    Tuck Palmer Intro Book Summary

    I already have mixed feelings about this book. Although I have found a lot of truth in the introduction, on the second page Palmer states “If you are a teacher who never has bad days, or who has them but does not care, this book is not for you. This book is for teachers who have good days and bad, and whose bad days bring the suffering that comes only from something one loves. It is for teachers who refuse to harden their hearts because they love learners, learning and the teaching life.” I disagree with the point that Palmer is making. The Lord says we should never dwell on anything; You should not bring suffering into the classroom. I do not think that teachers who “never have bad days” are people…

    Why We Should Winnie Drink In Tuck Everlasting

    In the novel Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbit, a girl named Winnie meets the Tuck family and she must decide whether or not she should drink from the magic spring and live forever. I believe that Winnie should not drink from the spring for many reasons. First of all, if she drinks from the spring and lives eternally, she will have to watch as all of her friends and family die as they age. Additionally, if she lives forever her life will lose its purpose. Also, if she doesn’t age, people will get suspicious of her and they will get scared and desert her. Finally, after she drinks from the spring she will stop growing and changing, like it says on page 63 “Left behind. And everywhere around us things is moving, growing, and changing”.…

    Summary Of William Faulkner's A Rose For Emily

    In the story, Faulkner cleverly exposes the problems in the South after the Civil War through the story of the life of Emily Grierson. Faulkner deliberately reverses the order of timeline so that readers easily leave out details of the story; however, this “complicatedly disjunctive time scheme” makes the story more interesting by making the readers string all incidents in the story which seem almost unrelated to each other to find out the content of the story (Dilworth 252). Revolving around the life of Emily, Faulkner’s story reveals the isolation of Emily, her desire to be happy, and the decline of the South. Living in the period of switching from the old to the new, Emily has become a typical victim of that society. Through the tragedy of Emily’s life, Faulkner also highlights the importance of the interaction between the old and the new so that one does not completely brush off the values of the past nor is lost in the new, modern…

    Tuck Everlasting Analysis

    Tuck Everlasting, a book that will leave an impression, is written by Natalie Babbitt, a person who shows the reader her determination to convey a beautiful fantasy while using figurative language to hold the readers everlasting attention. In my opinion, Tuck Everlasting is a lovely piece of art in the finest sense. The use of figurative language did in fact hold my attention, and did in fact leave a long-lasting impression on me. In the third or fourth grade, I had read Tuck Everlasting as a reading assignment in school. Let’s just say I wasn’t exactly the one to be caught with a book in my hands, but Tuck Everlasting is one of the books that made me enjoy reading much, much more than sitting around and watching television. I had remembered…

    Emily Grierson In Faulkner's A Rose For Emily

    Later in this gothic story Emily Grierson dies (ultimately where the story begins), “our whole town went to her funeral” (Faulkner, 52). Few people had seen the inside of her house in the last decade. Once they buried Emily they quickly opened the upstairs, “which no one had seen in forty years” (Faulkner, 58). When the door was opened they found Homer Barron lying on the bed, decaying. Surrounded in a room full of unworn, unused wedding memorabilia. On the bed beside him was an impression of where a body once laid. On the pillow adjacent to his, “we saw a long strand of iron-grey hair” (Faulkner, 59).…

    The sky was a ragged blaze of red and pink and orange, and its double trembled on the surface of the pond like color spilled from a paintbox. The sun was dropping fast now, a soft red sliding egg yolk, and already to the east there was a darkening to purple. Winnie, newly brave with her thoughts of being rescued, climbed boldly into the rowboat.…
