We just completed one of my favorite books, Tuck Everlasting. If you did not know, this book was made into a Disney Movie in 2002. Below is a trailer for the movie. I want you to compare the movie trailer to the book we just completed. How is it similar? How is it different? How are the characters similar or different? Do you like the changes they made to the movie? Please share your thoughts & opinions. Is this a movie you would want to watch? Would your recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I think that the book seems better than the movie because in the book it gives more detail and keeps the reader interested with cliff hangers. The book is similar to the movie trailer because Jesse loved Winnie. Another similarity is Winnie and Jesse swam in the spring. Also the man in the yellow suit was in both the movie trailer and the book. Some differences are the book said that the man in the yellow suit died in the book but not in the movie. Also Winnie poured the spring water on the toad but it was never in the movie trailer. The last difference is the man in the yellow suit shot Jesse in the movie but no one shot Jesse in the book. I did not like the changes in the movie because I did not like when Jesse got shot. I would watch this movie and I would recommend this book to a friend because the mystery with the tux is interesting.

The movie and the book are the same because the Tucks never get older or younger. It is different because May swam in the lake with Jesse. The characters are not the same in the book as the movie. They are not like I had imagined them, I like the movie more because it is very realistic. I would want to watch the movie. I would not recommend this book because it is not as realistic as the movie.

Its similar because, The setting hasn't changed at all if you look closely and the relationship hasn't changed either. In my mind I imagand them looking a little like the pioneers. The characters are way different but, Mae and Angus looked the same as I thought but the rest are different.NO!YES!YES because, its a really good book.

The movies similsr because it had the same characters. Its different because the movie looks more about Winnie and Jesse rather than the Tucks and their secret. The characters are similar and different by Winnie looks like she is 17 more then 11 and the stranger\the man in the yellow suit is not wearing yellow. Their the same because by the looks of the trailer the Tucks are everlasting like the book. I dont like the changes in the movie because I liked the story and now the movie is only mainly about Jesse and Winnie. Yes this is a movie I would like to watch even though I like the book more. (from the looks of the trailer) Yes I would recommend the bookto a friend because its interesting and keeps you wanting to knowwhats happening next. And I like those kinds of books.

The book and movie of Tuck Everlasting are similar because Winne runs and finds a beautiful boy ''Jesse'' when she ran into the wood. The constable and the man in the yellow suit come to take Winne and to get the Tucks. It is different because Jesse gets shot. The characters are diffrent because Winne is a lot older looking than 11. I do not like the changes they made because the story states more about everything. I would recommend this book to a friend because it is very interesting to me.

The movie and book are the same because, they have the same characters, Tuck takes Winnie out on the boat to discuss the spring. Also, in both Jesse has feelings for Winnie. They are different because in the book Jesse and Winnie didn't jump into the water and dance together. Also in the book Jesse and Winnie never kissed. In the book Jesse never got shot in the movie he did. The characters were different because in the movie Winnie looked about 17, in the book she is 10 going on 11. I don 't like the changes they did in the movie because it makes the story different. This is a movie I would love to watch because I loved the book. I would recommend the book to a friend because it is so interesting, mysterious, and magical,

It is similar because: there is a giant ash tree in the woods, Winnie and Jesse are in love,and Angus takes Winnie fishing. It is different because Winnie is older, you do not see a spring anywhere, Jesse gets shot and Angus does not, Mae doesn't go to jail, there is no man in the yellow suit, and Jesse is the main reason they are moving. The characters are similar because Jesse is obviously the good looking one, they are different because Winnie is older, there is no constable, and there is no man in the yellow suit. I do not like the changes to the movie because Winnie is too old, there is no exciting plan to take Mae out of jail, there is no man in the yellow suit, and in the movie the person is not shot by choice and if you watched the trailer and not known anything about Tuck Everlasting you would be totally confused. I would not want to watch this movie because from the looks of the trailer there is too much love. I would not recommend this book to my friends because it just isn't good.

The scenery is different in the movie than what I imagined in the book. The cottage was also different and the forest had different looking trees than in the story. It's similar because it had the same things like the forest and the cottage. The characters faces looked the same way as I imagined them, but the clothes were different. I don't like the changes that they made in they movie because there was too much of Jesse and Winnie almost as if Jesse was one of the main characters and it didn't really continue on in way that I would have liked. I would not like to watch this movie. I would not recommend this book to a friend because the book is a slow book and is complicated remembering who's who or which witch is which.

The book is different than the trailer because the man in the yellow suit shoots Jesse and that didn't happen in the book. The book is also different from the trailer because at one in the trailer, at the beginning there was someone riding on a motorcycle, and there was nothing about someone on a motorcycle in the book. The book is similar to the trailer because it still had Tuck and Winnie talking on the boat by the lake. Also its the same because it still showed the love Winnie and Jesse had. The characters are some what the same. But Winnie looked a little older that 11, in the trailer. I think Jesse acted the same in the trailer and in the book. So pretty much I think the characters were the same.

The time of year was the same in both. In the beginning of the trailer, you see a man riding a motorcycle and wearing a modern day helmet, but the book took place in the 1870's when motorcycles were not invented. The characters are Similar because Jesse is 17 forever. Their ages are different. No I don't like the changes made to the movie because Winnie is older. Yes I want to see the movie. I also recommended it to my sister because it was an awesome book.

It's similar because the tucks are invinsable and everlasting,they also drank the spring and there was the man in the yellow jacket. It was different because Winnie doesn't see the toad and her and Jesse kiss in the trailer. The trailer characters were similar because there were still the cast of Jesse the man in the yellow suit miles Mae and Winnie last angus. They were different because angus never tried to shoot himself and the man in the yellow suit tried to kill Jesse. They were ok they didn't really make a different to me. Yes if they like twists in the story no if the don't like kind of magic stories.

The movie is similar to the book because some of the movie is similar to the book. The movie is different from the book because the man in the yellow suit shot Jesse and because Winnie and Jesse jumped into a lake or some sort of water. I think the characters are different because in the movie the characters do some different things then the book. I do not like the the changes to the movie. To me I think because I read the book first it made me think that the movie would be more like the book. That is why I don't like the changes in the movie. I think that I would still want to watch the movie even though I think it is not the same as the book. To me I think that I would recommend this book to a friend because it was a really good book and because it is a little funny.
