Bridge to Terabithia Entry

       The question that i am answering in this entry is why do i think the author chose to make Leslie die? Did this make the book stronger? Would the book have been strong without Leslie dying?

       I think the author chose Leslie to die for multiple reasons. One reason is to  make the story more meaningful and to have a message behind the story. One message could be that people come and go and u have to live with it. Another message could be life is short.

       I think that this Death made the book stronger because it was very unexpected. This scene also made the book stronger because its a scene that when most people would think of the book, that's the first scene people would think of. That scene really made the book stronger.

      I think that this book would have been strong with out the scene depending on what other scene they could put in the book that dominates the other scene.
