Summary: Strong Female roles in Bridge to Terabithia
Review: "She had made him leave his old self behind and come into her world, and then before he was really at home in it but to late to go back, she left him stranded there-like and astronaut wandering about on the moon. Alone." Katherine Paterson's book Bridge to Terabithia is loosely based on her son's reaction to the death of a friend. The novel follows the friendship between a farm boy, Jesse Aarons and his neighbor Leslie, the child of two "hippie parents." Leslie is instrumental in Jesse's discovery of himself. Since Jesse's spirit, creativity and deep intellect are not nurtured at home, Leslie helps Jesse to realize the importance of all of these characteristics. In short, she helps him leave his "old self behind." Sadly, Leslie is killed while trying to cross a river to get to the friends' secret kingdom of Terabithia. Strong female characters are important to Jesse throughout the novel. Obviously, Leslie shows her physical strength by beating all of the boys in the race during recess. The essay she writes for Ms. Meyers shows her outstanding intellect. Beyond that, Leslie's strong emotional leadership is evident in the way she interacts with Jesse. She helps Jesse find his inner strength by allowing him to be himself. Leslie's imagination sparks Jesse's once dormant imagination. She also encourages and facilitates his creativity. Leslie appreciates his artistic ability and even gives him paints and paper to draw with. Leslie sees Jesse as much more than a simple farm boy, and in turn Jesse sees himself as more. Leslie acts as a savior for Jesse's true self, the part of him that was languishing from lack of support from his family. Both of Jesse's teachers are portrayed as strong women. Miss Edmunds, the music teacher somewhat of a rebel with her radical teaching styles and her modern interests. She is unwilling to be intimidated by the school system or teachers. She also has a role in Jesse's emotional growth. She takes an active interest in him and encourages his drawing. Ms Meyers exhibits a different kind of strength in her domination over the class. However at the end of the novel her emotional strength is evident in the story she tells Jesse about the death of her husband. Ms. Meyers' story is one of the few things that helps Jesse in his time of great sorrow, making Ms. Meyers another strong female role in Jesse's life. Beyond being a story about the death of a friend Bridge to Terabithia is about emotional growth. The strong women in the novel play pivotal roles in the emotional growth of Jesse.

Review: Bridge to Terabithia is one of the best books I've ever read. It starts out with a boy named Jesse Oliver Aarons Jr. who is going to 5th grade at his school. Jess and all the other boys, from 3rd-5th grade, race everyday for recess so he runs everyday. He then meets Leslie Burke who at first seems like a tomboy to him and Lesie wins the race. Later he smiles at her signifying a relationship between the two. The two build a secret hiding place called Terabithia, where only they could enter. A tradgedy strikes later seperating them forever. This book will make you happy and sad so I strongly reccomend it. I hope you will enjoy it.
