What aspects of the true story are reflected in 'Bridge to Terabithia'?

Answer 1

The creation of Terabithia itself can be seen as a reflection of how children use their imaginations to cope with the real world. In real - life, kids often create their own little 'worlds' either in their minds or in a small corner of a yard or a forest. In the story, Terabithia is that special place for Jess and Leslie, a place where they can be themselves and face their fears, much like how children use their imaginary places in real life to find solace and strength.
