In the book <em>Bridge to Terabithia</em>, we meet Jess. Jess is a boy who struggles with confidence, and he does not take a lot of pride in most things he does. However, one thing that he is very proud of is the fact that he is an extremely good runner. At the beginning of the year, he is ready to become the number one runner in his grade. However, when Leslie arrives, she defeats him.
Initially, Jess is very upset about this loss, and he cannot seem to find a way to recover. However, he is eventually able to console himself, as this experience leads him to meet Leslie, who ends up becoming his best friend.
I believe it would be to inform, the particular excerpt isn't really informing about anything, and its not persuading the reader to do anything, simply attempting to entertain the reader with a story.
If you receive a 1 on the ideas and content rubric, it may mean that : the severity and the frequency of errors are so overwhelming that the readers find it difficult to focus on the message. You might want to try a little bit harder if you only receive a 1.
hope this helps
