| From Classbrain.com's Language Arts Living Forever, a Lesson Plan for Tuck Everlasting
In Tuck Everlasting we meet a family that has drunk from a spring, which gave them immortality. While some people hunt for them, looking for a way to gain their own immortality, one young girl is faced with the choice of whether the spring is a gift or a curse.
What would it be like to live forever? Is it best to live forever or are we who we are partially because our time is limited? Are there other types of immortality? Would you want to drink from the stream to be with your first love forever? Do you think Winnie makes the correct choice? Are there any significant differences between the film and the book?
