Review: Lion Witch And The Wardrobe
Dear C.S. Lewis

The book Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe to me represents people’s life as christians. When the siblings were away from Narnia they still had it in their hearts, and it showed on their outward appearance. When they were not in Narnia they had the same positive attitude they had when they were there. So, how it changed my point of view is that I should live my everyday life with christ in my heart. Also I need to look at people by who they are and not by their looks. When they were not in Narnia they had the same positive attitude they had when they were there.

The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe really changed how I look at people in my daily life. The book, showed me that certain experiences can change your life and how

    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…

    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…

    The homecoming musical performed this year, in the Shaw Center Auditorium, was Little Shop of Horrors. Being part of the crew, gave me the opportunity to see the play grow from rehearsing on an empty stage, to what was presented on opening night. However, I only had one opportunity to seat in the audience and see the entire play on Thursday, September 19th. Not knowing much about the play before that night, I was very surprised about everything that happened. Everyone I thought was important ended up dead, and I wasn’t expecting that. But I really liked it, because it had that surprise factor that made me jump off my seat a couple of times. Also, it was well structured, making it easy to understand what led to every situation and the characters gave live to every scene making the musical exciting and funny, which kept me interested until the end.…

    In Clive Staples Lewis early life he was an atheist. He was distraught over the passing of his mother. Lewis was eventually converted to Christianity by some of his friends; shortly thereafter he began writing The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Christianity played a big role, as the story is an obvious allegory for the Bible. Christianity is well-rooted throughout the novel in the hero, who represents Jesus, and the stone table, which represents the cross.…

    You are mistaken when you think that everything in the books 'represents' something in this world. Things do that in The Pilgrim's Progress but I'm not writing in that way. I did not say to myself 'Let us represent Jesus as He really is in our world by a Lion in Narnia': I said 'Let us suppose that there were a land like Narnia and that the Son of God, as He became a Man in our world, became a Lion there, and then imagine what would have happened.' If you think about it, you will see that it is quite a different thing. (Hooper 425)…

    In truth, I could say everything does. Every exposure a person has changes them. I'm never the same person I was the day before. Every piece of media I consume, every experience I have refines my thinking. I gain perspective, understanding, or knowledge from everything I consume. It is rare, however, that one book changes a person as much as The Book Thief changed me, made me reconsider and analyze a lot about my life and others. It helped me to appreciate a lot of things and previously I had not, and that is only the conscience effect that it had. I am always grateful to find something that challenges me, something I can learn something from; whether it be about myself or the world as a…

    There are many parallel themes between “The lion, The Witch, and The wardrobe” and the Christian religion throughout this film. Due to the fact that “movies can have a significant social impact”(31), C.S Lewis may have created these somewhat obvious parallels to show younger viewers a few basic ideas of the Christian religion and how it can be presented in fair tail like…

    Not everyone in this world is like what they seem to be. Today, we live in a world where only a few live their true self and not disguise themselves with the traits they never had. One can never be truly happy until they start living their true self and take off the illusionary disguise.
