Our group has been working on the author's craft and that was alright, but it was sort of boring. So far the fifth and sixth chapters have been better than at the beginning, but I want to have to read something a little more interesting.

I think that chapter 5 was kind of funny. We had to write about what we think about the chapter names and what they mean. I think that the chapter names get more mysterious and fishy.

I wonder why Janise Avery is so mean and why she picks on kids younger than her?

Hi everyone!
What does Katherine Paterson mean when she wrote that Jess needed to give her (Leslie) a gift as much as he needed to eat when he was hungry? Does anyone out there have any suggestions? Thanks!!

MESSAGE:
Jess cares more about Leslie than himself because Leslie is the only best friend that Jess has, and Jess might go home and eat.

I think you mean Leslie when you made your comment about not having a t.v., I do agree with you, Leslie doesn't need a t.v. because she has a really good mind and imagination and finds other things to do. I think I could live without a t.v. if I had some way to play my Sega/Nintendo 64 games. Could you live without a t.v.?

I think that Jess and Leslie will get together and have a relationship a love relationship in the future, that is what I think.

Dear Carly,
I think that Jess and Leslie built Terabithia because they wanted a secret hangout place.
