As she walks through the door after a long and exhausting day, Monee King is greeted with “Hey Mom!”, from her 4 beautiful teenage girls. She cooks an amazing dinner after cooking for others all day.

“When I was little I would think of ways to kill my daddy.” This beginning to the novel “Ellen Foster” by Kaye Gibbons, prepares readers to enter the world of one of the most influential and appealing young woman protagonists in modern fiction. Ellen Foster, the main character of the book by Gibbons, is, in my view, the most fascinating and remarkable character in the story. Readers are introduced to the narrator Ellen, a determined, yet mature and individualistic eleven-year-old, who lives in the South during the 1970s. She lives with an alcoholic father and a sick mother. Ellen must go through many hardships and face much trauma, when she foreshadows her mother’s death and the long journey in front of her by saying that a storm is coming- “I can smell the storm and see the air thick with the rain coming.” (p.7). Young Ellen must go through much more than the average child her age, but she knows that she will get her happy ending. After dealing with her abusive father and depressed mother, Ellen deserves to go to a happy family, one that will accept her with smiles on their faces and joy in their eyes. Even if it means jumping from foster home to foster home, from a cruel grandmother to a condescending aunt and cousin, Ellen will find the people that will love her, even if it means first having to go to those who don’t.

Mae Tuck had been held in custody for the past few days and was due to hang in the gallows. She was convicted of the murder of Henry Collins, a bright man with whom we spoke to earlier this week. Furthermore, Mae Tuck and her family were accused of kidnapping the girl who helped her escape prison, Winifred. Winifred, however, claims that this accusation is untrue and that she went with the Tuck family on her own will. "Winnie was always such a well-behaved young lady," Winifred's mother sniffled, "she has certainly changed since she has returned home. I don't know what that monstrous family has done to our poor Winnie. She has suddenly become extremely deceptive and persuasive and her intentions are clouded, we can't trust her anymore."

On a long dirt road in a wooden farmhouse in Mississippi, lived Bessie Vanburen, her 4 children, and her husband John Vanburen. Bessie was a beloved mother who did everything for everyone else before seeing about herself. She had 3 ?boys and 1 girl. Jackson & Justin were the oldest boys who were identical twins. Jonathan was the middle son who had autism where he needed proper care for his health. Jennifer was the only girl & the baby who was always whining about having to do stuff with her brothers all the time. Bessie was a very caring young woman who didn?t work but did housewife chores all day every day. ?The more dirt around the house the more she felt the need to clean up. At the age of 16 Bessie found love while playing in the field yard with some friends. Mr. John Vanburen took her hand in marriage and started a family with her. Although, Bessie was a slave she was very sick but was too busy to focus on her health. ?She stayed in the field majority of the day while her husband go? out and work to provide. The kids would be tagging along with her because there weren?t any babysitters around the way. Bessie was very young with a life of her own.

(43) “That feeling- it tied her to them [...] but there were new threads now, tugging and insistent, which tied her just as firmly to the Tucks (as to her family)” (50) These quotes show that Winnie is friends with the Tucks and wouldn’t betray them because of her “ties” to them, ties of trust and loyalty. Winnie's firm bond with the Tucks assists her to decide to keep the Tuck’s secret.

I read the book Tuck Everlasting, by Natalie Babbitt. The book was published on July 2007. In the book Winnie decided to run away, but meets a boy who’s family has a secret, they are immortal. Will Winnie choose to be immortal or mortal?

Winnie and Tuck talk about life and how she should not drink the water from the spring. on page 63, “We ain't part of the wheel not more dropped off, Winnie.” In other words the Tuck’s can’t grow any older than they are now. Another example, is on page 64, “If I knew how to Climb back on the wheel I’d do it in a minute.” This saying that he regrets drinking the spring water.

Have you ever wondered what it is like to be immortal?Well, the Tucks are immortal.They found a spring in the woods and drank from it.Then, later on the family and the horse had several incedents when they should have died but didnt.In this essay, you will hear the opinions of two of family members.

I remember the day just like it was yesterday, the pale color and coldness of her skin. The sky was clear blue, soft, with a touch of red, and the trees seemed stiff in their bright green shade. The wind was blowing with its humid dry air. And All I could do was stand silently in disbelief, caught up in my own thoughts and calm as I ever been. Wondering what I could have done differently to change the course of time, life had taken us upon. Since that very day a chunk of my heart was ripped away, and broken into pieces… “Oh how I miss her so much.”
