Tuck Everlasting Chp. 19 Follow-up

Use ideas from the quote below and your own ideas to answer the question.

The man in the yellow suit smiled a ghastly smile. "I can't think why you're so upset. Did you really believe you could keep that water for yourselves? Your selfishness is really quite extraordinary, and worse than that, you're stupid. You could have done what I'm about to do, long ago. Now it's too late. Once Winifred drinks some of the water, she'll do just as well for my demonstrations. Even better. Children are much more appealing, anyway. So you may as well relax. There's nothing you can do to stop me."

·        How would you now describe the character /personality of the man in the yellow suit that the author created?

·        Why do you think it’s ironic that he calls the Tucks both selfish and stupid? 

·        Can you connect this type of character to a similar character you have seen in a movie/tv show, read about in another book or heard about in real-life?

classroom housekeeping

1. netbooks are not to be left carelessly lying about - it is a priviledge to have them - they are to be put back into the cart for recharging and/or sent back to ms bucci's cart at the end of each day and locked up.
2. when you get back graded assignments/rubrics, they are not to be casually tossed into your bin/basket below your desk - they are to be secured in your binder under the appropriate tab.  your bin/basket is not to be treated as a dumping ground.

LET'S KEEP OUR SUPPLIES & MATERIALS NEAT AND TIDY!!!
