Tuck Everlasting ch. 11-16

In these chapters Winnie has learned much more about the effects of drinking the spring water.  The Tucks have also imparted how drinking the spring water will affect the wheel of life.  Although Angus, Mae, and Miles think being immortal is a horrible predicament, Jesse is much more positive about it. 

Do you think Winnie should drink from the spring when she is 17 so she can be with Jesse?  Why or why not?

    No because then her mom will probably get mad at Winnie if she gets married with Jessie. If Winnie gets married with Jesse then they will both want to run away and if she want's to drink the water from the spring and she gets married with Jesse then later on she will be mad for drinking the water if she gets bored of living her whole life.

    i think winnie should drink the water only if she wants to live forever because if she wants to live forever then she will drink it. but maybe later on she might change her mind and want to be normal again but she has already drank the water. she will have to think it through for a long time before she decides what she wants to do.

  6. Ryan I think that Winnie should drink from the spring because she does really likes him. here is a reasons why she shouldn't drink from the spring, she would never age, people wouldn't like her any more, and maybe her own family wouldn't trust her any more.

    Well yes Winnie should drink from it when she is seventeen that way she will be seventeen for ever. But like if she doesnt like Jesse then she should just keep on living her life. Maybe find someone that she likes. But in my part it looks like jesse really likes her and would want to be with her forever. So then after that they can live happily ever after.

    Yes because winnie and jesse will be together when winnie is 17. And so they could get married and live forever.

  9. I think she should drink from the spring because if they really like each other then they will do anything to be together. If she doesn't drink from the spring they can still be together but she'll get older and Jesse will stay the same and thats not right because he is 17 forever and she is going to look older than him.

    No,I think that she should not drink the water because she might reegret it later on when she is "old".She might also get bored of living a "life" that she can't enjoy.Or even later on not like Jesse anymore!I think she should enjoy her life and be happy with Jesse until she dies.

    I think that Winnie should drink the water at 17. So she coould never grow old and be with jesse as long as she wants. I think that jesse would want Winnie to drink the water so they could be together.I think that Winnie will not drink the water since the Tuck's already told her about the Spring.

    I think she shouldn't drink out of the water because maybe she will get tired of living the same age forever and she might not going to like jesse anymore.

    I think that Winnie should drink the spring water because she seems like she loves Jesse and Jesse loves her. They should get married when she is 17 but it would be kind of early to have a family. I know that Jesse has many plans for being with Winnie.

  15. I think that winni should drink from the water if she want to. But she would have tothink a bout it for a long time. I think that she probily won't drink the water because the Tucks have told her all of that stuff a bout the water, and that will probily change her mind. But if she dose drink the water she will get to live forever. But she dose not know jessi that well and I dont think that she should do that when she is 17. She should stay the way she is because she will not e able to finish the life cycle or the wheel of life as Tuck says

    Yes i do think that because they will never die and they will have eachother forever and ever and ever till the end of time. But i also think they should not be together because Mae wantd to raise a mortal daughter because she wants to see winnie grow up and live her full life instead of being one age till the end of time. So i am kinda yes they should but im also no they souldn't.

  17. Yes, I think winnie should get married with Jesse when shes 17 years old and drink out of the spring because if she really loves him I think she could drink somee of the spring water and live forever inmortal atleast they will love each other and Jesse will not be alone with his inmortal problem and they will live happy ever after!!!!:)

  18. I think that Winnie should drink the spring water when she is 17 and run off with Jesse so they can get married. she might have a great time with him and they won't ever get old and they can do almost anyting together because they will never die. they will just keep living their life and enjoying it. since Jesse realy likes her they will do anything to be together. But maybe if Winnie finds another guy that she will be able to be with and still grow then she shouldn't drink the spring water.

    No, i think that winnie will get bored of being young and the same age. She should just forget about the spring water. Winnie should just get married with jesses and get to know what its like to be old. Being a normal person is better than being a person who doesn't change at all.

    I think that winne should wait until she is 17 because so she can look the same age as Jesse. If Jesse date a girl that look smaller then him some people would think he is a perve, but if winne look the same some people want say any thing.

    Winnie should do what she thinks is right and not have to be told by anyone what to do because then it will feel like her grandma and mom are their but personally I think she should drink from the fountain and get married with jesse and have kids and so they can both see them grow up.

    I dont think she should drink the water because I think she will grow tired of her life and people will notice she is not aging in her life and will think it is unusual.

    Yes i do think that Winnie should drink the water. So she and jesse can have a family together and they will probly never leave each other because they know that they are going to live forever. and always trust each other because they know there never going to grow old. because they both drank the the Everlasting water. Also if she drank the water then she could be with jesse forever.

  29. No,I think she shouldn't drink the water because she will want to live more of her life. Than being the same age forever she might want to get old. Feels what everybody is going threw there lifes. Than rather staying the same forever.

  31. I'm surprised so many of you think Winnie should drink from the spring. Didn't Tuck's talk on the pond make you think twice about wanting everlasting life?

  32. Jordan,
    well i don't think Winnie should drink from the spring, because i know Jesse loves her but does he love her enough to have her not drink from it? And even if she did drink from it she'd have to wait until she's 17... and what if while he's gone she could possibly fall for another guy. i mean cause she's only 11 and i don't think you can fall in love so early.

  33. Yes I think winnie should drink the water so her and Jessie could live a happy live together without her dieing or getting hurt really bad, but at the sametime I don't think Winnie should drink it because it says in the book that her mother and grandmother are over protective and they might find something odd or weird about her and they might ask her what is wrong why aren't you getting older or changeing, then she will have to tell them whats going, then she will have to explain to them , then once they know they are gonna want to drink the spring too, they might also get mad at her to...so no
