1. Leslie was getting teased and embarrassed by her classmates. Jess helped her out by supporting her. Leslie thinks Jess' drawings are beautiful. Terabithia is a place that both friends made up.

2. Terabithia is a kingdom in a Forest.

Leslie and Jess created it because they can have their own time there with no one to disturb them. Jess feels he can draw here with no worries.

1. In music Jess accidently smiles at Leslie and then Jess gets mad at himself because he thinks he should be mad at Leslie. Jess smiles at Leslie again on purpose and Leslie smiles back.
2. Terabithia is a pretend world that Jess and Leslie create in the woods. Jess and Leslie create Terabithia so that they can be themselves and not try to hide anything.

1. Jess finds him smiling at Leslie so he decides he should be friends with her. Before Jess decided that, he never went near Leslie.
2. Terabithia is an imaginary kingdom created by Leslie and Jesse. Leslie and Jesse created it because they needed a safe place with no people they didn't like near them.

What finally brings Jess and Leslie together in friendship is when Jess smiles at Leslie during music with Miss Edmunds.
Terabithia is a made up world and they swing on an enchanted rope to enter it. Leslie and Jess created Terabithia because they wanted to get away from all the bullies and the worries they have. Terabithia is also a place where Jess can draw without anyone knowing.

I think that it is the music room that finally brings Jess and Leslie's friendship closer. In music class, while Miss Edmunds is singing, Jess catches Leslie's eye and smiles, and Leslie smiles back. Jess even forgot that he was supposed to be mad at her for beating him in the race. Terabithia is a magical kingdom in which Jess and Leslie create in the forest. Here, Jess can hide from all of his enemies, such a Gary Fulcher. He can also do whatever he chooses, such as draw. Usually when he draws in the outside world, people make fun of him.

Jess and Leslie smiled at each other in music class. They forgave each other by exchanging smiles.

Terabithia is a secret place/"kingdom" that they created. They created it to share their secrets and to do whatever they like. They can also hide from enimies such as: people who tease Leslie, Gary Fulcher, and some other bus bullies.
Jess can draw in this non-distubed environment. They both will encourage each other to do what they, themselves, like. Jess, at home, he isn't allowed to draw. Leslie, at school, gets teased. Terabithis is a calm and private place where they can share feelings. They must adore it.

What brought their friendship back was that Jess smiled at Leslie during music class, wondering why he was trying to be her enemy anyway, and she smiled back.

Rohan K. said...

The other half of my comment is that Terabithia is an imaginary kingdom that they created where anything is possible.

Rohan.I said...

Music class brang Jesse and Leslie together when they were singing. They created Terabithia because they wanted a place where nobody would tease them. They also wanted to be doing something that they were not allowed do to in the real world.

When Leslie had the idea of making Terabithia. Whenever they felt like playing I think they would go there. Terabithia is a place like Narnia but Terabithia is just the place they would play. It a place Jess and Leslie made up place. I think they felt like creating it because they wanted to built it because that was the place were the y would meet up and plkay with each other.

What finally brings them together is that Jess stood up for Leslie during the racing. Also, Jess forgives Leslie for beating him. He smiles at her and she smiled back. Terrabithia is a place that Jess and Leslie made up. They used wooden boards and nails to build a structure/kingdom. They create it so they can get away from their troubles. For example, Leslie's trouble is that everyone teases her,but in Terrabithia, she is the ruler and only her and Jess can enter. Jess' problem is that no one except Ms. Edmunds and Leslie encourage Jess to draw. In Terrabithia, he can draw as much as he wants.

1. What finally brings Jess and Leslie together in friendship?


Answer to # 1. Leslie startled Jess by saying, "If you are so scared of the cow, why not just climb the fence?" mean while, Jess was running.
Before he had heard Leslie's voice he was saying,"I am going to get Gary Fulcher, you wont beat me this time!"
When he got a look at the unexpected
new-sounding voice he stopped in mid-air, to surprised to speak.


2. What is Terabithia? Why did Jess and Leslie make it?

Answer to # 2. Terabithia is a make-believe magical kingdom. Jess and Leslie made it so that could Jess stay away from his fears, bullies, being yelled at. Jess loves it, he can draw with encouragement, not having to make sure that he has to "looks both ways" before doing something that he is not supposed to do. Leslie did it to have fun, get to know Jess' life an himself. The world of happiness to Jess and Leslie!

Rohan R said...

Jess and Leslie first get their friendship when they are in Mrs. Edmund's room and when Mrs. Edmund asks Leslie to sing. Leslie smiles at Jess and Jess smiles back. They finally become friends and sit together on the bus home. Terabithia is a magical kingdom that they created and they get to be the rulers of it. They chose a place in the woods to start. Leslie and Jess created it because that was the only place where they could be together and Terabithia is the only place where Jess can finally draw.

Olivia said...

What brought Jess and Leslie together was a smile. Jess smiled at Leslie at music and they were friends. They made a place called Terabithia since they wanted a secret place between themselves and where they could do stuff they wanted without being laughed at.

Naren said...

What brought Leslie and Jess was a single smile during music. At last, they were friends.Terabithia is an imaginary land made by Leslie and Jess. Jess and Leslie made it because it was like a safe spot away from "predators".

Anika S. said...

When Jess goes to music class and Miss.Edmunds is there he finally is happy and he is not angry at Leslie and smiles at her and she smiles back and Jess is not angry anymore and they finally become friends. Terabithia is a magical kingdom that Jess and Leslie make for there secret place because there is'nt anyone that can tease them and Jess can finally draw somewhere freely and Leslie encourages him to draw.

Joshua said...

I think that Ms. Edmunds happiness brings together Jess and Leslie. Terabithia is a made-up world that Leslie and Jess created. They created it because they wanted to be rulers and they would have no enemy. Jess also could start drawing again.

1. When Jess was mad the day before,he could have still been mad, but he smiled and Leslie smiled back. That is how they became friends.

2. Terabithia is a magical place where they are the rulers and all their enemies can't come. They are also free in the kingdom. They created it to be away from their enemies and Jess could stay away from his family.

Agrima said...

The smile that Jess gives Leslie in the music room brings them together in friendship, and Teribithia is a magical kingdom Jess and Leslie create so that they can get away from all their problems, fears, and worries. Teribithia is a place where they can be themselves without anyone or anything teasing them about it.

Danhee said...

In music class, Jess accidentally smiles to Leslie forgetting his anger out to Leslie when she won the race which Jess was practicing for the whole summer for.
Terabithia is a imaginary place where Leslie and Jess made up. They created it because they wanted some special place just for them and to get rid of their worries. They could relax there and they could be the rulers of it.

Anita said...

Jess and Leslie finally get together in friendship after music class, on the bus, when Jess asks Leslie about her school and why she had moved to a new house. They also be nice to each other in Terebithia. Terebithia is a special place Jess and Leslie created. They created it because they wanted a secret place like a castle all to their selfs that no one could know about.

Umair said...

Jess and Leslie meet one day and become friends with each other.They go to the same school and have the same teacher Ms.Edmens and leslie lives next to Jesses farm and Leslie always win first place in running.Jess wants to be the fastest runner,so when Leslie won, Jess felt sad that he wasnt the fastest runner in fifth grade,the other Fifth grade boys were mad.Really mad.That at the end of school they got in the school bus and every boy starts teasing Leslie exept Jess.So the next day leslie says she is sorry I wont do it again then they become friends and sit next to each other in the bus.They make Terabithia a secret place that is in the woods they copy from like Narnia a castle then they say that they will be the rulers of Terabithia.

Sammy said...

The thing that brought Jess and Leslie together in friendship was that in music class, Jess smiled at her. Right away, she knew that they were friends again. A example of when she knew is when she sat on the bus with him. She just sat next to him and didn't ask if she could sit there. Terabitha is a land that Jess and Leslie made up. They create it because they want a place that is private to them self and so they can do whatever they want. In the case of Jess, he wants to draw. No one wants him to draw or even likes the drawings. In Terabitha, he can draw all he wants.

Himanshu said...

At first Jess was angry at Leslie because Leslie beat him the the race and he lost his chance to be the fastest. I think the thing that made them be friends is that they both were getting bullied and they both were made fun of.
Terabithia is a made up land that Jess and Leslie made. In this land Jess and Leslie are the rulers. You have to swing across a rope into a forest. They made a house and they put water and food inside. They made this land because then they could be aloe and nobody would tease them. Another reason is Jess would not have to endure his parent's complaints.

Jamie said...

They become friends right after their first music class together. Terabithia is their secret place in the woods. They created it so they could escape the real world of bullies and annoying sisters.

Kelly M. said...

What finally brings Jess and Leslie together is when they are in music class, after they finish singing a song, Jess smiles at Leslie and they become friends.

Terabithia is a "magical" place that Jess and Leslie made to get away from their troubles like bullies and even families

2. Terabithia is a magical kingdom created by Jess and Leslie so they could be with each other privately.

Morgan K. said...

Jess became friends with Leslie by helping her get away from the seventh graders. After school,on the bus since Leslie was mad she accidently sat in the seventh grader seats. Jess grabbed her hand and told her that she had to climb out to her regular seat. She followed Jess to her seat, and she brought along May Belle.Once they got dropped off, Leslie wanted to thank Jess and make a hide-out with him. That is how they became freinds again.

Ryan S. said...

1.Terabithia brings Leslie and Jesse together in their friendship.

2.Terabithia is a secret place that only Jesse and Leslie know about.They created it because then Jesse and Leslie could get away from Gary Fulcher,Wanda Kay Moore,Janice Avery,and Jesse could draw to.

Jacob W. said...

The friendship all started when Leslie did not have a TV set. So in that case, everybody in Jesse's and Leslie's class teased Leslie. Jesse and Leslie became friends at the part when Jesse protected Leslie from Janice Avery. They were just getting out and Janice said, "Move kid" and Jesse stepped in front of Janice Avery and Jesse was so scared he could feel his heart knocking at his Adam's apple. Leslie appreciated Jesse's upstanding and invited him over to do some homework. And next is about Terabithia. Terabithia is a "magical" imagination to Jesse and Leslie. Teribithia is a place for Jesse and leslie to have their freedom. Such as when Jesse wants to draw and if he draws with people around him, they will laughat his drawings. And Leslie has freedom to tell Jess anything she want ike maybe somthing that will embarrissing in front of all the girls that tease Leslie in class.
