Tuck Everlasting assessment 1
In chapter 8 Mae Tuck says that the spring is a big dangerous secret. Do you agree or disagree? Support your answer with reasons and examples.
I agree with Mae Tuck that the spring is a big dangerous secret. I say this because for 1, if everybody in the whole wide world knew about it then all the parents of children will never have the oppurtunity to be a grandma or grandpa. My second reason would be all the kids that drink it at their young age will never experience growing up and the good and bad sides of growing up. Like, getting their driver's license or graduating from high school or college. My 3rd and last reason would be everyone would live to the end of the world. To me, that's pretty scary to think about. A lot of people say that it will happen so fast that you won't even feel it, but it would be kind of scary to know that the world is going to end in however many days.

social studies
1) How does religion influence the people of your civilization?
- A way the religion influences the people of my civilization is the citizens know that if they follow the rules of the religion then the ruler or leader of the religion, like for example, God, will eventually grant you something good or you will go to Heaven. It's these kinds of things that make people want to follow or study a religion more.

nts chapter 14 discussion
1) Describe Annemarie and Ellen’s relationship.
2) Think about the relationship you have with one of your best friends. Compare your friendship to Annemarie & Ellen’s friendship. How are your friendships similar? How are they different?
3) In chap. 3 Annemarie is asked whether she is willing to risk her life for her best friend. Would you be willing to die for your best friend? Explain
1)Annemarie and Ellen's relationship is super close. They are best friends.
2)A way my relationship with my best friend are like Annemarie and Ellen's relationship is we do almost everything together. A way we are different from Annemarie and Ellen is we don't live in Denmark like them and we have the same colored hair, unlike Annemarie has blonde hair and Ellen has brown hair.
3)The last question is a bit hard. I am actually nit quite sure if I would die for my best friend? I guess I would die for my best friend. Actually, yes, yes I would. Especially if it is this type of a situation.

NTS chapter & discussion
Identify at least one example for each of the four types of figurative language we have studied in class. (Simile, Metaphor, Hyperbole, and Personification) Write the example, be sure to include the page number where you found it, and then explain in your own words what the author was trying to convey.
My first figurative language example is a metaphor. "The God of Thunder made a very small rain shower in the corner of the kitchen floor." (pg. 70) The author is using a metaphor to compare Thor's (Kirsti's cat) pee to a rain shower. He compared something wet that is descriptive to the pee. Another figurative language example is a personification. "...pictured a mound of frightened butter under military arrest." (pg.69) The author is using a personification to describe all the butter that has been taken and given to all the soldiers. Another figurative language example that I have is a simile. "...the one who looks like a silly giraffe." (pg.9) In this example of figurative language the author describing what a person looks like by comparing to something similar. My last figurative language example is called a hyperbole. "Annemarie's heart sank and she looked at her mother." (pg.55) I think the author is using hyperbole to really describe what Annemarie was feeling.

NTS chapter and discussion
Point of View: From who's point of view is this story being told? How do you know?
Setting: Where is the story taking place? During what time period? What does the place look like? Explain the circumstance sin which the people are living.
#1 The story is being told by the author. I know this because in the story there are the words like, he, she, him, her, herself, himself. This is called, 3rd person: Omniscient. I know this because the text says," She nodded at the soldier." (pg.4 Chap.1) " And she new what resistance meant." (pg.9 Chap.1) " He ginned, kissed her cheek, and ruffled her long hair." That is my 3 pieces of evidence to support my answer.
#2 The story takes place in Denmark. The time period that the story takes place in is 1943, when World War ll is going on. The place looks very "watched". When I say watched I mean there are German soldiers on every single street, watching every single person pass by. The type of life these people are living in is very horrible. The Government is taking citizens sugar, butter, and many more life needed supplies from the people of Denmark.
