Week Three Questions to Respond to Chapters 12-25
Answer 1-4 based on chapters 12-18. 1. How have Winnie’s feelings changed? Ask your Blogger Buddy what they think about Winnie’s feelings and if they agree with you about how they have changed.
She feels different about the Tucks then she did when they kiddnaped her. She used to want to go home right away. It's funny how feelings change over a few days. The Tucks seem like nice people.

2. Describe Angus Tuck. Tell why you think Angus Tuck said they were “like rocks beside the road”. Ask your Blogger Buddy if they agree with Angus’ description of their family.
Angus Tuck seems like a pretty nice man. I thought he was going to be mean to Winne when she came just because she knew their secret, but he was calm and patient and kind. I think what he meant was that nothing could really happen to them. Do you agree with Angus's decription of his family?
3. What did Jesse as Winnie to do? What would you do if you were Winnie?
He asked her to wait until she was 17 and go drink the srcret spring water and run off with him to get married. I would if I were Winne because Jesse would be the best there was, but if i were myself,no.
4. What would happen if nothing ever died? Ask your Blogger Buddy to share their opinion too.
If no one ever died then the world would be crowded because people would have babies and their babies would have babies and then their babies would have babies and so on. Share your opinion.
Answer 5-6 based on chapters 19-25. 5. How had Winnie changed since we first met her at the beginning of the book?
Shes getting use to the Tucks and their funny lifestyle in all but two days. Its incredible how one persons feelings change in two days.
I will finish later!

6. Discussion with your Blogger Buddy about Tuck Everlasting: Winnie had decided that shw would help get Mae out of jail, even though she knew her parents wouldn’t allow it if they knew.
I would never do that even if the person was my best friend in the whole world. I mean my maybe break them out, but go in their place, no way. Iwould be grounded forever and ever. That would suck if I lived forever

Yet, she “had her own strong sense of rightness,” and she believed that this was something she had to do. So , as much as she didn’t want to disobey her parents, she decided she would go ahead with her plan, and then make them understand later. It is easy to do something when there are many people with your, supporting you, agreeing with you. However, when you must do something alone because in your heart you believe it is right, regardless of what others may think, that is truly difficult–but that is also the most rewarding.

By taking the less traveled road, that is, the midnight escape plan, do you think that Winnie felt it had “made all the difference”?
She probably does because she was a part of it by filling in the cell that Mae was in. I would think that it did because Mae would be free.
Below are several situations for which there are no easy answers. Read each situation and decide what you would do. Be ready to give reasons for the choices you have made.Choose one of the situations (1-4) and discuss your reasons for your decision with your blogger buddy and ask them what they would do if they were you.
1. You see an elderly woman shoplift medication from a drug store. You think she probably couldn’t afford to pay for it. Do you report her?
I would asked her if she wanted me to buy it for her. If I didn't have any money I would ask her to asked her doctor.If not that, I would report her.
2. Your best friend will fail English if he/she missed on more homework assignment. You know the assignment is done because you saw it completed. Your friend has forgotten the assignment at home, and there is nobody to bring it to school. Your friend has asked to copy your homework. What would you do?
Tell her to face her fears and tell her to tell the teacher and ask for another paper.
3. Your dog is very old and sick. The vet said it might live for another year or longer but it would probably be in pain. You could have the dog put to sleep, or let it die naturally. What would you do?
I would let it enjoy its little life and weep when it died. Really, I'm a cat owner.
4. Your mother has worked very hard after work every night for a month making a Halloween costume for you. You don’t like it and suspect you will be teased if you wear it. What would you do?I would wear it. I wouldn't want my mom to go through all that work
