How do you get that without revealing a secret you are sworn to protect? If he told someone, and they rejected his offer, what then? It's definitely a situation we couldn't really understand. Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt - book cover. It's still creepy, but there is a moral behaviour behind it. She could be his only chance to not be alone forever, and she is a likable girl that gets along with the whole family. He can't reveal his secret to anyone else and she's the only person to know the family secret. Think of why he is doing it? He's stuck being 17-year-old (physically and mentally), forever, and forever alone. *spoiler alert* He is trying to convince her to choose to become an immortal when she turns 17 and spend eternity with him. He is in no way trying to engage a 10 year old in a sexual relationship. The pursuit of the 10-yr-old girl by a 17-yr-old boy should be into the context of the story. The story is a bit slow in the beginning, but it's worth pushing through.įinal comment: I disagree with the pedophile comments made by some people.
