Jesse and Leslie discover friendship and all its benefits in their desire for wanting out of shared loneliness. This is perhaps the predominant theme of Katherine Paterson’s ‘ Bridge to Terabithia’. Leslie, in a milder way, feels the same – given that her parents, despite working from home, are focused on work stuff than the needs of their daughter.
His father is swept away by work, and his mother, is too busy homemaking, nurturing the girls, and worrying about the pile of bills to be paid. He gets this way because he feels left alone with no one caring about what he wants and needs. From the plot, Jesse is sad and irritable to himself and towards the people around him his sisters, his parents, and fifth-grade teachers at Lark Creek Elementary school. Leslie and especially Jesse are the two major characters the reader sees grappling with the issue of loneliness and needing attention. Later in the book, other themes – including friendship and grief are introduced.
