Friendship Most powerful trait?

Love?Hope?Generosity? Or do they fall into on category?= Friendship.

Book Information For my Forth Outside Reading Project I

read the book: The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares.

Reason for Choosing the Book#1

I had seen the movie prior to reading the book, and I really enjoyed it.

This is the movie poster for The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

Reason For Choosing the Book#2

Four best friends with four different personalities.

Reason For Choosing the Book#3

The book was a bestseller for teenage girls.

Summary 4 best friends. Summer vacation. Best friends since they could

remember. Shopping and discovered jeans that fit

all four girls even with the different body sizes.

This is Lena

Summary

Carmen-Went to visit father in South Carolina.

Bridget-Went to a soccer camp in Baja, Mexico.

Lena-Visiting her family in Greece.

Tibby-Making a documentary and gets mixed in with a sick girl. Also is working at a department store.

Favorite Part Bridget and Lena. Bridget was having a problem, Lena

was trying to figure it out so she could help her.

Why? Shows:

Love.Their friendship is really true.Friendship in general is very powerful.

Quote ‘“We’ll figure out how to fix it.”’ “Bridget looked down at the pants,

grateful to have them. They meant support and they meant love, just as they’d all vowed at the begininning of the summer, but with Lena right here, right next to here, she almost didn’t need them. Bridget looked up at the sky, and she looked at Lena.” ‘“I think you already did”’ (290).

Quote explanation Fully shows:

Love.Friendship.And how the pants were just a symbol of

the connection between them.

Culture Tibby: Found taking care of a sick girl. Lena: Shy Greek girl she is and how art

is a major part of life. Bridget: Soccer and attention. Carmen: loving her parents and the

divorce really upsetting her.

Identity Tibby: Dresses in big and dark

clothing. Carmen: Acts very tough and can

handle anything. Lena: Puts a shy face on. Bridget: Constant attention. Lacking

her mother.

Values All value: Each other The Pants (their connection).

Lesson/Message Friendship!

Recommendation Yes!

Even though they were apart, they still are best friends.

Love for each other

• Mainly for girls!

Final Thought “We, the sisterhoood, herby instate

the following rules to govern the use of the pants”

Rule number 10- Remember: Pants=love. Love your pals. Love yourself.
