The book,
Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson is about a boy named
Jess Aarons, who lives in a small town called Lark Creek and has a
hard family life. He's about to enter the fifth grade and dreams of
being the fastest runner there. This dream is shattered on the
first day of school, though, when a new girl named Leslie shows up
and runs faster than anyone. At first Jess is crushed, but later he
and Leslie end up becoming good friends. They take over a part of a
nearby forest that's only accessible by swinging on a rope over the
creek, and name it Terabithia. They love going there and by Easter,
it's been raining really hard for a month and it's become more
difficult to cross the creek to Terabithia. One day after Easter,
Jess thinks it's too dangerous to go to Terabithia, with all of the
rain that's been coming down. But he forgets all about it when the
school music teacher, Miss Edmunds, calls and asks him to
show more content
Friends are the
family that you get to choose for yourself. The most evolved
characters, Jess, Leslie, and May Belle, are the ones who are
concerned with finding and making friends, and not just any
friends. The kind who understand and support you, but also help you
grow and continue to evolve. In the best friendships, like Jess and
Leslie's, the bond they share strengthens as both people involved.
They each have things to teach the other, they encourage each
other, and they believe in each other.
Friendshipmeans helping people access and become open to a
greater world than the one they knew before. The book
elaborates"She loved you, you know." He could tell from Bill's
voice that he was crying. "She told me once that if it weren't for
you
" His voice broke completely. "Thank you," he said a moment
later. "Thank you for being such a wonderful friend to her." Their
friendship was pure and good, and so important. He mattered to
Leslie just as much as she mattered to
