Tuck everlasting chapter 20-21

What motive did Mae Tuck have for killing the man in the yellow suit? Do you agree or disagree with her actions? Do you feel that this makes Mae a bad person? Be sure to answer each part of the question, and support your answers with details.

Mae's motive to kill the man in the yellow suit was becasue he was going to take Winnie away and he was going to try to sell the spring water.  I do not agree with what Mae's actions. I do not feel that this makes Mae a bad person. Mae has done so many wonderful things for her and her family.  I know this because the text says,"Please, child... dear, dear child...don't you be scared." (pg. 32)  This piece of evidence shows that Mae was trying to comfort winnie when they kidnapped her.  "Dear Lord, don't cry! Please don't cry, child!"  (pg. 34) I used this piece of evidence because it shows Mae taking care of Winnie.  "- and we'll take you back as soon as we can. Tomorrow. I promise." (pg. 34) This piece of evidence shows that Mae is promising and giving winnie hope.  All of these three pieces of evidence show that Mae is a great person and she has a good heart.
