Tuck everlasting Please help i cant think of anything to write
Remember, to make an inference about a story, you must consider the TEXT CLUES + BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE you have about the topic/characters, etc.
In this assignment, you will choose a character and a character trait that you can INFER applies to that person. You will explain how you came to the inference using TEXT EVIDENCE and your own knowledge.
Read the following text frame and example.
Mae Tuck is a ___________________ person. TELL in your own words how you know. In the text it says,(FILL IN EVIDENCE). Based on these story clues, I can infer that she is ________
because (EXPLAIN).
EXAMPLE PARAGRAPH:
Mae Tuck is a caring person. I know this because Mae tries to make Winnie feel better after the Tucks are forced to kidnap her. Some evidence to prove this idea can be found on p. 34 when Babbitt writes, “Mae Tuck’s round face wrinkled in dismay. ‘Dear Lord, don’t cry! Please don’t cry, child!’ she implored. ‘We’re not bad people, truly we’re not.’” This evidence shows that Mae is trying to soothe Winnie’s feelings of fear and help her to be calm and know they won’t hurt her. Also, Mae tries to make Winnie feel at home when she has to sleep at the Tucks’ house. Mae gives Winnie a chair pad for a pillow and offers her a nightgown to sleep in. On p. 70, Babbitt writes, “‘But still,’ Mae lingered. ‘We been alone so long, she said at last, ‘I guess we don’t know how to do with visitors. But still and all, it’s a good feeling, you being here with us. I wish you was…ours.’” This statement shows that Mae has grown to feel like Winnie is their child and that she cares about Winnie as if she were her daughter and doesn’t want her to go home.”
Now you will do the same.
