We have to read two novels in this semester's English children novel course.We have finished the first novel,Matilda,so our next children novel is Bridge to Terabithia.It is writed by Katherine Paterson. She writes this book for her son,wants to teach him many things,including how to be a leader.The contents of this story is:Jess and Leslie is good friends,however, due to the stereotype,other students suppose they are boyfriend and girlfriend and laugh at them.
So,they try to escape those annoying things in a secret shelter.Then,they find a rope which can sway them to the other side of the mountain.This is their secret shelter.They start to imagine a kingdom of their own and they can be the leader of this imaginative world.Actually,the rope is symbol not only a way they can come to their imaginative world,but also a connection between Terabithia and them.In my opinion,there are some common point between Narnia and Bridge to Terabithia.For example,on one side,the rope in Bridge to Terabithia is a enterance,on the other side,the wardrobe in Narnia has the same function;Terabithia is a imaginative kingdom and Narnia is the same.In daaition,Leslie is a girl who full of courage and extroverted.However,Jess's personality is opposite,he is a boy who introvertrd.Lesile encourages and lead Jess to be a resoulte person,she can throw thees negative things in Jess's mind away.Finally,I feel regret about Lesile as a result of her cause of death.I can't figure out why such a nice person have this cause of death and die so young.(She was died by lightning)
