1. Choose two of the characters in this book and write a short description of each of them. Provide as much detail as possible about their physical characteristics, relationships, and personalities. Ask your Blogger Buddy who their favorite characters are?
I chose Winnie Foster as one of my characters. Winnie foster is a very neat, and clean little girl, like her mother, and also seems a little out there or, as some like to call it, mood swing-ish.
My other character is Mea tuck. I like Mae Tuck because she is very carefree and kinda teddy-bearish, like people want to always hug her because she's very understanding.
2. Describe the woods next to the cottage.
It's very unpredictable and has no certain place to be, like it's really sorta untoldabout even though it's right beside the cottage it's kinda like it's never been there because no one really knows what is instore for a jorney in the woods.
3. What amazing fact about the Tucks is revealed? What do you think about it? Ask your Blogger Buddy what they think too.
The amazing fact's revealed about the Tucks is that they drank from spring and now they can live for ever! I think that it would awesome to live forever, even if u shoot yourself you'll still be alive!
4. Have you ever felt like running away like Winnie? Why or why not?
I have actually thought of running away because it feels like no one really cares about, but every day after i decide that I'm going to run away my family always out-does themselves. And if they ever don't I don't think I'll ever runaway... at least not for too long anyways.
5. Tell about a time when you were told a fantastic story that was supposed to be true, and you were not sure whether or not to believe it. Ask your Blogger Buddy to tell about a time this may have happened to them.
Once I was told about fairies by one of my favorite baby-sitters and everytime she came over she told me a story about a different type of fairy. I really liked those sroties about fairies because I love mythical creatures like dragons, elves, homunculuses. I love all of them.
6. How was the home lifestyle of the Tucks different from that of the Fosters?
The Tucks lifestyle was a little messier aside from the Fosters. When the Tucks eat dinner they don't all sit around a big fancy dinner table like the Fosters, they just all sit where they feel like sitting.Like me!
7. Find a simile, a metaphor, and a personification in your reading. Remember a simile compares things to one another by using the word “as” or “like”. A metaphor compares two different things, but it does not use “as” or “like”. A personification is giving an animal or object a human characteristic. Please note what page you found your type of figurative language and type out the entire sentence that you find it in.
I found my simile on page 21 and the sentence that I found it in says " 'It sounds like a music box,' said Winnie when it was over". I found my personification on page 21 also and the sentence goes like this " 'Nonsence. It's elves! ' crowed her grandmother excitedly". The personification is she crowed like a bird or actually a crow. I found my metaphor on page 46 in the sentence "The pastures, fields, and scrubby groves they crossed were vigorous with bees, and crickets leapt before them as if each step releaseda spring and flung them up like pebbles
8. Start an on-going conversation with your blogger buddy about the advantages to living forever and the disadvantage to living forever. Tell them what you are thinking after reading this much of the book and they will tell you how they are feeling about it as well. Ask them WHY they feel it is an advantage or disadvantage.
I think that living forever has great rewards, like you'll know everything eventually and all the wisdom will never go to waste because you'll live forever! But living forever means anyone who doesnt understand will be afraid accuse you of being a witch or wizard or something. So you don't have many friends at all except for your family and some people who do understand and except it. Some more advantages is you can do a lot of stuff that will kill normal people but won't kill you if you do it. Like how Angus tuck shot himself only a few inches away from the gun.
