From: mathieu Grade 5 John T. Tuck P.S. Burlington, Ontario	To: roaul I think that the man in the yellow suit is susuicious because he is always following Winnie. I also think he is suspicious because people in that town did not dress that way. What do you think?

From: Matthew Grade 5 John T. Tuck P.S. Burlington, Ontario	To: Carmen If I were Winnie I would believe the Tuck's story. I would believe it because I do believe in magic, but a magic fountain is pretty unbelievable. Also hearing the Tuck's story about the horse being shot and not being hurt at all and Jesse falling out of the tree and landing on his head without getting hurt could be true and amazing! Therefore, I would believe the Tuck's story.

From: Rachelle Grade 5 John T. Tuck P.S. Burlington, Ontario	To: carmen I think that it would be cool to live forever because you would see everything that happens in the world but it would not be cool because you would not see heaven.

From: Curtis Grade 5 John T. Tuck P.S. Burlington, Ontario	To: Carmen This book needs more action.

From: Danielle Grade 5 John T. Tuck P.S. Burlington, Ontario	To: Carmen This book is inturesing. I think the best part is when they drink the watter

From: curtis Grade 5 John T. Tuck P.S. Burlington, Ontario	To: sally do you like tuck everlasting i think tuck everlasting is a very boring book.I think there is not enough action.

From: MacKenzie Grade 5 John T. Tuck P.S. Burlington, Ontario	To: Ben Cindy I think the Tuck's story is happy and sad because they'll never die, but they"ll never see what it is like in hevean.

From: Jacky Grade 5 John T. Tuck P.S. Burlington, Ontario	To: Sandra How do you like Tuck Everlasting so far? I love it is awsome! I love this book I wish it was bigger so it would take me forever to read it. I wish this book was longer because I could write a good response to it.

From: Gesthika Grade 5 John T. Tuck P.S. Burlington, Ontario	To: Sally How do like Tuck Everlasting so far? I think it is a very good book because it made me want to read more. I'm on chapter 12? What chapter are you on?

From: Nick Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary	To: Tiffany Life is like a wheel because when it starts we are born when when we die it stops. Do you agree with me? please answer me.

From: Erica Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary	To: Mariela I think that Winnie wants to run away because her Grandmother and Mother are paying too much attention to Winnie for example "Winifred!Don't get your dress dirty!".Also she can't even go outside the gate! What do you think about the elf music?

From: Nick Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary	To: Curtis Why do you think it needs more action?

From: Taylor,Kelsey Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary	To: Carmen Life can be seen as a cycle or wheel because the wheel turns when you are alive and when the wheel comes off you DIE! But you might have babies and they will have babies and the life cycle keeps going. The purpose of death is if nobody died then there would be too many people and there would be no room. Some ways that people grow and change are learning from bad decisions and they won't do them any more, but if they do they are probably stupid or brave.

From: Evie, Rachel Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary	To: Shelby, Miguel, Sara, Jorge We are sorry that we can not tell you because we don't want to spoil the book for you. We just want you to enjoy the book. But we can answer some of your questions. We have an opinion for the question about the man in the yellow suit, we think that maybe he is someone looking for the Tucks or Winnie's father. We don't think that Mae is an elf because she sounds like a tall potato of a woman, and elf's are small and skinny. We would like your opinion about Mae and her boys about their personalitys.

From: Evie, Rachel Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary	To: Gesthika Our favorite character is Mae Tuck because she has that get up and go personality. Why is Winnie your favorite character?

From: Erica Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary	To: Kaila Hello! I also think that it was Myles or Jesse at the gate because they could be wondering who lives at the house or it could be someone looking for the Tucks. My favorite character is Winnie because she is funny and she talks to toads, who is your favorite character?

From: Erica Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary	To: Kaila Hello! I also think that it was Myles or Jesse at the gate because they could be wondering who lives at the house or it could be someone looking for the Tucks. My favorite character is Winnie because she is funny and she talks to toads, who is your favorite character?

From: Kelsey, Taylor Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary	To: Nathan We think you are absolutely right. Who wore yellow back then? You do not have to answer that. Kelsey and I would not wear yellow back then.

From: Nick Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary	To: matthew Matthew I totally agree with you because I would believe the Tucks, too. Good thinking! What is your favorite part of the story so far?

From: Evie, Rachel Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary	To: Matthew We completely agree with your idea. We think that falling out of a tree could be real. Do you think Jesse was in any pain when he fell out of the tree? Even though the Tuck's can't die do you think that they get pain?

From: Erica Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary	To: Jacky My favorite part of the book is when Winnie sees Jesse drinking from the spring and she wants a drink but Jesse won't let her. Why do you think he won't?

From: Shelly Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary	To: Katie I agree with how you think Winnie feels about her life because she doesn't like being bossed around by her grandmother thats why she wants to run away. She did run away,because she didn't like her life.She has no friends but a toad and she cannot get dirty and she is a kid. What do you think about the Tuck family?

From: Adam Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary	To: Kevin My favorite part of this is book is when they go to Mae's cabin and Winnie cries out "oh look, water"! Then Jesse and Miles jump in,It would be cool to live by a pond like they do, I would do exactly what Miles and Jesse did. I wonder when Mae's going to take Winnie home?

From: Josh Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary	To: David What do you think of Jesse? I think he likes Winnie alot. What chapter are you on? We're on chapter 11. Please write back.

From: Shelly Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary	To: Alison We are on chapter 11 in the book Tuck Everlasting. My favorite character in the book is Angus because he is lazy ,and I think that lazy characters are cool. Please write back

From: Justin Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary	To: Nathan I think the man wants the magic springs secret from the Tucks because they drank out of it. Do you think the Tucks secret will be sold by the man?

From: Adam Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary	To: Carl I don't really agree with your answer, beacause the boys couldn't die, they drank from the spring that made them live for ever, but anyway, I think that Mae sees her boys every 10 years because it said that her boys travel around the world because hey, if they can live forever, take to the max!

From: Josh Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary	To: Nathan How do you like the book Tuck Everlasting? I think Jesse likes Winnie. What do you think? Please write back.

From: Shelly Grade 5 Sheridan Elementary	To: Rachelle I agree with your thinking because I would like to see how the world ends, but I would also like to see how heaven is. What is your favorite character? Why?

From: Kaila Grade 5 Mata Intermediate School Houston, TX	What do you think Mae Tuck means by "The worst has happend last? Did any of you know that Winnie does not know how to swim and in the book shes 10 and in the movie shes 15?

From: Kaila Grade 5 Mata Intermediate School Houston, TX	To: Erica I think the stranger was Jesse and Miles father who was looking for Mae Tuck. I think that in the the book When they meet every 10 yrs. (Jesse,Miles,Mae, and the father)they drink from the spring and live forever.
