notorious killer but evidence from the composition sketch the police drew up doesn't show any resemblance. The police went and had him do handwriting test and his handwriting was not a match. The DNA on the stamp of the letter sent to the San Francisco Chronicle went under test and was not a match to Allen…

This tale was the first book written and published by Lewis in 1950 and when placed in order by chronicle…

Towards the end of World War II, many colonized countries began rebellions against their imperial colonizers and some were successful in gaining independence. Most notably, India, was led by a revolutionist, Mahatma Gandhi, who sought and won the Indian Independence movement in British-ruled India. While the world saw this politically unstable atmosphere of colonized locations gaining their freedom; the populace of these imperial nations found themselves thrust into the ethical foray of granting…

Myth: The Chronicles of Narnia is built around this concept of myth. As most of us read long ago in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, the four children explore their new home and grope their way through a magical wardrobe into the cold, wintery world of Narnia. Here -- as in the ancient myths that had captivated C. S. Lewis' heart -- animals talk, witches bewitch, curses turn flesh into stone, and the veil between physical reality and spiritual fantasies fade away. Myth and truth merge…

Jerusalem. After Aslan’s death, the stone table cracks in half (Friskney, 65), just as when Jesus died “the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The Earth shook, the rocks split” (NIV Bible, Matthew 27:51). In both The Chronicles of Narnia and The Bible, the destruction of these sacred artifacts represent that the barrier between God and man is destroyed. In Narnia, the inhabitants there no longer have to follow the laws of Deep Magic, because Aslan has overcome those…

In comparison, The Anglo Saxon Chronicle states that Edgar only met with six kings, and they “plighted their troth to him, that they would be his fellow workers” but did not row him down the River Dee. However, the fact that in 1117 they thought it was plausible that Edgar could control eight other kings, and was the most powerful in the English kingdom, supports he had a valid claim in history to be the king of all England. It is also from a chronicle, which was meant to accurately portray…

When Lucy stepped through the wardrobe and into Narnia, it changed my life. It was the moment I realized that as difficult as things may seem there is the possibility of magic and something bigger just beyond the door. My life changed at that moment. I had found freedom to be the little girl I was, if only in my imagination. It was more than I had ever known. Screaming and fighting always seemed to be going on at my house. My dad was a heroin addict and Mom was a rage addict. Everyday there…

Manasseh: 2 Kings vs. 2 Chronicles King Manasseh was certainly a memorable king of Judah for those who had read and reread the books of Kings and Chronicles. Both books draw much attention to him, but there can be no doubt that the figure of Manasseh as portrayed in Chronicles was significantly different from the king evoked by the book of Kings. Initially, 2 Chronicles 33 follows closely the accounts of 2 Kings 21. King Manasseh, son of Hezekiah, began his 55-year reign at the age of 12.…

In Narnia, as in the Bible, grace is linked to faith. One cannot acquire forgiveness on their own. His own sin is too great and the divine sovereign is too honest for self-justification. One cannot change themselves either. Sinfulness is to grand to overcome on ones’ own. There are some things only Aslan can do, and the only proper human response to these things is faith. As the Beavers in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe tell Peter, it is no good trying to save Mr. Tumnus from the White…

Introduction Christian themes and metaphors are common in literature because of their universal renown, but depending on how these are used and referenced in the work, they convey different meanings and have different effects on the reader. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis and The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway are two works of literature that use Christian allegories. In Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, four children venture into the magic world of…
