During the past couple of weeks, we where assigned to a project where we had read a book called ‘Tuck Everlasting’ and then create a advertisement about something that occurred in the book.

The book Tuck Everlasting is a classic fantasy about an family called the Tucks who accidentally stumble upon a spring the woods, who gave them the ability to have eternal life. They don’t realize a first the water they have drunk has given the eternal life until they realize that they can not age and are not able to hurt themselves or get. Then, Winnie Foster comes into the family, a little girl in search of freedom. She learns there secret and slowly falls in love with the family and will do anything to protect them. The family and Winnie then must face a villain who would steal their secret for himself.

In my perspective, I thought this book was very interesting in good ways and bad ways. But here are two most significant and  ways that the book was good and not so good.

The good way that the book was interesting was when Winnie wondered of in to the forest and later found one of the Tucks (Jessie) drinking from the magic water (the water that makes then live forever). Then Jessie asked Winnie where she is from and Winnie replied in a very scared way and said “I was just on my way back, but I wanted get a drink of water first (from the magic water place).” That part was very intimidating because Winnie didn’t know yet if she drank that water she would live forever.

There where not so many bad ways that the book was bad but there was one part was rather confusing: After the Tucks captured Winnie, that night all of a sudden Winnie and Jessie became really good friends which was really confusing because considering Winnie was kidnapped, she should be in shock and disappointed.
