parents and grandmother.Their house is on the edge of the woods they own
but never go into.

music box as she goes off to meet her sons.

Epilogue

What does the reader learn from the epilogue in this novel? Do
you think the epilogue was necessary? Yes! I totally think the
epilogue was necessary. It was saying important things about
the treegap and it told us that Winnie died. I think It's the most
important part of the book if I have to be honest.

Pg 100 “Ma no!” I really did not think
that Mae was going to
Pg 98 kill him I thought she
was going to say “
theres has to be some
misunderstanding”

They had all different
perspectives about
what's happening

Pg 124 Winnie was all
concerned about the
weather why her not
helping the tucks
getting mae out

Pg 121 Why did Winnie leave
the cottage again?? I
Pg 132 thought they were
kidnappers to her
perspective.

When Winnie decided
to stand up for the frog
and saved him i
thought Winnie really
did not care about the
frog

cottage and she is very
aware of her
surroundings. Her
parents are very over
protective about her.
she always wanted to
be free from her family.
She's very smart and
always just wanted to
be herself.
