1)My prediction: Finally, a bad news came, Janice Avery knew that the letter was written by Jess and Leslie. She was angry and even couldn't breath. Janice chased behind Jess and Leslie. But there is one way for them to escape :"ran to the Terabithia!" The secret place had become a public place, Jess and Leslie had to protect Terabithia.

 

3) I think a school is actually a small society. There are bad, naughty students, and pure, graceful students in it. Jess is quite introverted but pure. He is also a child who always wants to outdo others. Leslie is a pure, helpful and clever girl. She likes running very much, she is as strong as a boy and Leslie also has the good personalities that the boy has. Leslie doesn't like to dress up herself or to bully small students. She is good at enlightening people.

Even though I know the whole story, I also want to talk about my opinion. I think, eventually, Jess and Leslie will get married. They will live in Terabithia twice a week.  They will travel around this huge place and find some thing new for their live. After that they will record some strange thing of their own way. Leslie may publish some fictions that talk about the live in the marvelous place. Jess will become a confident painter and hold a gallery with May Belle.

Great work, everyone!  You've made some creative answers that could definitely happen in the future.  

 

Kitty, I love the details in your prediction, "She was angry and even couldn't breath."  You've truly painted a picture with your words!  I also agree with your descriptions of school as a society of different people.  Great insight!

 

Ashley, this prediction is fantastic.  Again, the level of specificity is what make both you and Kitty great writers--I can truly picture every part of your prediction.  Fabulous creativity!

 

Bill, I think you're on the right track--this story could be a ghost story and a love story at the same time, who knows!  I like that you can "put yourself in the shoes" of both Jess and Leslie.  You will have to explain the "free to pee" in class, though!
