Tuck Everlasting

Tuck Everlasting is about a girl named Winnie who lives in a house with a fence all around. She doesn't have any freedom outside of the fenced area. One day she makes up her mind to discover the wood her family owns but they never explore. So she runs away to explore and then come at night. While discovering oh wonderful the wood is she finds a young boy drinking from an underground spring. His family has looked the same for 87 years! The spring in the wood is a youth spring. When Winnie discovers the spring of youth the Tuckers (Family of Youth) take her to explain the foutian.
"For the wood was full of light, entirely different from the light she was used to. It was green and amber and alive, quivering in sploctches on the padded ground, fanning into sturdy stripes between the tree trunks. There were little flowers she did not recognize, white and the palest blue; and endless, tangled vines; and here and there a fallen log, half rotted but soft with patches of sweet green-velvet moss." When I read this quote I felt the muggy warm breeze blocked by sturdy marron trees. Moss feeling like the foam they sell on T.V. fresh from th package and only stay that way for the first fifteen minutes. Flowers so tiny to touch them theymight break. Grass blades that are best for blowing but taste like earth. Logs of hollow old trees that make the best shelters to escape the rain. Vines weaving on trees desprite to reach the sun. Some vines have held on the logs for decades.
