Megan Lekavich- Bridge to Terabithia

This film was amazing! The book, while a little more detailed, lines up almost exactly with the film. The film is about a young girl with a wild imagination who meets a young boy who because of certain family situations in his life has had to grow up more quickly. The two become best friends and are help each other through some of lifes hard times. Out of their desire to escape the structure of the world, they create an imaginary place, Terabithia, which ends up becoming their reality. As the film progresses we see parts of the "real" world entering in to the "imaginary" world. This film represents the idea in scriputure of becoming childlike. The bible tells us how faith should be like a childs. In the different families in the film you see the way that the world often crushes our dream, but you also are able to watch a new world of hope continue, as the imaginary world is passed on to the boys little sister
