Dear Rachel,
I do think that other girls will be encouraged to run because Leslie ran. I think that is true because the other girls will be like, look at that girl running and wining the race. Then they will say, if that girl can run so can we.

Dear Jam'n
I think the reason chapter 5 is called the Giant Killers is because Janice Avery is so big to them, and they are so small to her, that she threatens their peace like the imaginary giants in Terabithia and they have to fight back. They write a letter to Willard Hughes that will end up hurting her feelings and killing her emotions.

Dear Carly,
Why does Leslie's father bother Jess "like a canker sore"? I think because Leslie spends some of her time with her dad, Jess gets mad. He is jealous because he has to "share" Leslie with her dad.

Dear Evonne T.,
We think you're right because Jess' dad pays him no respect. Jess gets up early just to run in the morning but his dad doesn't respect him. Jess does everything to please his dad, but his dad never pays attention to him. His dad only pays attention to the girls.
