First Name:Riley Book:Bridge to Terabithia

1. Write a summary of what has happened in your story so far. (Remember a summary has a beginning, middle and end.)

At the beginning of my book, Bridge to Terabithia, Jess Aarons wants to be the fastest runner in the school but a new girl named Leslie is at the school and she is faster then all of the boys. Jess and Leslie become friends and create a world called Terabithia where they can escape all their troubles.There, they battle enemies like Janice Avery, the school bully. Leslie is sort of the laughing stock of the school because she wears jeans every day and has a lot of money and no TV but Jess is OK with those things. They do a lot for each other like when Jess helped fix up Leslie's house, or when on Christmas they each gave each other a present. Also when Easter came around Jess said that Leslie could come to church with them since she had never gone to church.One day though, Jess gets a call from his music teacher, Miss. Edmunds, asking if he could go to Washington D.C with her. Jess said yes but when he comes home he finds out that Leslie is dead. He then decides to leave a memorial for Leslie in Terabithia. That is what happened in my book.

2. How do you feel about your book? Remember to include details from your story to support your opinion.

I thought it was OK because it was kind of nice to read but it didn't have a lot of action in it. For example, when they were plotting against Janice Avery there was some action but that died down when I found out that Janice Avery was beat by her dad.

3. Make a prediction what you think will happen next in your story. Remember to support your answer with examples from the text. (Bud Not Buddy, Witch of Blackbird Pond, Westing Game).

4. How did your story end? Did you like your ending? Tell why or why not. If you didn't like it, how would you change it? (Mixed Up Files and Bridge to Terabithia).

My story ended when Leslie died and I did not like this because it was kind of sad and I don't like sad things. If I could have changed things I would have had them stay friends and be happy.
