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. Old Majors action was him calling a meeting to tell the rest of the animals his idea about the rebellion. The risk of Old Majors action was that Mr. Jone might have came into the barn* and caught the animals. If he caught the animals he most likely would have whipped probably all of them; with the exception of his favorite animals. (e.g. Molly the pony.). Old Major called the meeting because he was sick and tired of being treated cruelly by humans*. Napoleon now, had many important actions. One of his important actions was him chasing* Snowball off the farm. The risk of Napoleon doing that was that the animals might find out about Napoleon chasing Snowball off the farm. I think Napoleon did that action because he didn’t like Snowball. Snowball is very similar to Napoleon because Snowball was a natural born leader like Napoleon. Although many people may say that Snowballs most important action was trying to be leader with Napoleon I disagree. I think that Snowballs most important action was him taking over the farm. I believe this happened right

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.)

    If you enjoy a book more than a movie. Then you’re going to agree with me if you have read the book of Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt and watched the movie Tuck Everlasting from Disney. Tuck Everlasting is a story about a girl named Winnie who meets a family that is burdened by being immortal. Natalie Babbit’s Tuck Everlasting is better than Disney’s Tuck Everlasting, because it gives more imagery, suspense, and characterization.…

    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.…

    Wouldn’t you like to never age, never get injured, and live forever? I wouldn’t. The Tucks from Tuck Everlasting had this dilemma when they found out that the spring had given them immortality. They had to chose to keep it secret or to let others know about it. I think the Tucks made the right decision to keep it secret because evolution will turn them into freaks, they are forced away from society, and life becomes pointless to them.…

    Biographical Lens George Orwell is the author of Animal Farm and he wrote it based off of what was going on in his life at that time. George Orwell was only his pen name because the publisher wanted to conceal his true identity. His real name was Eric Arthur Blair. 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.…
