When comparing my personality with each of the Pevensie children, I find I have something in common with each child. I would like to say that I am as responsible and courageous as Peter, but I am not nearly as direct or charismatic. In some way, I can say I am rational and caring like Susan, yet I trust my intuition over reason. I could also find similarities between Edmund and me in that I am quiet and have a difficult time with change. However, unlike Edmund, I have a strong inside moral compass and I don’t try to rationalize making the wrong decision. Out of all the Pevensie children, the most part of me is as lively, curious, sensitive and faithful as Lucy. Like Lucy, I am honest and I fight for what I believe I know to be true. Just as

After the great battle, Lucy had found that her brother Edmund had been slain. She ran to his side and administered some of her elixir to him. She then stayed and waited to see if he would become better. At this point, Aslan had to strongly encourage her to help all the others in need of health. Reluctantly, she obeyed because she believed in Aslan when he encouraged her to do the right thing. To give another example of her faith, throughout the entirety of the story, Lucy is the only child with the strong belief in Narnia. This belief helped her to remain strong in truth and therefore provided her courage. In one point, when Father Christmas was handing out weapons and informed Lucy she was not to be in battle, Lucy objected by stating ““I think— I don’t know— but I think I could be brave enough”(p. 109). Lucy had enough courage to be willing to fight for the cause. Similarly, I have had moments in my life that I entered seemingly fearless into a situation, but it was only due to faith. Recently, my sister had been diagnosed with breast cancer. She had found out that she had a gene for which I also needed to be tested. I immediately made the appointment. When asked if I was scared or worried, I replied that I truly was not. I had a faith that I didn’t have the same gene. Afterward, the test results proved me correct. In another example, I currently work in a high crime rate neighborhood. During my breaks, when my co-workers can’t walk with me, I walk alone. Last winter, when it became dark outside by the time I needed to leave, I would walk to my vehicle alone. My co-workers and supervisor jokingly asked if I knew kung-fu. I honestly replied that I did not fear walking alone. Deep inside, I have faith that if God intends me to be safe, He will keep me
