****
Bridge To Terabithia is by katherine Paterson and is a realistic fiction story about two 5th graders (Jesse Aarons and Leslie Burke) who create a magical kingdom in a nearby forest which they call Terabithia.
Jesse wants to be the fastest runner in the fifth grade but that gets ruined when he gets overrun by a girl named Leslie Burke and they begin a friendship and rein as king and queen of Terabithia. In Terabithia they battle giants and live through the 5th grade.
I recommend this book to all readers that love fantasy and realistic fiction who also have a great imagination.

Character Writing


Carlisle Cullen
Carlisle Cullen has been brought to life by Stephenie Meyer in Twilight. He is one of the main protaginist vampires in this book because he shows how he cares for Bella and his family's saftey and will risk his life for her protection.

On page 17 when Meyer shows that the Cullens live in the gloomy town of forks. Because the cullens are introduced on the first day of school. This also shows why they would live here so that they would'nt get noticed later when he shouldnt be alive.

On page 331 it shows when the main problem starts when James(the tracker) smells Bella and when Carlisle sticks up for his family. when he says "she's with us" (refering to Bella) and then James says "you brought a snack" and then again Carlisle says "shes with us" and that also shows he has a pleasent temperment because most people would shout it out.

On page 293 it shows that Carlisle is 359 years old when Edward says " London in the 1560's" and then Carlisle says "The London of my youth" and that means he can control his thirst when he is around blood and humans all day at work.
