Choral Reading

Chapters 9
Chapter 9, p. 86 [The rain began in earnest…..]
Although in the last chapter the author alludes to the change in weather, here she lets
us know that the characters feel as if the weather is conspiring against them. I think
she means that weather is doing everything it can to keep them away from the things
they like to do together.

Think about the visit to
Terabithia today, what new
things do we learn about
Jess? Is the author trying to
tell us something?
