–Winnie was coming closer to the end of something and coming closer to the beginning of something new. =The day Winnie decides to leave her cloistered existence and the Tuck’s come to town. –On this day, the wheels set lives in motion in mysterious ways. –Time is like a wheel, turning and turning. –What is the best way to overcome a fear of death? –We each choose how we will live life so you should choose to live it fully. –Eternal life after a human life fully lived is the real deal. –Eternal life that bypasses living a complete human life is unappealing, –Living life fully is the key to fearless living. Nevertheless it is a wonderful conversation starter that raises important questions about the inevitability of death, the importance of life lived fully (abundant life) and the promise of eternal life (in heaven with the creator and conqueror of death). Unfortunately, theologically, Tuck Everlasting emphasizes a ¢â‚¬Ëœcircle of life’ worldview and is less explicit than the book in its Christian view of true life everlasting. As Winnie sees the unhappy aspects of the Tuck’s existence it becomes less certain that, given the choice, she will follow Jesse into life with Tuck everlasting. At the funeral of Winnie’s grandmother we see that the Christian promise of eternal life after a fully lived life is far more appealing. We see this particularly in Miles Tuck who embodies the pain of having lost a wife and children who were rooted in time, which for him does not exist.

Desiring to live a fuller life, Winnie wanders into the woods and meets Jesse Tuck. Though they own the woods, they are unaware that the Tucks and Fountain of eternal life both reside there. Their secret forces them into a reclusive life in the woods where the fountain is located.ĭue to their wealth and status, Winnie Foster and her parents live reclusively in a gated mansion. The Tucks have discovered the fountain of youth and because they drink of it they will never die, cannot be killed and do not age.
