Chapter 12 and 13
1. What is the significance of the phrase “I am now the fastest runner in the fifth grade”?
2. Jess remarks that Leslie took him from the cow pasture to Terabithia and turned him into a king. What does Jess mean by this statement?
3. There are a number of steps involved when grieving a loved one. The first step is denial, the second is anger, and the final is acceptance allowing the individual to move on with their life yet feeling “richer” for having known that person. Identify when these steps occurred with Jess and include evidence and page numbers.
4. By the end of the novel, Jess has changed in important ways and has learned a great deal about himself and others. Write a few paragraphs tracing Jess’s growth and development over the course of the novel. As you write, consider these questions: What lessons does Jess learn? From whom? What strengths does he discover in himself and in others? What new beliefs and values does he develop? Which experiences are especially valuable to him?
5. Terabithia is a place where Jess and Leslie can escape from everyday cared and pressures and indulge in the life of the imagination. Write about the importance of the imagination as a means of escape from the problems and stresses of everyday life. Can dreaming and imagining be productive activities, or are they just a waste of time? Think about Leslie and Jess’s experiences as you write.

5. the importance of imagintion is good to have because when you are stressed you can go to "your place" and do funn stuff. yes you can say that imagintion can be a activites, because you can be inerjetect.
1. I think the scientific pharase means that Leslie is now oreally gone.
2. i thin kthat it means that Leslie showed him a whole new life and made that Leslie made a somebody instead of a nobody.
3. I think that Jess really started to fell bad and then he felt mad and just couldn't get turned around.
4.Jess learned that when something goes wrong and he cant fix it that he needs to move on and try to get help. He learned this leason from Leslie.
5.I think that Treabithi is just a place where they can be alone, the importance of this is not to ever give up in your mind and everything else. I think that it is very good to imagineand dream.
I think imagination and dreaming can do wonders for a person. These are skills that we often lose as we get older. If I could give you any advice it would be to hold onto you imagination with both hands for as long as possible! A great imagination can take you anywhere, as we have seen in this book.
Excellent comments ladies! I would have liked to see you ask each other some more questions, but I think that you have done well.
