Edmund's use of the Turkish Delight might likewise be a reference to the transgression of Adam and Eve, when they ate from the Tree of Knowledge.…

    Based on the what was learned about trust in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, trust is the most basic trait needed in everyday life. Without it, things cannot set into motion. Aslan is portrayed as a great ruler of Narnia, kind and merciful, just as lions were known to be in medieval folklore. He is trusted by the inhabitants of Narnia to lead them out of the Witch’s evil rule. The fact that C.S. Lewis was expressing his opinions and showing the value of trust in the story through the characters is shown in my interpretation of the several events in the…

    Devastating, heartbreaking, unforgettable and deeply moving as described by various paper companies but inspiring, masterpiece and painful would be my discrimination for an enthralling biography like The Kite Runner. Presented to the readers where the feelings, experiences and actions are flowing and connecting to the readers in a way, engaging them to read every single word of the biography of Khaled Hosseini as they are experiencing it themselves. Set in three (3) countries Afghanistan, Pakistan and America as the character name Amir and his father flee to Pakistan and then to America due to the Russian invasion, but fate brings him back to his home country in search of a brother he never knew he had, named Hassan. Hassan was an extraordinary person and so much loyal to Amir as he was described by the writer as “Hassan’s first spoken word was Amir’s name” to show the level of loyalty Hassan had for Amir, but what he finds in his home country changes his whole life.…
