    Unquestionably in this case that The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe particularly concentrates on greediness. Edmund's plunge into the Witch's administration starts amid his mad utilization of the enchantment Turkish Delight. Since this is the charmed Turkish Delight, Edmund can't be considered responsible for his intemperance as though he were overindulging in standard treat. The genuine sin happens when Edmund permits himself to focus on the Turkish Delight long after he leaves the Witch. 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.…

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…

    In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Dumbledore says, “One can never have enough socks.” Socks, such commonplace things that no one really notices them until they are gone and no one seems to ever have enough. No one knows where they go when they inevitably disappear. Socks are metaphors for the little things in our life that we barely notice and only miss when they’re gone, maybe forever. Maybe it’s the stranger that smiles at you when you walk by, maybe it’s the piece of art that has always hung in that one spot on that one wall, and maybe it’s the little things that you don’t really notice until they disappear or stop.…

There were several women singled out in the community because of the color of their skin, lack of attendance at church, and begging for food. All of them had one thing in common; they were outcasts in the community and this allowed them to be easy prey in a patriarchal society heavily based in religion and supernatural beliefs. The local government acted by arresting everyone that fit the “witch” profile.…

The sisters were correcting Mirabella for her bad behavior when Sister Maria de la Guardia said ‘Why can’t you be more like you sister Jeanette?’ The pack hated Jeanette. She was the most successful of us, the one furthest removed from her origins" (Russell 232).…
