Chapter 10

The Tuck family is really growing on me.  The more I read about them the more I like them and even feel bad for them.

Why don't they have any friends?

Chapter 3

really like this chapter, it made me think a lot about my house, my parents, my possessions.  I think that's one of the things I like most about Natalie Babbitt's writing, she makes me think.  Here is the question:
-How do you think Winnie's life at home compares to yours?

Movies vs Books

I find that most movies made after a book really let me down, they just don't capture the characters in the book like I wish they would.   I do however really like most of the Harry Potter movies and I also like the books. 
   The Tuck Everlasting movie is MUCH different than the book and has a totally different ending, for that reason I am not a big fan of the movie.
  Let's make this a post about comparing movies and books of the same title.  Please tell us the name of the movie / book and tell us which one you liked more and why?  Of course other people are encouraged to write back to you and offer opinions about your choice in a RESPECTFUL way.
   Have fun!
