The legend of how Treegap Spring became enchanted has never been revealed, until now.
Treegap was nothing but trees and a spring. No one lived there, no one knew what "Treegap" was until two boys discovered it. Sick of all the rules at home, Mike and Joey, two eleven year olds decided to run away. Little did they know about what was coming.
The early vivid sunlight shone through the paned windows of the small brick home sparking like a diamond. Mike and Joey were ready. Their parents weren't awake so it was the perfect time for them to escape. They set off on their adventure with no maps, no food,water, or shelter.
"Where exactly are we going?" Mike asked his brother.
Joey looked up at the blazing sunlight, “Who knows?”
So the two boys continued on their journey. They did not know where they were, and did not know if their parents were awake looking for them. Time was meaningless because Mike and Joey were determined to find a place to stay for the night. They could see some trees in the distance and those trees seemed to call them there. So they ran over to the trees and found a forest.
They explored the forest and no homes or sources of food so they started leaving but a glistering sparkle caught Joey's eye.
"Hey look over there Mike!" Joey said to Mike. Mike looked over where Joey was pointing. "Yeah, what is that?"
"Might as well go over there!" Joey replied to him walking over there cautiously.
What they reached was a spring. Mike and Joey both danced in joy! They found water!
After their long walk they found a water! The both dived into the water like puppies getting their dinner. They were so happy and excited. The whistling of birds filled the forest. The faint smell of pine trees also filled the forest. Only...
... middle of paper ...
... many trees in the forest and the spring made a gap between one side and the other. Treegap was born.
Twenty years passed.
Angus, Mae, Miles, and Jesse Tuck discover this new land which people call Treegap. They were thirsty so they drank out of the spring and they were granted with an immortal life. Later, young Winifred Foster runs away from home and discovers Jesse Tuck drinking from the spring which the Tucks have to kidnap Winnie. Winnie learns about the Tuck's secret and must not tell anyone. A stranger follows them, the man in the yellow suit. The man in the yellow suit was Joey. There was a constable for Treegap and he was Mike! The man in the yellow suit wants to sell water from the spring which does make sense because he was the one who discovered it. The Treegap Spring became enchanted by two evil witches who put the wrong potion in the spring.
Strange things began to happen the next couple days. First, Joey was in the living room of Grandma’s house making a jig saw puzzle. He heard the sound of a horses hooves walking slowly on the street then the sound stopped in front of the house and heard someone put something in Grandma’s mail box. Joey heard the horse walk away and a little while later Grandma’s mailbox blew up. Next, Ms. Wilcox’s outhouse was destroyed by a cherry bomb. Then, a dead mouse was found floating in the bottle of milk that was delivered to the front
The two brothers began their travels and go to many places. They woke up in a different town and Joey was asking Josh if they had eaten breakfast. Without a quick response Josh soon got up and so did Joey and a walked a few miles to eat breakfast. They traveled long distances from week to week usually in a farmer’s truck. They often got rides from kind farmers who were willing or did not mind giving them a ride.
In ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ Lee presents the tree as a way to allude to something that it’s not: Boo Radley. The tree itself is on the Radley lot, and it symbolizes Boo and him trying to communicate to the children through the knot-hole, the fact that it’s a tree is significant in that trees are deep rooted and can’t move, much like boo’s communication with the children is very limited because he doesn’t leave the house. The children do recognize his want to communicate as they write him a letter, ‘dear sir… we appreciate everything you have done for us’. When the hole gets filled with cement, it symbolizes the end of the communication; ‘tree’s dying. You plug ‘em with cement when they’re sick’ is the reason
