Narnia Vs Middle Earth
Narnia vs Middle Earth By Connor Huffman Narnia and Middle Earth. Too lands filled with magic and war. The first, written by C. S. Lewis while the other is in the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings written by Tolkien. These two lands are much alike in almost every way, right up to the point where you take a look and everything is actually very different. There some similarities, yet there are differences, such as the writer of Narnia was Christian while Tolkien was Catholic. I will be comparing and contrasting about these topics. Lets dive deeper into the similarities of these two worlds.
Similarly Narnia and Middle Earth are both lands with much war. Both have many kinds of people. They both have magic and both hint at something deeper, which should vary from person to person so while we will skip this for the

Wrong. While Narnia is a land connected to the Earth we live on, just in a different dimension, all the while Middle Earth is its own world in its own universe. Middle Earth is also an Island while Narnia is a Nation. Narnia is surrounded by many other countries. Which is to differ from the Island Middle Earth, which has kingdoms in itself. We know Narnia is the name of the realm connected to earth and the name of the nation, but we do not know if Middle Earth is the island or the World. I assume it actually may as well be both for the rest of the world is so post to be dessert. So it can stand as either. This is proof that these are two very different lands indeed.
The stories, like their owners, are also very different. Narnia is a library full of stories about when we humans visit their realm. Lord of the Rings trilogy is all one story about the falling of Sauron. While both involve kings, Narnia is about a whole family till the last two. In Middle Earth, the king is actually running away from that reality. Both lead to the king taking his's/her's throne. This is a few differences in the two

    The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe is the first book in the Chronicles of Narnia series written by CS Lewis. The book series was such a great success that in 2008, the first book was turned into a film. What many people may not realize is that CS Lewis wrote the book series with a specific goal in mind: to showcase the word of God to different parts of the world through an artistic lens.…

    The Narnia series can be seen as a symbolic reiteration of classic biblical stories. The seven books attempt to recreate everything from major events in the Bible – Genesis and Revelation, the creation and end of the world – to popular medieval saint’s life. In The Magician’s Nephew, the reader is first introduced to the world of Narnia, along with Polly and Digory, the first children from our world to enter Narnia. As Genesis tells of the creation of the world, so The Magician’s Nephew explains how Narnia came to exist and introduces the reader to Aslan, the creator and God figure, and Jadis, the Satan figure, through whose presence at creation evil enters the world. The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe introduces the four Pevensie children – Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy…

    Lewis describes a series of events that lead the main character to find the girl who will accompany him to a different world . He writes on how the wardrobe came to be and how a boy and a girl travel to a different world. The way the boy and girl find their way to the world is the boy’s evil uncle who calls himself a magician. This world can lead to many different worlds. This world is a very quiet, peaceful, beautiful place with colors that are not from the place the boy and girl are from, and many tall trees. This world has many different “pools” that represent different worlds. After figuring out how to switch from world to world, the boy and girl take one of the trees and they make a wardrobe out of it. This is how the wardrobe is made, and how the whole story of Narnia starts. C.S. lewis’ writings all give a foreshadowing in the end of his books to keep readers intrigued with the story of Narnia. The first book sets everything up and gives a very good understanding of the second book, The Lion, The Witch, And the…

    In the year 1937, John Ronald Reul began to write one of the most intriguing and fanatical book series’ ever created. J.R.R. Tolkien was forty-five years old when he began to write the Hobbit, A prequel to Lord of the Rings, Tolkien was born in 1892, and died in 1973, he was twice a professor of Anglo-Saxon at the University of Oxford in England. Tolkien was addicted to learning and writing about the Old English language and Anglo-Saxon topics. J.R.R. Tolkien based Fellowship of the Ring, on his personal life, English Ruins, and much of English literature. He got the idea of the dark and contrasting side of Sauron from the times when his home was being refurbished and during the time of the Industrial Revolution. World War I began in 1914,…

    When I started reading The Lord of The Rings book 1 I thought that of a calm story about the travels of Mr.Frodo Baggins. Mr.Frodo Baggins is the main character of the novel The Lord of The Rings written by J.R.R Tolkien and is a fantasy world at war book. But as I read Lord of The Rings I saw the character Frodo Baggins turn from an adventurous hobbit to a great warrior and survivalist. I believe that this book is about war pointless because no matter what you lose lives and precious people.…

    Can two different books really have so much in common? Not every book has something in common with another, but some have so much in common they could be the same book. In The 13th warrior and in Beowulf there seems to be some slight differences, but there are also some major similarities. Beowulf and The 13th Warrior are two completely different stories but yet seem to have so much in common. While both The 13th warrior and Beowulf are based on the same topic, they both have very different views of fighting and winning.…

    There are many differences and summaries between the book and the movie the coronals of Narnia the lion, witch and wardrobe. For example; “In the movie, they crossed that river (jumping over ice bergs, Megrim confronting them on the river, etc), while I'm pretty sure that in the book they didn't cross it, but walked along it or something... can't fully recall. Also, I'm pretty sure in the book they were only confronted by Megrims once after Edmund betrayed them (when Peter fought him), but in the movie there was also the aforementioned confrontation on the river.…

    These two pieces of literature are different from one another but they also have some of the very same elements that make them interesting. The first thing is that both Beowulf and Frodo are both heroes even though they act very different and their stories are different. The next thing is the two heroes both go on a journey. They both have someone they can depend on. For Beowulf this would be Wiglaf who helps him defeat the dragon even though Beowulf killed it. For Frodo his friend Sam is the one he can deepened on. Sam tried to kept Frodo from falling into temptation of the ring, he saved Frodo from the Orcs, and he helped carry Frodo up the mountain. The next thing that these two stories have and these two heroes have in common are the legacies and stories that…

    Firstly, both stories’ main protagonists represent the positive expectations of good individuals in their respective societies. In turn, the monsters and antagonists of the stories represent the marginalities of Anglo-Saxon society and the lowly peasants of English society. Lastly, both books explore similar themes of greed and wrath through the characterization of a dragon, and Tolkien builds upon social commentary present in Beowulf to create a statement about the social illnesses that lead to the Great Depression. At first glance, these works of art seem vastly different and unconnected. However, careful observation reveals that pieces of prose and poetry written throughout history have a tendency to repeat literary themes, borrowing from one another and morphing ideas to create more relevant and more compelling…

    If someone wants to get a point across to a wide audience they must appeal to people’s emotions, logic, or show them that they are credible. In the book The Other Wes Moore the author tries to show his readers that any decision made could change a life in a positive or negative way. Throughout his book, Wes Moore compares the lives of two boys with the same name, growing up at the same time, both in bad neighborhoods. He examines these young men and tries to show when and why their lives changed for better and worse. People cannot choose their living conditions or who their parents are, but Wes Moore shows how the decisions made today can change a person’s future for better or worse. For his audience, use of pathos is the best way for the author Wes Moore to inspire his readers to listen to his purpose of this story and make a change in their lives. To further support his book the author appeals to the audience’s ethos and logos but they are minor in comparison to his appeal to pathos.…

    One thing I noticed was the use of several different themes included in both stories. In the Lord of the Rings the inhabitants of Middle Earth join to save themselves from enslavement. Centuries before, a ring was forged putting much power into control of who had it. Some men fell into that power, but an alliance of men and elves defeated it. The Ring was cut from Sauron hand. Sauron was a antagonist character who was pursuing the power by wearing the ring. After being cut from Saurons hand, the ring should have been destroyed, but a human prince, Isildur, took it. Isildur was slain, and the Ring fell into a river. Myth also played a part in The Lord of the Rings, the sense of transience and lost grandeur that pervades The Lord of the Rings goes, in part, with the territory in which Tolkien is wading. He writes the novel in a mythic mode, and one of the conventions of myth is that it describes a past that is more glorious than the present. This sense of loss certainly is present in the Greek myths, for example, or in Homer’s epic poems that draw on these myths—both of which describe a world in which men and gods mix freely, a world that is no more. Tolkien’s own work is something between mythology and fiction, locating itself in a middle ground between a past that is remembered only in song and the everyday present of the reader. This sense of ancientness is constantly present, brought to life in chants, poems, and graven inscriptions. As Tolkien shows again and again—whether with the Elves or with the Númenóreans or the Dwarves—the stories that the characters tell define them. In…
