Tuck Everlasting
Is it accurate to say that fiction is truly that fabulous? I cherish fiction books, well, most fiction books. This book is called "Tuck everlasting" and it's fundamentally a terrible Titanic. It's based more around the affection story than the genuine clash. Which is somewhat pitiful, since the expectation of the story wasn't too awful. Not exceptionally unique, but rather not awful.

The book discusses how a young lady finds a spring brimming with water that will make you live until the end of time. She finds a gathering of individuals that drank from that spring, and learns critical life lessons along the way, which were quite fundamental. Even though that doesn't matter! Let’s skim through that am I right Natalie haha. As this stuff happens
…show more content…

The young lady truly loved the kid and he loved her, he gave her water so when she's 17 she can drink it and they can venture to the far corners of the planet. She then continues to dump the water on a frog. A frog! The main piece of water she will have the capacity to acquire for some time is presently gone! Why? She wasn't prepared and she could 'get it any other time she wants'. Despite the fact that she had a decent FIVE years to hold up! She then bites the dust in the very end of the book while the family visits her grave. Like I said, awful ending! Also, the main message of the book was cut short. “Everything’s a wheel, turning and turning, never stopping. The frog is part of it, and the fish, and the wood thrush, too. But never the same ones. Always moring on. That’s the way it’s supposed to be. That’s the way it is.” Very good description and writing, cut short because of a stolen horse. Do I need to explain anything?

Generally speaking, the book simply isn't a decent read keeping in mind it might keep you on the edge of your seat, will frustrate you in particular.The consummation is as I would see it, rubbish. Unless you have low desires for this book, you won't be satisfied. It's an exercise in futility to peruse this book and in general is not exceptionally

    This book was very different than anything I have ever read. I am still deciding whether I liked it or not. It was hard for me to follow because it kept jumping back in forth in time. The first three chapters I hap kept re-reading to focus and grasp what was going on. I was extremely confused and it went from the opening scene in 1931 to Milkman being four years old in one paragraph. I do feel this is a book you need to read over and over again to fully gain an understanding of the messages and symbols the author was displaying through each character. I thought the book was interesting that although it dealt with racial issues and focused on how characters such as Guitar and Milkman had different views of status and discrimination, their was very little mention of white characters in the book. The majority if not all the characters were black decent and it was purely one sided view on how the black race dealt with racial issues in a small town at that time. I think Pilate was a crazy character and I didn't like how long it dragged out to find the true nature of why her relationship was the way it was with her brother Macon Dead Jr. I feel like the author was changing the subject and jumping around so much that you never fully get to know any one character. I didn't like how the author killed Milkman in the end, it was as if you finally made some self discovery and then he jumps to his death. The book just builds and layers and builds, and when you finally feel like you might understand where it's leading three of the main characters die within the last pages. Aside from racial views and Milkmans self discovery from his life as his fathers son, to discovering his family history and where he wants to be in the future, I didn't really connect with any other character in the book, or understand their significance in his discovering…

    To add some positively to The Longman Reader I can say some important facts that they gave in the chapter are easy steps, but some people might not have known those. Other than that it shows us how we can look at books multiple ways. Not just one way. I like how this book has labeled sections in each of the chapters,…

    It is a difficult concept to understand that a world that was once full of butterflies, rainbows and positivity, hides much more than what the surface exhumes to children. The world has layers that uncover a child's innocence allowing them to transition into adulthood, where they learn all the imperfections of people and the world. At the end of the book, it starts to rain. Symbolizing the revealing and spilling out all the acceptance of adulthood. Once a teenager accepts the role of becoming an adult, the transitioning stress will reduce. With adulthood comes great responsibility. It is a new role, which means that abandoning childhood thoughts and values is a step in the right…

    The book would have benefited from either an expanded introduction (just seven pages plus two pages of definitions) or a thorough conclusion. Instead, the reader is left with a series of helpful but disparate and unconnected chapters and the overall picture isn't really brought together. Also, there is little to indicate which of the twelve chapters' trends are the most important, or how they interact.…

    Although his book could have definitely been improved in many ways, especially in his habit to briefly explain his rising actions, no other book provides clear understandings of its plots. His book provides clear scientific explanations, and perhaps the most valid of its time while simultaneously providing a nifty adventure. His value of scientific knowledge incorporated into each of the characters was a very interesting read. He also grabs the attention of readers by presenting puzzles that may be of curiosity to his…
