media type="custom" key="22565274" I made this poster to portray a fun and whimsical. This is how I viewed the book and how it should be viewed. I put her swinging over the water and looking up to the sky like she does in the book. I gave the title a gold background because it reminded me of a royal sill. The sill was important to me because in the book Jess and Leslie are the king and queen of Terabithia. I put the pictures in the clouds to show how Leslie keeps her eyes wide open and is always dreaming of Terabithia. The pictures to the right of the poster are some of her favorite memories of Terabithia so they are in front of her and in a lighter colored cloud. The bad memories are behind her showing that she will be victorious. They are also in darker clouds because they are scary objects. I put Leslie’s famous quote at the bottom of the poster because it describes the whole book in one sentence.

[] This is a very good point. This article shows both sides of the story but is clearly leaning towards the book having a good influence over a bad influence. When the point came up that the book is bad because the plot contains death the author stated that all Disney movies contain death. When the school systems started to mention the work of witchcraft in the book; the author of the article stated that the author of the book has Christian parents and a preacher as a husband. [] Katherine wrote this book with no intention of disrespect. She wrote this book for her son who lost his best friend and what she meant to him. This is exactly what happened in the book with jess and Leslie. She dedicated this book to her child, so I feel she wouldn’t write anything she didn’t want her little boy to read. [] Many parents give this book to children who also have friends that have died. Although the author says the book is more to weaken the blow but I can see why this would be the parents first impulse. The book teaches children that it isn’t there fault and that they can live with the loss. Also they can relate with jess and learn from his experiences. [] This summary doesn’t mention evil or things that are bad for children’s eyes. The article mentions it’s a children’s book which I completely agree with. When I was in the fifth grade I watched the movie and it seemed perfectly harmless to me. Now when I read the book I still think it is harmless although there are a few words that should be replaced. [] This author stated that this book contained many adult ideas but in a child’s way. I think this is exactly right because the plot deals with death, God, and imagination. These are all things that happen in everyday life that for some reason in our society can’t even be put in a children’s book without being challenged.
