Tuck Everlasting

Great Essays
Animal Farm. Tuck Everlasting. What are these names? Well I’ll tell you. Animal Farm and Tuck Everlasting are two amazing books written by George Orwell* and Natalie Babbitt*. Animal Farm is based on the issues/problems caused by the Russian Revolution; and Tuck Everlasting is mostly about how immortality isn’t always that great. Another common theme for Tuck Everlasting is love is forever.
Animal Farm in a brief summary is a story in which animals take over a farm because they are mistreated by their owner (Mr.Jones). Some important characters in Animal Farm are the following: Old Major, Snowball, Napoleon, Boxer, Clover, Squealer, Mr. Jones, and Mr. Pilkington. These animals and humans had many actions and risks taken from those actions.

When she does she finds the Tuck family. The Tuck family then have to explain their secret to Winnie because of the awkward situation Winnie finds the youngest son in. The main characters in the book Tuck Everlasting are the following; Winnie, Jesse, Mae, Tuck, Miles, and the Man in The Yellow Suit. Winnie is the most significant of them all. She is the most significant of them all because without Winnie we wouldn’t have the same story. If Winnie weren’t there then there would be whole new characters, settings, etc. In my opinion I think Winnies most important action was her taking her “walk” through the woods. The risk was that an animal might attack her. I think Winnie took that risk because she really wanted to get away from her neat tidy home. Another important character is Mae. One of Mae’s important actions was her killing the Man in the Yellow Suit. The risk was that she might get hanged and her secret will be revealed*. I think Mae killed the man because she wanted to protect and finish explaining everything to Winnie. One more important character is Angus Tuck. I think that Angus Tuck’s most important action was him taking Winnie fishing. The risk of that was that Winnie could have fallen overboard or someone could have recognized her and told the sheriff. I think that Angus took Winnie fishing because he wanted to explain things to Winnie (About the immortality.)

    I see kindness in the book because Mae cares for Winnie like a daughter, and not many people these days do that. The last theme is courage, for the Tucks do whatever it takes to care for each other. You may disagree with me, but I vow to prove to you these themes are truly the heart of Tuck Everlasting. Winnie really shows loyalty in Tuck Everlasting, for example in the book Winnie says, “ I came because I wanted to .” Hear that, Winnie breaks her parent’s trust just so she can protect the Tuck family, and if that is not pure loyalty I don’t know what is.…

    The last major theme in “Tuck Everlasting” is the breaking of rules, laws and risky behaviour.

He wrote Animal Farm in 1944 but it was only published in 1945 because nobody would publish it for its insult to Stalin. In the 1930's Orwell fought for the communists in the Spanish Civil War against their fascist leader.…
