I recently finished reading the book Isle of the Lost. It is a fiction novel written by Melissa De La Cruz. The protagonist, Mal, is the daughter of villainous Maleficent, who is thee unelected leader of the Isle of the Lost. The Isle of the Lost is the island where all the villians of Disney tales go to be imprisoned forever. When Evie, the daughter of the Evil Queen, doesn’t invite Msl to her sixth birthday party, Mal tells her mother, who as the leader, gives the Evil Queen and Evie and banishment

The Magician’s Nephew is the first book in the Chronicles of Narnia series, which is written by Clive Staples Lewis, or C.S. Lewis. This book is all about the creation of Narnia. C.S. Lewis was a Christian author, and many of his books are somewhat religious. In The Magician’s Nephew, there is a character named Aslan. Aslan is a lion that created Narnia. Lewis intended for Aslan to basically be God to the creatures of Narnia. There is much to summarize about this tremendous book, but I will only

The Magician's Nephew, the introduction to the Chronicles of Narnia integrates one of the common components in all high fantasy novels, the battle of good versus evil. Creation and destruction are two entities necessary for the continuation of life, one cannot be without the other. The two characters that are the embodiment of this theme are Aslan, the true king and creator of the world Narnia against Jadis, the annihilator of the world Charn and it's citizens. Digory and Polly are the dynamic duo

The story,”The Secret Lion,” is written in the perspective of a junior high boy out in the real world. Throughout the passage, something is taken away from the two boys repeatedly whether it is the grinding ball or the golf course. The “something” taken away from them repeatedly could interpret to their childhood imagination being taken away from them. Reality and time is their enemy in the passage, they are trying to force them to grow up when they desperately do not intend to and instead, keep

In this essay, I will be considering a range of key issues relevant to the adaption process for a specific film adapted from a novel. I have chosen to discuss a book written by C.S. Lewis; The Chronicles Of Narnia, The Lion, The Witch And The Wardrobe which was published in October 1950. It was adapted into a film by Disney in 2005 and directed by Andrew Adamson. Hutcheon writes that, ‘Adaptations are everywhere today: on television and movie screen, on the musical and dramatic stage, on the

Max Simon Mr. McCain Adv. English 9, 5th period 24 August 2015 Of Beetles and Angels by Mawi Asgedom is an autobiography about the journey of Mawi Asgedom. It begins in Asgedom’s hometown of Ethiopia, where he lived during the civil wars that were going on around him and his family. They moved to a Sudanese refugee camp, waiting to be be given a way to come to America. After three years of waiting, immigration offices finally let his family leave Sudan and go to Chicago, Illinois. Though they had

The two significant parallels are clear from the characters and the symbolic situations. Firstly, Aslan parallels God in the analogy of the movie. Christ is referred as the Lion of Judah in Bible (Rev. 5:5 New International Version), where the Witch signifies the Devil, who tempts Edmund into betraying his kin and makes him suffer once he is of no use, like stated in Bible (Heb. 2:18 American Standard Version). Secondly, symbolic situations parallel to the Bible can also be seen. For instance, the

Many people have heard a story about four children that entered into another realm by walking through, what seemed like a simple wardrobe. What many people have not heard of or taken the time to analyze in the story is the significances in the character's lives. Two of the most prominent characters in the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, are, undoubtedly, the Lion, Aslan and the White Witch. In this book, they have both taken their turn ruling over Narnia and now are in a struggle for power over

The World in the Wardrobe “One day, you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again” said by C.S. Lewis. People of all ages enjoy reading magical tales with mythical creatures. The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe, written by C.S. Lewis, is a fictional novel that allows all audiences to explore their imagination. To take a further look into this novel, the world of magic is unearthed and adventures of the mind are explored. Within this book, religious meaning is uncovered in a innovative

I read an imaginative book called The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis. In the book, there are four orphans. There names are Susan, Peter, Edmund and Lucy. They live in a mansion with a very kind homeowner. Lucy is the youngest and Edmund is the second youngest. Therefore, if Lucy says something, the others will most likely not believe it. Edmund is the second youngest. Edmund is very adventurous, and very kindhearted. That is how trouble comes to Edmund. He kindheartedly believes the
