What's The Difference Between Jesse And Angus Tuck
What is your view on immortality? Do you approve, disapprove? In the story we are faced with two characters, Jesse and Angus Tuck.Both are immortal but, both have different opinions.
Angus thinks immortality is a curse. He thinks this because he is probably a middle aged man and doesn’t want the stress of it all.Angus states that if he could “hop back on the wheel” he would in a heartbeat. Tuck also says that he wishes he could be in heaven with his family some day.
Jesse is the opposite of Tuck. He thinks immortality is a blessing. He says they should enjoy it while it’s there. I think he thinks this because he is a teenager and he is at the peak of his physical ability and has not seen much of the world and wants to explore it.

    In Martin Amis’s short story “The Immortals” the readers are told the story of a man’s life as an immortal. The man is also the narrator and majority of the story is being told during a nuclear war. Throughout the story is becomes known that the narrator lacks credibility and he is not an immortal, which he claims to be. Firstly, the title of Amis’s short story is plural which automatically gives the reader the impression that there will be multiple immortals.…

    In the novel Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbit, a girl named Winnie meets the Tuck family and she must decide whether or not she should drink from the magic spring and live forever. I believe that Winnie should not drink from the spring for many reasons. First of all, if she drinks from the spring and lives eternally, she will have to watch as all of her friends and family die as they age. Additionally, if she lives forever her life will lose its purpose. Also, if she doesn’t age, people will get suspicious of her and they will get scared and desert her. Finally, after she drinks from the spring she will stop growing and changing, like it says on page 63 “Left behind. And everywhere around us things is moving, growing, and changing”.…

    Like some bad reasons are,having to watch your family and friends die and burying your family and friends,you couldn’t go to heaven to meet God,and you would become lonely when everyone around you like your friends and family dies. So there are many different reasons to why or why not to drink from the spring in Tuck Everlasting. In my opinion though,I say no,I wouldn’t drink from the spring in Tuck Everlasting,just because of having to watch my friends and family die right in front of me and I couldn’t do anything about it…

    Hearing the word fatalism, the literal definition comes to mind. Although it is defined as the philosophy that life is short and meaningless, the story behind fatalism is a lot richer than it appears. The way this philosophy has been reflected in contemporary works varies dramatically from the time of the Anglo-Saxon period. In the days of Beowulf, fatalism was a strong belief. The philosophy was often reflected in their work such as the epic Beowulf. Beowulf was an epic hero but despite his inhuman abilities to shield his land, he still proved to be mortal. In contemporary work, a hero tends to be immortal. Therefore, although fatalism continues to exist in the dictionary, it has become dead in the work of the contemporary world as shown…

    Beowulf's Legacy

    • 620 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Many human characteristics derive from the imperative trait of self-interest. This egoistic personality can be observed through the ages. A resulting characteristic from this self-centered behavior is the ambition for a lasting legacy. Self-centered behavior creates an aspiration for a legacy because people want their own names to be well remembered. Therefore, a legacy can create an illusion of immortality and have an eternal impact on future generations. In the epic poem Beowulf, Shield Sheafson, Hrothgar, and Beowulf display a will for a legacy. The Scop reveals the desire for a lasting legacy as an archetypal human trait because a legacy decreases the fear of death by providing a form of immortality and as a result can be seen throughout human history.…
