Why Didn T Drink From The Spring In Tuck Everlasting
Tuck Everlasting Essay

There are many good reasons and bad reasons to drink from the spring in Tuck Everlasting.Like some good reasons to drink from the spring are,living forever,exploring the world going on many great adventures,and you could do many great things for the world and mean something to the world and never die. Also there is another half of drinking from the spring.A bad side of things.

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 and it’s the same way with my friends and other people around me,even people I don’t know.I would have to watch all those people die and I wouldn’t have to worry about dying,but everyone else have to worry about dying by sickness and war and all sorts of different things normal people can die from.

I wouldn’t,because I wanna live a normal happy life not an usual life without dying. I want to live a good long life full of adventures,but I don’t want my life to last forever without my family or my friends.That life would get old and boring with nobody there to live it with,so I would not drink from the spring in Tuck Everlasting,because I don’t wanna live forever in a lonely world without any other people or even any

    The spring is what makes the Tucks live on forever, because they drank from it. In the movie, it is just Miles that kidnapped Winnie(movie). Furthermore, there is another difference in the movie and book. At the end of the movie Mae and Angus Tuck are charged for kidnapping and are sent to jail, but in the movie only Mae Tuck was sent to jail. One quote from the book and movie is when Angus Tuck says to Winnie” Don’t be afraid of death, be afraid of the unlived life”. In conclusion, there are many differences, but those are just two.…

    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”.…

    Conclusion: I believe that if it is your time to die then it is going to happen. It does not matter how often you saw a doctor or if you have access to medication. Access to healthcare will diagnose the problem but it does not mean that the problems will be solved. For example: a wealthy person develops a terminal cancer, it doesn’t matter how many times they see a doctor, and they’re still going to die. Yes, seeing the doctor will help prolong death but at the end if you are going to die it’s going to…
