Voyage Of The Dawn Treader
Would you let your greed blind you to the risks? This is the question that Eustace had to answer in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. After the Dawn Treader departs from the Lone Islands and lands on another island, the crew of the Dawn Treader gets to work, repairing, refilling, and washing the various items on board. Eustace decides to shirk his share of the work and take a walk. Not knowing his way around Narnia, he gets lost and stumbles into a valley. While in the valley, he discovers a dying dragon and finds a cave full of the dragon’s treasures. Letting his greed get the better of him, Eustace starts to load himself up with the dragon’s treasures and steal as much as he can. Everyone agrees that Eustace wanted to plunder the dragon’s treasures, but some think that Eustace should have slid the magic bracelet on his arm, while others believe that Eustace should not have slid the bracelet on his arm. Eustace should have slid the magic bracelet on his arm for three reasons: Eustace had an amazing encounter, he received a life-changing revelation, and he became more like Jesus. …show more content…
Even though Eustace had never met Aslan, Aslan completely changed Eustace. He exchanged Eustace’s despair and sadness for joy. Eustace experienced real, unconditional love for the first time. The second reason that Eustace should have slid the bracelet on his arm is that he received a life-changing revelation. He realized that he wasn’t as self-sufficient as he thought he was. He found that he couldn’t change himself from a dragon back to a boy. Only Aslan had the power to do

    ‘It is through the characters that the themes of a novel come to life.’ Without characters the author would not be able to expand on the themes and provide depth into the novel. There would be no emotion in the novel and it would not be interesting to read. ‘A Bridge to Wiseman’s cove,’ by James Maloney, uses characters such as Carl, Harley and Justine to make the novel come to life through the themes of friendship, abandonment and support.…

    Niki Caro’s film The Whale Rider, conveys the importance of rebelling in order to progress through depicting the stage of finding the boon of success in the Heroine’s Journey. After Koro’s young, male students fail to retrieve Koro’s rei puta to determine who would become the next chief, Paikea secretly retrieves his rei puta. In this scene, Caro alternates between shots of Paikea diving into the ocean and shots of the rei puta lying on the ocean floor with seaweed surrounding it. Through the portrayal of Paikea diving into the ocean to retrieve the rei puta, Caro demonstrates Paikea “diving” into her culture and finding ways to carry on old traditions whilst breaking the old traditions which are no longer applicable to her day and age. The…

    It is interesting that Athena, a deathless god, did not or was not able to conceal this scar even though she was able to disguise Odysseus to be unrecognizable. I think that Athena purposefully kept the scar as a way for Odysseus to be able to prove his identity. Odysseus trusts Eurycleia, so she may be able to help Odyseus test others in further books. I think the scar may also help to confirm his identify to the others who are bound to be…

    In Lisbon's harbor, there is a vicious storm circulating which destroys the boat. Jacques attempts to save a sailor, but is thrown overboard during the process. Watching nobody making an attempt to save him, Candide “was just going to jump after him, but was prevented by the philosopher Pangloss, who demonstrated to him that the Bay of Lisbon had been made on purpose for the Anabaptist to be drowned” (Voltaire. 389). Candide is yet again shocked by Pangloss’ actions by stopping him from saving Jacques, but behold Pangloss starting to once more, preach about destiny and the greater good. He claims that Jacques being thrown overboard and drowning is somehow meant for the best, not even recognizing that either one of them had an opportunity to save his life. If Pangloss did not look at this situation as an optimist and thinking that something good would come out of it, he would not have had the urge to stop Candide from saving Jacques. This is a situation where the cruelty and suffering seems inescapable but can also reconcile with some of the values of enlightenment. Enlightenment touches on testing authority and obtaining self authorization. In this case Candide could have disobeyed Pangloss’ command to not save Jacques because he knew that saving him was the right thing to do. If…

She won’t do something rash.” [Pg. 123] supposing that she wouldn’t act conspicuously upon the information of her son’s death. In its place, she kills herself as she finds it as the only penalty she can eventually grant on for Creon. Even with all the power and absolute strength Creon was granted, he was not able to prevent the death of her son. She terminates every prop of reinforcement and devotion he actually accepted, and without them alive he aches and undergoes a life worse than hell, - a miserable, inelastic, frail life without love and happiness. He, as Creon, who commenced with everything – a supportive and dedicated family, strength and power, radically, defeated in the…
