![]() Creepy suit guy threatens Winnie so Mama Mae kills him. But, all good things must come to an end, and when the creepy guy in the yellow suit tracking the Tucks for their magic immortality water finally finds them, stuff goes downhill quickly. She also learns how to live life and love nature. Technically, she’s kidnapped.Īfter some time (a day or two in the book, weeks? in the movie) Winnie learns to love the Tucks and to learn of their secret. Knowing what the stream does to people, Jesse Tuck can’t let that happen, and so he (and his mother, in the book) take her to their home. Things get crazy when Winifred declares that she would like a drink from the stream. (In the book, young Winnie – who is only 10 or 11 – had been thinking about running away for a while and one day decides to try it just for a day.) In the woods, Winnie stumbles upon Jesse Tuck drinking from the stream equivalent of the sorcerer’s stone. ![]() Well, that was the straw that broke the rich girl’s back because she took off! Into the woods that surround her house. Winifred Foster is a privileged, stifled, bored girl of 15 who (in the movie) has just been informed by her strict parents that she will be shipped off to school to learn to be a lady. When we meet the Tucks, they’ve each been alive for over one hundred years. The Tucks once drank from a magical spring in an ordinary wood and now they can never die. Tuck Everlasting (book and movie alike) tell the story of the Tuck family, comprised of Mae and Angus and their sons Jesse and Miles. In the case of Tuck Everlasting, I like the movie better than the book. It’s true! In my opinion the book’s alright and the movie makes me cry like a baby. I’m going to start off by saying something you rarely read/hear. ![]() However, since the book was published in 1975 and the movie was released in 2002, I think any spoiler alert restrictions have expired. Not because I think literary blogs are cause for apology, but because posts about writing and books is not what one would expect from a blog entitled “Tattooed Missionary.” I’m sure eventually I’ll write more about missions and the Bible and stuff. First, this blog has totally been a literary blog lately and for that I apologize.
