Tuck Everlasting Chapter 9

The main difference between the Foster house and the Tuck's is

• the style in which they eat their meals.
• the way they greet each other.
• the lack of overall organization and order.
• the openness with which they share their feelings.

Angus and Mae are able to make a living by

• depending on Miles' income from his jobs.
• selling water from the spring.
• selling the fish they catch in the pond.
• making wooden toys and utensils and selling them.

When the boys are away from home they

• get odd jobs and try to save some of their pay.
• return to the same job and send home their checks.
• travel around to see the country and come back and report to their parents.
• none of these

During dinner at the Tuck's Winnie

• gets a tummy ache and has to lie down.
• becomes homesick as her spirits drop.
• is amused at the Tuck's lack of manners.
• has a fit of hysterics and can't be settled.

Angus takes Winnie out in the rowboat after dinner to 

• explain the danger of the spring water.
• use the water as an example of the cycle of life.
• expresses his frustration at being stuck in the life process.
• all of these

At the end of the chapter Miles reveals that 

• Winnie's parents have sent the constable to find her.
• the stranger has overheard their story and wants to negotiate.
• someone has stolen the family horse.
• he must go away to learn a new trade.

Who has the Tuck's horse in Chapter 13?

• The man in the yellow suit.
• Winnie's uncle
• The sheriff
• A homeless child

How is Tuck able to help Winnie to make sense of why it is important that no one knows their secret?

• He takes her down the river and never returns.
• He says that no one will ever move on and will be stuck. 
• He says that the pond never moves. 
• He says life is lovely.

What does Tuck mean when he says, “We got to get you home just as fast as we can. I got a feeling this whole thing is going to come apart like wet bread?”

• Everything will fall apart and make a mess. 
• Soggy bread is the best.
• If she doesn't go home, they will call 911.
• Everything will be alright.

How do you think Mae felt when Winnie mentioned how sad and lonely it must be to move around all of the time and have no friends?

• She loves being old forever.
• She doesn't mind, because she has Tuck.
• She loves to move all the time.
