Talk:Bridge to Terabithia (novel)

message: In the initial information part, before the spoiler warning, it states: " a tragedy happens. So Jesse uses the courage that Leslie gave him to cope with the tragedy."
This line,heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
 appearing before the spoiler suggestion, strongly implies Leslie's fate, atleast it seems that way to me, and since this stuff about the tragedy is stated again, and in more detail, later on, and past the spoiler warning, I think this little bit should be removed from the begining info at the top of the article. If no one has any objections, I'll take that info out of the introduction a few days from now, unless someone disagree's, and then we can discuss. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Riphal (talk • contribs) 06:03, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spoiler at the beginning 

message: I read the book as a child and the thing that I remeber the most is that Leslie dies in that bridge incident
I dont understand why that very important piece has been edited out, that needs to be mentioned — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.49.5.174 (talk) 05:50, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Leslie's End 

message: There was a fairly short-lived band in the 1990s called Terabithiacite (for which there is not yet an article), but Terabithia merely redirects to this article.  Could we have a little "For the musical group, see Terabithia (band)" line at the beginning?  I ask before placing it, so as to head off any potential edit-war over the issue.  skoosh ]]User_talk:Skoosh|(háblame)]] 04:13, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

message: OK, I have to admit, I was impressed that by typing in "Terebithia" in the search bar, I got directed here. But in the section under "Controversy", which is titled "Terebithia", I got a little confused. It refers to Terebinthia, but send a link to Terebithia. I'm confused.

message: I added references for the controversy section but can find nothing about the death as being a reason for banning the book. Still looking though.  Cheers! Wassupwestcoast 04:46, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Added References to Controversy Section

message: Does anyone have a source citation for the new info? It's interesting but would have to be deleted as unverifiable according to WP policy. Cheers! Wassupwestcoast 20:56, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Did some looking and found good (and interesting) reference. An on-line newspaper called The Takoma Voice has a June 2005 article called "Lisa Hill and the Bridge to Terabithia by Diana Kohn" at "Our History:Takoma Archives". Unfortunately, the article does not seem to be accesible (attempted to retrieve 14 Feb 2007). However, the Internet Archive link does work "Lisa Hill and the Bridge to Terabithia by Diana Kohn".

We are having a Literary Presentation on the book Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson.  So, one of the things we are going to do is a rap on the book.  Here it is:
There once was a guy named Jesse (Jesse)
And then he met a girl named Leslie (Leslie)
Then Leslie had a big idea ('dea)
But then Jess had to go so he's like See Ya (See Ya!)
Then at school they were being all bullied (bullied)
And Jess kept getting all drooly (drooly)
Over his teacher cuz he thought she was all cooly (cooly)
So when they got home, Leslie had a plan
They decided to make a new land
So, that's why they created Terabithia, 
A place where no one else could be
(so a few months later, his teacher took him to the museum of art, where he felt some love through his tiny heart)
So when Jesse came back
Everyone cried,
Cuz they told him Leslie Burke had died, (Boo Hoo)
This was the rap. We hope it goes well and we hoped you liked it! See Ya!

message: I changed the name of the section which deals with the similarities between the names Terabithia and Terabinthia to from "Terabithia" to "Naming", as I feel this more accurately describes what this section is about. Any objections?

message: This story also sounds very similar to an earlier Twilight Zone episode, The Bewitchin' Pool.  Though I think Wikipedia policy would oppose making the connection without some literary reference to cite, perhaps someone can turn up a reference with a more careful search. 204.186.19.115 11:38, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I remember that song as being in Bridge to Terabithia, but the only mention I found in the (2000s) movie of said song was an allusion (said in response to the school bully with the Hermione Granger hairdo (well, first "Harry Potter" movie) not being at the door to charge a buck to urinate), "Free to pee!"

message: Just a note to everyone useing Wikipedia as a source to write your book reports, the book is not the same as the movie. Some contributing editors have been updating the plot summary with reference to the movie. Cheers! Wassupwestcoast (talk) 15:09, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

message: The Oxford Companion to Children's Literature (1999) by Carpenter and Prichard, makes a stronger claim for the role of Narnia. The current free trial at Questia is the first page of each section, such as 'N', page 370.
