“Good,” was the girl’s reply. They walked out of his house and climbed his his run down car. The paint was chipped, and it needed new tires, but he adored it. They had decided to go get frozen yogurt, as a cool treat on a hot summer day. The frozen yogurt shop was packed to the brim with sweaty, smiling faces, in for their favorite flavor. As he sat down next to Paige on the curb with his slightly melted dessert, he thought about all the hard times he had just been

I recently read the book Bridge to Terabithia, then watched the movie. They are about a boy, named Jess, who makes friends with a new girl, named Leslie at his school and together they create a whole new world called Terabithia. The book was written by Katherine Paterson and published by Trophy Newbery. The movie was made by Disney and was directed by Gabor Csupo and starred Josh Hutcherson as Jess Aarons, AnnaSophia Robb as Leslie Burke, and Zooey Deschanel as Ms. Edmunds.

Friendship can be shown through the words of anyone in any form, whether it is short or long, in a simple poem to a complicated novel, even in a simple common book such as, Bridge to Terabithia. The author, Paterson, uses many of reasonable literary elements in her book, such elements encompass: character, plot, setting, theme, style, point of view, and tone. These seven elements show us that friendship between the main characters, Jesse and Leslie, in Bridge to Terabithia, although interrupted by many everyday occurrences, can develop quickly, without one's realization. And that friendship, that was suddenly started, can be suddenly gone with the least suspected. In this instance, friendship is suddenly ended, there would be the

In paragraphs 66 to 116 They come across a bridge at a point in their journey that would take them to New Jersey but none of them are brave enough to cross it. The immerse bridge was covered in thick clouds, so thick, that it would be impossible for the boys to see the other side. Max suggests that they shouldn’t cross it. But the main character stood up and said “I’m going,” He said trying to look brave. He started on his own, but his bravery sank down every step. The walkway was narrow and when he looked down he saw only fog. Every step he could feel the bridge swaying, and the main character was convinced that the bridge was about to collapse. Then hope struck him “Maybe the other guys had chickened out, if they did, I could quit because of them.” He glanced back hoping the other didn’t follow, his heart sank, they were coming. When they finally made it to New Jersey, they realized that it was just like Brooklyn. They decide to set up camp in a park in New Jersey, but everywhere they looked there was garbage, so they try to set their tent somewhere with the least amount of garbage. This proves that the boys should have planned this out so they would be ready for what they

Deej Logan was just like any normal high school girl. She woke up on her first day of school and combed her hair, picked out the “perfect” outfit and headed out the door. What she didn’t know is that after that day nothing would be the same. Nothing that day seemed to be going right. At school drama was swarming all around her, not exactly what she hoped the first day would be like. By the time the last bell of the day rang she was more than happy to get out of that school. She drove home as quickly as she could but as soon as she got home she realized that she had forgotten to pick up her sisters. “Great.” She thought sarcastically as she sat back down in her car and drove off. Just then she pulled out her phone to message one of her friends about her awful day. That one decision changed everything. Before she had a chance to send the message Deej veered off into oncoming traffic and was killed on impact.

Along with the symbols, Through the Tunnel and The Bridge have related triggers, as well as thier moments of insight. Triggers for these stories are the moments of naturally acting without thinking of the consequences or dangers putting themselfs into. By having similar triggers, both are agnologed by acts bravery along with determination: Jerry being determined to be a Big Boy by going through a tunnel deep underwater, as well as The Boy diving from the bridge into the water to save the girl from drowning. Without noticing the dangers, both of the boys after the acts of heroism began to realise they are changing more as a mature adult. By those, Jerry's moment of insight is when over coming the obsticale along as realizing he is successfully growing up, The Boy's is very simular to Jerry's. After realizing the sudden discovery, The Boy told himself that "What one man can do, another man can." showing that he has also over came an obsticale of being frightened of leaving his childhood home. While as in The Scarlet Ibis, the trigger is more negitive- being embarrassed by his crippled little brother. Because of

After reviewing the Balance sheet I have a concern regarding the Current and short term liabilities. Creditors/ trade payable is payment yet to be made for goods already received, if this continues to rise then it will effect the business profit and less stock will have to be ordered so repayments can be made. Bank overdrafts also continued to rise and in the long-term the business will be paying greater interest, which will again eat into the profit. Both increased quite a great deal from the last year-end. If this continues then the business will get into bad debts and owe too much that it will end up having to sale its assets to survive. Finally I can see that due to the above issues and other issues the net current assets/ working capital has decreased so therefore the business is less value then it was a year ago. If the business is worth £1 million now, this could soon decrease within another year.

She continued to run until she passed the finish line, running much faster than anyone else, especially Kyana. After everyone was finished, Chloe went over to Kara with a huge smile on her face. Kara, Chloe, and her parents talked about her win the entire walk to Chloe’s house. Chloe was so happy that Kara helped her be ready for the track

The way in which the boys undertake the journey means they complete it accordingly without proper guidance, which causes them to construct their own judgments, causing the two protagonists to cause mistakes. The characters have their

After all he insulted her yard and her beloved chickens. Bryce, on the other hand, had a new found appreciation for Juli. He never realized all the small quirks he liked about her and it took time but he came to conclusion that he likes Juli. Unfortunately for Bryce Juli was ignoring and avoiding him. She didn’t want anything to do with him. A few weeks later, at a school event that Bryce was featured in their relationship took a turn. Bryce was one of his school’s basket boys and would be bid on.

She biked home that day faster than ever, so Bryce wouldn’t be able to talk to her. She then locked herself in her

In our reading, there were many things that jumped out to me, but I wanted to touch on a couple of them. Firstly, I wanted to discuss the whole idea of “the bridge” in the story. On page 11, at the end of the 2nd paragraph, Carnehan talks about how he came to the first village. Carnehan speaks of how he and Dravot arrived “without any trouble”, and then proceeds to explain how they gained control of the village. The idea of bridges shows up again on page 14, as Carnehan makes the natives builds bridges that “cut up the country horrid”, and finally at the bottom of page 18, as Dravot falls to his death. I feel that the “bridges” are a representation of the connections between the foreigners (Dravot

The youngsters at school have their pecking orders in view of energy. Jess' lower-class family likewise works every day on a survival level without much left-finished vitality for affection or affectability. Jess likes his sister May Belle, however there is nobody in his family who comprehends him or even considers him to be a man. Leslie and Jess are pariahs in their universes. Leslie is cheerful at home yet is excessively odd for anybody at school, making it impossible to like her.

The Bridge on the River Kwai deals with bravery, foolishness, and the often-thin line that separates them. It offers a look at war which many people are not accustomed to seeing. Viewers watch as soldiers are turned into slaves without even realizing it. The scene that really captured my attention was around eight minutes in, when Colonel Nicholas and his men are marching into the Japanese prison camp. This scene uses sound, camera technique, props, and acting to set the stage for what unfolds throughout the rest of the film.

The style of “Bridge to Terabithia 2,” is similar to the original novel. For instance, Leslie and Jess both had the feeling of a prolong day. In the first paragraph of the Fan Fiction the author states “It had only been two days since the accident but it was the longest two days of Leslie’s life” (5). The original chapter in Bridge to Terabithia has the style of an elongated day too. Jess displays the traits of being unselfish and connected toward Leslie. Jess is unselfish towards Leslie when he said if he can’t be part of her life, so be it as long as she lived. He was connected when the guide explained to Jess that it’s not unusual for souls so entwined as Jess and Leslie to maintain a connection even when separated. Possibly, if Jess didn’t
