Recommended: Ensay of the bridge of terabithia

Bridge to Terabithia was written by Katherine Paterson and illustrated by Donna Diamond. It has 128 and was published October 21, 1977, as a book in children's literature by Harper Trophy. I liked this book very much the story it portrays is beautiful. I learned a lot, but the message that stuck out substantially was people change people. Like Jess had said before he met Leslie he was a fearful cowardice kid, but after Leslie came along he became a king. I recommend this book to everyone Bridge to Terabithia is about two kids, Jess and Leslie. They are both lonely and at first, Jess does not like Leslie he finds her odd, not like other girls. Jess soon realized Leslie is a misfit with a wild imagination much like himself and they become

    The Other Side of the Bridge by Mary Lawson is a book that depicts two different people, that mainly focuses on jealousy, rivalry and the power of obsession over half a century. There are many characters in the novel and they build relationships with one another that eventually become intertwined. The relationships that are built end up having an effect on the character, and contributes something different to his understanding of himself and the decisions he makes. Ian in the novel is an example of that, where the relationships he builds with the others, helps him find who he is as a person and affects the decisions he makes. Specifically through the relationships with Pete, his father, and Jake, he gains something different from each character which proves to be vital to who he is. Without these characters, Ian would be very different, as each character contributed something to Ian’s ultimate understanding of himself.

    The film chronicles the histories of three fathers, and manages to relates and link their events and situations. First is Mitchell Stephens and his relationship with his drug-addict daughter. Second is Sam, and the secret affair he is having with his young daughter Nicole. He is somewhat of a narcissistic character because of his preoccupation with himself and pleasing himself, and his lack of empathy throughout the film for the others in the town. Third is Billy, who loves his two children so much that he follows behind the school bus every day waving at them. Billy is also having an affair with a married woman who owns the town’s only motel. On the exterior the town is an average place with good people just living their lives.

  • Acts Of Faith By Eboo Patel's 'Acts Of Faith'

    1025 Words  | 3 Pages

    Just as there is a variety of identities involving race, gender, and class, so too are there a range of religious identities. Byzantine Catholics, Hindus, born-again Evangelicals, atheists, agnostics, and Buddhists are only a few religious identities I have encountered in America. This environment, at best, allows religious variety to be understood and embraced—and at worst, divides us. In Acts of Faith, author Eboo Patel discusses his belief that the “faith line” will define conflict and concord in the 21st century.

  • The Parable of the Sadhu by Bowen H. McCoy

    1076 Words  | 3 Pages

    After reading Bowen H. McCoy’s, “The Parable of the Sadhu,” I ask myself: Can stress or environmental conditions excuse the actions of Bowen McCoy or anyone in a similar situation? Joseph Badaracco says that “right-versus-right choices are best understood as defining moments; decisions that reveal, test, and shape.” There is no doubt in my mind that Bowen McCoy’s encounter with the Sadhu was a defining moment, but by not taking a stand and ultimately making sure of the Sadhu’s survival, will the shadow cast forward by Bowen from his decision be one that he can live with; one that his peers could admire. Or will it be one that he and everyone close to him will see and often worry about. What will happen when another “defining moment” surfaces?

    Likewise in Ballad of Birmingham, Randall portrays a mother – child relationship. The use of dialogue between the child and the mother and colloquial language in their communication shows the deep affection they have for one another. The repetition of ‘No, baby, no’ reflects the mother’s desperateness for her child to be safe. Both mothers lose their innocent child due to hardships that they are facing. “Bits of glass and brick” implies that not only was the bond between mother and daughter broken, but daughter’s innocence as well. The “glass” conveys a fragile image for the girl, which shows how innocence can be lost so easily and quickly.
