The world has an instinct to search for a higher power. Some people deny the power, but others embrace it. C.S. Lewis was one of many well known authors that wove his beliefs into his writings. Readers of Lewis’ famous children’s series, The Chronicles of Narnia, can see parallel images of the Christian faith, specifically through the character of Aslan.

The growth of interracial relationships coincides with changes in the legality of them and what some would…

The status-caste exchange theory is to marry in terms of desirable traits; a desirable man marries a desirable woman based what she can provide in return (Hou & Myles, 2013). In regards to interracial marriage, the status-caste exchange theory assumes that the skin colour or ethnic origin as the desirable trait. Lighter skin colours are more desirable compared to darker skin colours, so the value of a partner is based on their skin colour or ethnic origin. If their socio-economic statuses were…

1. Entering the theatre, I was exhausted and cranky. I was not looking forward to “6 Rms Riv Vu”. After I had finished reading the play, I was angry. I am very passionate about my hate for any sort of fooling around while in a relationship. From personal experience and countless stories, cheaters are the scum of the Earth. So all the anger and frustration I had from reading the short play, followed me into the small black box theatre. I arrived at around 7:15 PM, the usherette greeted me with a…

She calls herself the Queen of Narnia thought she has no right to be queen at all and […] at least all the good ones—simply hate her. And she can turn people into stone and do all kinds of horrible things. And she has made a magic so that it is always winter in Narnia—always winter, but it never…

be the ruler. As king, it is interesting to note how God described him at various times. For example, in 2 Samuel 3:18, He called him “My servant David.” In 2 Samuel 7:5, he again called him His servant. These terms are repeated in 1 Chronicles 17:4 and 1 Chronicles 17:7. When David turned to God in confession, he described himself as a servant. In each of the above references the term “servant” is from the same Hebrew word “ebed.” As a revered king, no one would have raised any eyebrows if a…

There are Christian undertones throughout all seven of his books and each book refers to a different story or character in the Bible (NarniaWeb). Despite the reoccurring Christian beliefs present in these books, Lewis was not always the believer in Christianity as shown in his writings. His…

fact that we are cultural oppressors to others. We as humans put ourselves and our own culture on a pedestal. If you do not identify as us then you must become one of us or at least rearrange your culture to fit to ours. In the novel, The Martian Chronicles, as well as other nonfiction sources such as Language Chauvinism, and Coca-Cola It's Beautiful the thematic message displayed throughout these sources is that humans expect others to change to fit ourselves and this expectation can lead to…
