How Does Tuck Everlasting Affect Our Life

4. Anaphora- “Fear that your children will find you dead on the bath­room floor of a heart attack if you do not have angioplasty surgery. Fear that a cheap casket will expose your grandmother to a terrible underground fate.

Human life is valuable, but doesn’t last forever, but recently scientists have come up with ideas to prolong life. This would be good in some ways, but overall, life is something to be cherished, and should not last forever. In the article “Should We Live Forever?” by Justin O’Neill, it states, “If babies continue to be born but no one dies, population growth - already straining Earth’s resources - will accelerate. Providing food, water, shelter, and education will be a huge challenge.”

What does it mean to be immortal? The word immortal means to live on forever, never dying or ceasing to exist. In the book "The immortal life of Henrietta lacks," Rebecca Skloot writes about how Henrietta's cells have been living long after Henrietta herself died, making the cells what one calls immortal. Both spiritual and literal immortality is being presented to the reader throughout the book. As one reads deeper into the book, they find that immortality is one of the major themes concerning the cells, Deborah, and the story that ties it all together.

In the book, The Crucible by Arthur Miller, some examples of fear are, Abigail is scared of losing John Proctor so she starts accusing Elizabeth Proctor so she is taken to jail.

In the novel Tuck Everlasting,written by Natalie Babbitt Winnie Foster meets a family called the Tucks, she soon finds out they have a very important secret and they are depending on her to keep it.

“Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living in our fears.” (Les Brown). This is observed in numerous instances in The Book Thief. In the novel, fear can cripple indistinguishably as physical injury by subjugating one’s tenets, forcing paranoia down their throats, and ever so carefully whispering the panic. This may result in either a cracking, collapsing whimper or a roaring laughter.

` Lastly, I believe if there is no death, there is no point in life. You know you have forever to do whatever you want to, you won’t live life to the fullest. In my opinion, you will procrastinate on everything. As Natalie Babbitt tells us in her book in, chapter 12, page 49without dying., “If I’d known how to climb back on the wheel, I’d do it in a minute. You can’t live without dying. ” She also tells us how the Tucks feel about living forever in, chapter 12, page 50. “So you can’t call it living what we got.We just are, we just be like rocks , like rocks beside the

I would have to stay in the same grade forever and I will never marry or have kids. Basically my future was gone. I would never have any permanent friends
