Creative Writing Options

1. Jesse’s Loss
At the end of the novel, Angus Tuck expresses his approval of Winnie’s decision not to drink the spring water. Do you think Jesse would completely agree with his father’s opinion? Think about how Jesse’s perspective might be different from the rest of his family’s. Do you think he stays in contact with Winnie after the jailbreak? What might he feel when the time for Winnie to drink the water has come and passed?

Write or type either a poem OR a journal entry (3-4 pragraphs) from Jesse’s point of view that examines the Tuck family’s encounter with Winnie and her eventual decision to embrace mortality.

2. Article
Pretend you are a journalist and you have just been informed of this news breaking story. Write or type an article about the jailbreak. Who was involved? Why and how did it happen? Who are your sources? What questions have been left unanswered?
Article must be 3-5 paragraphs long

Young Actor Option

1. Talk Show Host
