Character Development In The Witch, And The Wardrobe

When they are their the youngest sister, Lucy finds a wardrobe that takes her the mysterious land of Narnia where she meets Tumnus and becomes friends. McCarthy states in a Variety article, later in the book Edmund meets the witch and turns on his siblings representing sin coming into the world like Adam and Eve (2005). Peter, Susan, and Lucy go to seek Aslan’s help to save their brother and Aslan makes a deal with the Witch to take Edmund’s place on the execution table for his sins, representing Jesus dying on the cross to save our sins. Hamilton states in her book, when Aslan is executed, the next day the table is broken and he resurrected, C.S. Lewis used this in his story to relate with Jesus’s resurrection and the hope it brings people of a new life(Hamilton,2011). When they fight the Witch the oldest brother, Peter shows courage and bravery and is appointed the high knight and defeats her and the children become the kings and queens of Narnia.

C.S. Lewis wrote The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe because he wanted to write a children’s book “as a gift for his godchild” (Palmer). It began for him with a series of pictures that came into his mind. “Lewis stated, ‘Everything began with images; a faun carrying an umbrella, a queen on a sledge, a magnificent lion” (Kennedy). A fairy tale was forming in his mind and “‘At first there wasn't anything Christian about them; that element pushed itself in of its own accord’” (Kennedy), As the story progresses and Lewis’s characters and storyline begin to develop a seemingly clear relationship formed between The Bible and this novel. “Given Lewis’s strong Christian faith, that is not surprising. In fact, once the story was established, Lewis said he ‘...saw how stories of this kind could steal past a certain inhibition which had paralysed much of my own religion in childhood’” (Kennedy.) Even though C.S. Lewis started off writing a children's novel, many people perceive it to be a novel written in parallel to the Bible. Lewis has used Biblical references and a classic storyline to prove that good will alway triumph over evil. Aslan is labeled as a divine figure in the novel; he is also known as the son of the Emperor-Beyond-the-Sea. Aslan’s death and resurrection is like that of Christ. The four children are all considered important to in the world of Narnia, but in the real world they are

The Lenses of Gender by Sandra Bem begins by introducing the three lenses that will be discussed in the book: androcentrism, gender polarization, and biological essentialism. The most significant aspect to this reading was the concept of females being an addition to males or the ‘other’. Specifically, this idea is derived from a biblical view. When taking a look at the creation of man and the story of Adam of Eve, “Adam is explicitly given the power to name--that is, define--every single creature on earth, including women… Adam is unambiguously said to be created in God’s image. Eve, in contrast, is an inferior departure from this godly standard,” (Bem, 1993, p. 46) This perception of females being below the male standard carries out throughout

The books have Christian themes and describe the adventures of a group of children who visit a magical land called Narnia. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was the first published and the most popular book of the series. Lewis is said to have stated that he wrote the novels when he wondered what it would be like if Jesus Christ was incarnated on another planet or world to save the souls of those inhabitants”.

Prince Caspian: He is the rightful King of Narnia. He is the nephew of King Miraz. He believes in the stories of ‘old Narnia’ and wants to things to be the way it used to be. He wants peace and equality between all the people of Narnia. King Miraz wants to kill him, he runs away and creates an army to defeat King Miraz.

Two other people, or should I say creatures were seen in the book. These two are Aslan and Queen Jadis. Queen Jadis is first seen when Polly and Digory jump into a puddle. At first she seems to be a beautiful and amazing person, but when Digory awoke her from her slumber, they realized she was very evil. From there on in the book. You can see how much eviler Queen Jadis gets when she does not receive what she wants. Aslan is seen towards the end of the novel and is seen as a ferocious, yet calming lion. Everyone was scared of him but little that they know that this lion is the king of Narnia. He helps defeating Queen Jadis and is seen as a hero. All important characters in these books are well developed. C.S. Lewis offers the full physical and mental description of the characters depicted. When he does this, he is able to do it in a very fun style and still shows a concept about “good versus

Lewis employed literary devices well and did an excellent job writing the book. “And if you ever read a book called The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, you may like to know that this is the very same faun, Tumnus by name, whom Queen Susan’s sister had met on the very first day when she found her way into Narnia.” This quote reveals how C.S. Lewis showed what point of view the story was written from. The quote helps readers realize that the book is written from a third-person view. “But in spite of his rude words, Bree was a patient teacher” This quote uses the literary device characterization because it brings forth the idea that Bree is a likeable horse. It demonstrates that Bree can be rude, but also nice and patient. The author of The Horse and His Boy did a good job using literary devices and writing the book.

The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is the first of several novels in the C.S. Lewis’s Chronicles of Narnia. These books tell stories of another universe that is called Narnia. Here there are many unearthly things from talking animals and evil witches. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe is the story of four young siblings who discover this new world by entering a wardrobe. Little did they know, they were destined to become the new royalty of Narnia but only after going through many battles. In The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, C.S. Lewis analyzes the character Lucy, the theme of good versus evil, and the parallels of Narnia to other literature and Lewis’s life.

Polypharmacy is an emerging problem that has drastically increased in the past 20 years (Alpert, 2015). This is a huge problem in the elderly population greater than 65 years old because this group is more likely to have been diagnosed with multiple conditions that require many different medications. Other reasons include the increasing availability of newer medications that treat more than one condition, the elderly who are known to be on multiple pills a day, and providers prescribing more than one drug to aggressively treat chronic conditions (Alpert, 2015). About 44% of men and 57% of women greater than 65 years of age take five or more medications in a week, about 10% of both men and women take more than ten pills each week (Woodruff, 2010).

An example is when in the three movies and the book series, Aslan is portrayed as a noble and powerful creation of Narnia. In the movies, Aslan is portrayed as king, protective, loving and even noble which is part of his character. In the book series, he is portrayed as a father figure to every character, talking to animals, playful and even having a sense of humor. For instance in the book, the Prince of Caspian, Aslan is shown as humorous when he attempts to make the Trufflehunter have belief in him through the picking of the dwarf with his mouth and giving a big shake. In the Lion, the witch and the Wardrobe, Aslan is portrayed as playful. This is seen immediately he comes back from the dead and begins playing with Lucy and Susan for them to try catching

The County council meeting that I attended was all I thought it would be, minus the crazy person that I was promised. The county council meeting was facilitated by a group of white men and women with very few if any minorities in attendance. The council appeared to be very dry leaving me questioning why this was so important. However, shortly after settling in for the long hall it clicked, and I was able to make the connection to my Political Science 1100 course, and how exactly the county council meeting fit into the bigger picture of government and its importance.

In C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Lewis emphasizes the three points of philosophy, themes, and symbolism throughout his writing. Lewis was a strong Christian man, and wanted to make children see and understand all the stories of the Bible. Therefore, he put Christian elements through his books, but with fantasy characters as well. Especially in this story, Lewis conveys the differences between good and evil. Aslan is represented as Christ just as the White Witch represents the sense of evil. Lewis wrote several books in this Narnia series, but The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe became the most famous and recognized of his novels.

In his essay On the Three Ways of Writing for Children, Lewis describes three ways he feels writers use when writing children’s literature. The first he describes as, “ ‘giving the public what it wants.’ Children are, of course, a special public and you find out what they want and give them that, however little you like it yourself.” Writing a children’s story for the sake of writing a children’s story. It’s written strictly for the purpose of selling to a specified audience. You give them what you think they want even if you don’t agree or like what you are writing. The second way Lewis describes as, ““The printed story grows out of a story told to a particular child with the living voice and perhaps ex tempore.”. We know from Lewis himself that Prince Caspian was not written out of a story he told to a child; he wrote this book as part of a series of books based around the Pevensie children, who discover a mysterious and magical land in the back of a wardrobe (Prince Caspian is the second in a series of seven books). Lewis advocates for writing not to impress, but for expression. He does not write children’s books

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe written by C. S. Lewis is a film adaptation of a fairly fantasy tale. It shows exciting adventures of four English children – Lucy, Edmund, Peter and Susan - who found the magical land of Narnia by way of a wardrobe that they found out in the house of elderly professor where they were sent by their mother.

Narnia's first characteristic of note is the portal through which it is reached – the wardrobe. By connecting the secondary world with the first, ‘real' one, rather than simply beginning the story within Narnia, Lewis is able to introduce thoughts about truth and
