Cape Reinga.

Cape Reinga is the tip of New Zealand where two oceans meet. The Pacific and the Tasman sea met at the north tip of New Zealand. Did you know Maori people believe that when they die their spirits go up to Cape Reinga and go up to God then. The original meaning of Cape Reinga means under group spirits. The Cape Reinga light house was finish built in 1941. Cape Reinga was first used in May 1940 and one of the most ancient land marks in New Zealand. There is no light house keeper at Cape Reinga the light house runs on solar panels. It used to be one of New Zealand's best light houses and it still is. Cape Reinga is very famous around the world because it is one of the country's that have two oceans that meet. It does get a good check every two years.People like Cape Reinga and you need to go there.

Chapter 11 to 13

How have the events of chapter 10

changed the relationship between Jesse

and his family in these chapters? Give

three examples from today’s reading to

support your answer.

 After Leslie died his family was supporting him. 

His dad started to care about him and help him with his emotion. 

His family is was starting to be a bit more kind to Jesse and respecting his space and art. 

In your opinion, why do you think Jess decided to share Terabithia with May Belle? 

I think Jesse let May Belle in Terabithia because he wanted to share it with her because he might have been lonely. He might also wanted to share it because he wanted to say sorry for pushing her on the floor. He might have needed someone to trust him more. He might have wanted to form a bigger relationship with May Bell. 

Chapter 10

 “Your girlfriend's dead, and Momma

thought you were dead, too.” (p. 102)

Why do you think the author ended the

chapter like this? What mood or

emotion was she trying to evoke in the

reader

I think the emotions she had is that she scared that Jessie would have died on the rope as well. She was also sad that the only friend Jesse had died. The mood she was in was she was stressed and upset. She was a bit angry at Jesse for not telling her where he was going with Leslie after school. The author ended the chapter like this because he wanted to add some emotions in to the book to make people reflect.

Chapter 8 and 9

 On page 93 the author writes, “Lord, it

would be better to be born without an

arm than to go through life with no

guts.” What do you think this means?

You would rather go through life with your guts than a arm. You need your guts to make decisions during your life time. Your guts tells you if it is the right and wrong decision. Trust your gut more than your arm.

Why does Mr. Aaron come home from work early in chapter 8?

He cam early home because he did not have enough money for clothes. Instead he spent it on other things he needed

Bridge to Terabithia chapter 7

 Imagine you are Leslie. What advice would you give Janice Avery

If I was Leslie I would tell Janice Avery to stop being so bossy to everyone. Another thing is that she must stop being such a cry baby and start wining for everything. Janice Avery needs to stop judging people around like she does to Jesse in the previous chapters. Janice Avery is blaming everyone that she knows just for doing something to her. This is the list if thing I would like Janice Avery to fix.
