Book Report Tuck Everlasting
Dear lit circles readers of Tuck Everlasting

We recently finished Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt and we have been asked to rate this book. I will be rating it a 4.3 because it was slow at some points in the book and really exciting the next page. One theme in this book was acceptance. In this book the Winnie has to accept the Tuck family, who are cursed to live forever(I think that would be pretty hard to accept!). They are kind to her even though they are cursed. For example a few ways that it is a blessing; you live forever, watching humanity evolve never getting hurt and wisdom. Now here are some ways that it is a curse; boredom, never growing, watching friends and family grow and die and not being able to live with society.

    "Motifs of Amy Tan's 'The Joy Luck Club'" is about the motifs and themes in section 1 of Amy Tan's "The Joy Luck Club." It deals with motifs such as the color red, the five elements, and promises.

    Theme seeds have also began to spring up throughout the book. When Ying-Ying tells the story of the Moon Lady, she says, "So I thought as Amah only as someone for my comfort, the way you might think of a fan in the summer or a heater in the winter, a blessing you appreciate and love only when it is no longer there." This brings about the theme of selfishness and taking things for granted. She is saying that you don't realize how much you want and need something until it's not around anymore.…

    Milkweed Essay Example

    The last possible theme that I think is good for this book is to never have fear and if you do have fear, you won’t survive. One event that supports this theme is when Uri tells the other orphan boys that if you have fear you won’t survive on the streets. This is true because if the boys had fear to steal the food from stores and people they would mess-up a lot or not even do it. If that happened, they would either get caught and killed, or just end up…

    Tuck Palmer Intro Book Summary

    I already have mixed feelings about this book. Although I have found a lot of truth in the introduction, on the second page Palmer states “If you are a teacher who never has bad days, or who has them but does not care, this book is not for you. This book is for teachers who have good days and bad, and whose bad days bring the suffering that comes only from something one loves. It is for teachers who refuse to harden their hearts because they love learners, learning and the teaching life.” I disagree with the point that Palmer is making. The Lord says we should never dwell on anything; You should not bring suffering into the classroom. I do not think that teachers who “never have bad days” are people…

    Tuck Everlasting Analysis

    Tuck Everlasting, a book that will leave an impression, is written by Natalie Babbitt, a person who shows the reader her determination to convey a beautiful fantasy while using figurative language to hold the readers everlasting attention. In my opinion, Tuck Everlasting is a lovely piece of art in the finest sense. The use of figurative language did in fact hold my attention, and did in fact leave a long-lasting impression on me. In the third or fourth grade, I had read Tuck Everlasting as a reading assignment in school. Let’s just say I wasn’t exactly the one to be caught with a book in my hands, but Tuck Everlasting is one of the books that made me enjoy reading much, much more than sitting around and watching television. I had remembered…

    Growing Up In Slavery

    In this book, it explains the distress and grief these slaves had to face in their everyday lives. There is ten slaves and each of them wrote their own story about what they had to face each and everyday. For example, one of the slaves is Frederick Douglass. He was the most famous African American of the nineteenth century. This book, sets back into the eighteen hundreds and kids at eight years old would be taken away from their loved ones and were put to work like cattle by their new possessor. For example, Frederick Douglas at the age of eight was taken from his mother without even saying goodbye. Douglas had to call his new controller Aunt Kathy or he would get a flogging. He explains the misery he had to sustain and how many times he was beaten or punished to starve. For example, he wrote about his new owner Kathy, “The cheerful eye, under the influence of slavery, soon became red with rage; the voice, made all of sweet accord changed to one harsh and horrid discord; and that angelic face gave place to that of a demon”. (Taylor, 2005, p. 58). Each slave at the end of their story explains their after life. Growing Up In Slavery makes you think of life in other people’s shoes and how it would make you feel if you were them.…

    A Long Way Gone - 1

    The theme of this novel is that no matter what happens in your life there is always hope. Throughout the story Beah faced many hardships. I think the biggest hardship he faced was the fact that he was separated from his family. His family was lost out in Sierra Leone and could have even been killed by the rebels. I have no idea what I would do if a civil war broke out in the United States and all of these different militias terrorized different towns killing innocent people for no reason. I cannot imagine how I could handle being separated by my family and being forced to become a kid solider and kill other innocent people. I have no idea how Beah is able to overcome all of this at the age of twelve. Another very sad moment was when Beah was literally down the street from his parents when another group of rebels attacked the village forcing Beah to go into hiding while his family fled away from him. Beah essentially lost his family for a second time. In spite of all that happened to Beah he was able to survive and make a new life for himself and try and forget about his lost childhood. No matter what Beah went through he still had hope.…

    There's A Werewolf In Town Analysis

    The theme of the story is that even that even though times are tough there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. We see this when Tommy goes through conflicts with his family and his community. His family didn’t really listen to his problem. He feels depressed, disappointed, and confused on what to do. Lewis Gardner emphasized this during the first part of the story when Tommy tried to tell his parents they started to talk about a different topic. The community also ignored him. When he told his doctor about his problem the doctor seemed as if he didn’t care about him at all. When he tries to tell the police chief about his problem he started talking in between Tommy’s sentences. In the end Tommy leaves his house and meets a girl who becomes his friend by the name of Mary who has the same problem.…
