I am reading the book Bridge to Terabithia. I saw the movie a while ago, and liked it, and i was interested in reading the book, because I had never had a chance before. I'm not very far in the book yet. I've just really read about Jess' family, and how he loves to run.
Jess gets up early every morning to run. He runs because he loves it. I think it's really great how much he cares about it. It seems to be the one thing he has. Their is nothing in it for him, except the happiness. He doesn't do it for money, fame, or anything else. Even if he isn't able to continue this hobby as he gets older, i think its good that he's taking advantage of the fact that he has spare time. And instead of being lazy, or doing stuff we would do these days like watch tv and use a computer/phone. It seems that Jess shares a special connection with running. He runs for hours on end. Again, for what? Just because it's what he wants. He doesn't let anything or anyone get in the way of it. Even though his family, especially his sister, always complains how dirty/sweaty he is afterwards, he doesn't let that affect him and his opinions. He stays strong on his beliefs no matter who supports him and what anyone says.
I think everybody could work on this trait a little. Everybody lets people bring them down. And everybody gets insecure because of what people think and say and feel. And these feelings get in the way of our happiness. They make us think twice about whether we should be doing the stuff we love to please ourselves, or if we should hold back to please others.
