in the head it was interesting what happened.
