MESSAGE:
Dear Katie, I think Jess has to be the fastest runner so he can win the respect he wants from his family. He feels so left out of everything his family does. So he thinks if he could be the fastest runner, he could be an important person in his family to get lots of respect. The person he really wants respect from, is his dad because his dad doesn't really care about him. What do you think about it? |

Dear Seth, I think May Belle is worshiping Jess , because Jess is May Belle's older brother.I also think that May Belle is looking to Jess as a role model. She also might want to show Jess that she is important to him. |

MESSAGE:
Dear Rachel, I think Jess always get stuck with all the work maybe because his mom doesn't want all the girls to do all of the work. Maybe she doesn't want all the girls to do all the work because girls have to be more proper. Do you think that's fair? |

Dear Seth, I think May Belle worships Jess because he is the man of the house, when their dad is gone he is the only boy left. So since their dad is gone May Belle looks up to him. I think May Belle just wants respect from Jess since her sisters don't give her respect. Do you have a little sister like that? |

Dear Connor, Jess and Leslie built Terabithia beacause they wanted to escape the real world. For example there are no big or little sisters, teachers, imaginary foes, Gary, and Joyce Ann. It is practically paradise to them. Would you like to go to a place like that? |

MESSAGE:
Seth, that was a good question. I think May Belle does everything that Jess asks her to do because he is the man of the house when the dad is not there. I bet it is also because she wants his respect. But why doesn't she look up to her big sister instead? |

MESSAGE:
I think Jess should help Leslie and her dad fix up the house so he can have a better realationship with Leslie's dad. I also think that Janice should stop smoking, cursing, and bullying people, because it hurts other people's feelings and when you smoke you can get lung cancer. |

MESSAGE:
Dear Joel, I think other girls will be encouraged to run after Leslie made first place because the girls might be able to beat the boys since Leslie made first place on the race. |

MESSAGE:
Dear Connor, I think Jess and Leslie built Terabithia so they can talk about things. I don't think Leslies parents should get a T.V because if they do then they wouldn't go outside or play games and they will be couch potatoes. |

MESSAGE:
Dear Kailee, I think Jess wants to show off his speed and be popular. Think about it, wouldn't you want to win a race and suddenly be so popular or just showing off? I am starting to wonder why Jess won't practice running and beat Leslie once and for all. |

Dear Seth, I think Maye Belle is worshiping Jess because he is the man of the house when his dad isn't around and he is a hard working just as a great dad would. She knows Jess loves her. |

MESSAGE:
My life is just like May Belle. I listen to what the other people in my family like I worship them as gods.It's also like Jess because I work hard around the house. My family is like the Aarons family because my family doesn't go to church too much any more. |

MESSAGE:
Hi! My name is Seluga and I'm loving "Bridge to Teribithia so far. Jesse Aaron is a good kid that is very determined to be the fastest runner in the 5th grade. He's very good at drawing animal cartoons. Jesse is very much like me. Jesse really wants respect from his father so he works around the house. When his father goes to Washington, he is the man of the house. Leslie moved from Virginia to Jesse's neighborhood. Leslie wants to be the fastest runner too. Leslie is the fastest runner from 3rd grade all the way to 5th grade. Now the kids don't race anymore because Leslie beat all the boys. Jesse likes Leslie but Jesse is shy around Leslie. The book is turning out to be a great book. Is your life like Jesse's life? I hope you like "Bridge to Teribithia". Write back. Bye! |

MESSAGE:
Dear Joel, I have an answer to your question. I think Gary didn't want Leslie to run because he was afraid because Leslie beat Jesse he would be embarrassed if she beat him in front of everyone. Why did Jesse say he was in trouble to Leslie ? |

MESSAGE:
Dear Matt, We think that Jess said that because you really need food but he really liked Leslie so it was very inportant to give her a good gift. We also have a question. How did Leslie and Jess build Teribithia? |

Bridge to Terabithia is a great book so far. I think it is a great book because I think that Leslie and Jesse are a great couple. They are a good couple because they all like the same things. |
