Kathleen Ross- Bridge to Terabithia

I was a little slow on the uptake and didn't actually see Bridge to Terabithia with the rest of the class but did make it to see it later that week. My roommate was nice enough to see it, although I fogot to tell her the little girl died in the end, she wasn't too pleased about that point. Its funny cause I read this book back when I was in elementary school and had to see it when the made a movie of it. Even though I hadn't see the the movie in year it still remembered the plot once the movie got going. I think this movie provides a great bridge between fantasy and reality which a majority of this class has focused on. Just like in Big Fish where Edward's stories become his life the two kids in this move did much of the same. They created and enviroment where they were the kings and life was their own. Although i struggled finding the religious symbolism in the movie, the creepy men sitting being my roommate and I provided to be a bit of a distraction, i enjoyed the message the movie brought to me. That life is what you make of it, live each day as you wish it to be, and never leave someone you love beind, you never know when you make not get to see them again.
