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.

Bridge to Terabithia Archetypes (REDO)

JESS: In the beginning of the book, Jess is in his own little world......he doesn't really pay much attention to the people around him. His mind is basically always on one thing. Towards the end of the book, Leslie shows Jess how to take more risks and be more open instead of acting like he is in a box 24/7. Jess becomes more of a person who doesn't care what anyone thinks of him and just becomes his own person.

Leslie: She is the time of person who is not a follower and follows her own footstep. She does not care what poeple think of her. She had her own voice. Throughout the whole book this was how she acted and she wasn't going to let anyone change he no matter what.

May Belle: She is the type of person that cant make up her mind and she is the peson who is confused alot of the times. For example somtimes she treats jess like he is the king of the wold. Then she would teat him like he is the last person on her mind.
