Answer and Explanation:
In the movie "Bridge to Terabithia", Jesse and Leslie are fifth graders who end becoming best friends. They use their imagination to come up with this whole "universe", in which a land called Terabithia exists, and they are the only ones who can access it.
Jesse, unlike his friend Leslie, worries a lot about what others think of him. His insecurities are made clear from the get-go. His parents do not pay much attention to him, and he is bullied at school. The way others perceive and treat him becomes a great deal in his life and sense of self. Leslie, on the other hand, does not worry much about others' opinions. More secure than Jesse, she stands firmly for what she believes in. When her classmates belittle her for not having a TV at home, for instance, she is not bothered. Being different and made fun of for it does not make her insecure. As a matter of fact, Jesse is more bothered by it, even though the criticism was not direct to him.
** This is where you describe yourself and compare your personality to one of the characters. Therefore, feel free to change anything in this answer:
I believe I am more similar to Jesse, even though I wish I were like Leslie. What others say have great power over me. I'm easily embarrassed, and sometimes I think everyone is watching me. My mistakes mortify me. Yet, with time, I am slowly learning to let go of worries. It will be a long way until I learn to not care about what others think of me, but I'm determined to keep on working on myself.
