Summarize
Chapters 1-8

In chapters 1-8 of Tuck Everlasting, it describes how Winnie Foster meets the Tucks.
Winnie lives in an overprotective house in the village of Treegap with her parents and
grandmother.Their house is on the edge of the woods they own but never go into.
The Tucks are getting excited to see their sons whom they have not seen in ten
years. Mae is heading off to meet them, but they say that she has to be careful not to
be seen. She does not look in the mirror before she goes because it says she has
looked the same for the past 87 years. May takes along her music box as she goes
off to meet her sons. Winnie has a conversation with a toad. She talks about how
hard her life is and she decides to run away. That night Winnie heads out to her yard
and meets a stranger walking by who asks her about the woods and the people she
knows in the area. He tells her that he is looking for a family. Winnie’s grandmother
comes out to tell Winnie to go inside. Just then some music is heard in the woods.
The grandmother says it is the elf music she hasn’t heard in years. Winnie thinks it
sounds like a music box and the stranger is very interested in it.

Epilogue

What does the reader learn from the epilogue in this novel? Do
you think the epilogue was necessary?

I learned that Winnie didn’t go to the creek to get some of the
water. Also that the wood and the water was gone because of a
fire and they had to bulldoze the place and covered the water
and that Winnie has been dead for two years. I think that the
epilogue was important because it showed us what happened
after Winnie gave that water to the toad.
