    The book The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis, takes place in Narnia. Narnia is a land of talking animals. This story appeals to a younger audience, since they are interested in animals and magical creatures. One of the main characters, Aslan, is the lion who rules Narnia. According to the passage, Aslan is a type of god-like figure because of his long life, immense power, and benevolence. It is very fascinating to note that, when they hear Aslan's name, the children recognize his power, but also become more themselves. The physical form of the lion does not matter. The author uses a lion because a child associates a lion as being scary, but in the story the lion is kind and brave. Aslan's characteristics alter the young readers…

    It was once said that “evil enters like a needle and spreads like an oak tree” (“Ethiopian”). In C. S. Lewis’ The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, evil enters the fictitious world of Narnia and quickly diffuses throughout the land. This evil permeates every aspect of its society and has its inhabitants living in fear of the source: Jadis, “Queen” of Narnia, better known as the White Witch. She is this evil that has infiltrated Narnia through her villainous origins, dastard objectives, destructive instruments, and corrupt characteristics…

    In The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (Lewis, 1950/2005, Chapter 5, p. 24), Lucy excitedly tells Peter and Susan that there is indeed a country that can be accessed through the wardrobe. She mentions that she meets Edmund in the woods and turns to Edmund to backup her story. This portrays her trust towards him as a brother to help her prove to Susan and Peter that what she said is real. However, instead of helping Lucy, Edmund decided to let her down.

    “All stories consist of a few common structural elements found universally in myths, fairy tales, dreams and movies” stated screenwriter Christopher Volger (“The Writers Journey”). The traditional hero quest plotline is seen anywhere from old Greek myths to the blockbuster films of today. All hero quests have the same set of steps; some are harder to define then others. The steps of the hero quest include; the call, the threshold, the descent, trials and ordeals, the abyss, transformation, atonement and finally the return. The call is the first step in a traditional hero quest. The Call invites the Initiate into the adventure (Thompson and Harris). Before the call the Initiate has no intention of being called to something bigger. The Initiate may feel that something is missing in life, and during the call the Initiate may refuse it; eventually to revoke that decision and go to the world of adventure (Thompson and Harris). The threshold is the point when the Initiate leaves the known to enter the unknown. It is the “jumping off point” between everyday life and adventure (Thompson and Harris). The Initiate may go unwillingly or willingly to adventure. This is also the step where the Initiate may inherit or find a mentor. The descent is not literally descending into something, but going deeper and deeper into the unknown (Thompson and Harris).…

    C.S Lewis, the author of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe wrote this is novel in 1949. The novel is basically about religion faith and Christianity. And testing your faith kind of. An allegory is like a story that is compared to the one you're looking at. Something about it and that tells a story behind that you may not see or realize. The allegory in this novel is that Aslan is like Jesus Christ and in the story it was kind of like a test in the children's faith. Seeing how they would believe and think. My claim is that there can be good and evil in the world and you are the one who has to see your religion and which is the good and evil in your life.

    According to Edgar Alan Poe, a short story should be like a window into someone else’s life, in other words it doesn’t really matter what happened before and it doesn’t matter what’s going to happen after. The authors of the short stories I have read in class this year, using only that window, have made me feel sorry for the characters and angry towards the resentment the rest of the community shows them because they are different from others. Reading White & witchetty, the Dolls House and Josie has made me question my own values and beliefs.…

    Reading Task: Students will silently read the passage in question on a given day—first independently and then following along with the text as the teacher and/or skillful students read aloud. Depending on the difficulties of a given text and the teacher’s knowledge of the fluency abilities of students, the order of the student silent read and the teacher reading aloud with students following might be reversed. What is important is to allow all students to interact with challenging text on their own as frequently and independently as possible. Students will then reread specific passages in response to a set of concise, text- dependent questions that compel them to examine the meaning and structure of Pollan’s reporting. Therefore, rereading is deliberately built into the instructional unit.…

    In A Doll’s House by Henrik Ibsen and Othello by William Shakespeare women were treated as victims of their era due to male dominance. Women in the 16th, 18th and 19th centuries were considered inferior to man. They would tackle tasks such as taking care of the household and the children while men were out making the family income. Men did not believe that women were capable of thinking on the same level as them. However, the two plays mentioned give us examples of two characters that disobey the superiority of men, but have rather different outcomes because of the time period in which the plays have been written.…
