The Chronicles of Narnia

core reason to the heavy Christian undertone is the character, Aslan. Lewis designed Aslan, an allegorical representation of Jesus, as one who rules over Narnia, instills fear and respect within all the people. When Mr. Beaver speaks of the great lion, “[the] children felt something jump in [their] inside” (74). When Edmund betrays the people of Narnia, Aslan sacrifices his life to spare him mimicking how Jesus sacrificed himself for the people’s sin. Aslan, mirroring Jesus, is also resurrected.…

The Imposter (2012, Bart Layton) is a stimulating documentary that expresses the account of Frédéric Bourdin, a 23 year old man from Spain, who was deprived of a joyous childhood, and allocates his time to stealing the identity of minors, including Nicholas Barclay, a 13 year old boy, who disappeared in 1994. Frédéric Bourdin successfully swindles Nicholas’ family into undoubtedly believing he is their missing teenage boy, despite Frédéric appearing entirely different from Nicholas and having a…

The Book The Goats by Brock Cole is a book about two kids who get pranked by getting striped down on a island and is not fit for kids and should be banned for all kids k-12. The book is inappropriate for students k-12 because it has descriptive inappropriate scenes. The book could affect the thoughts and actions of kids at a younger age.Others may try to argue that there is really only one bad part of the book. The book has a good storyline but no educational value and should not be read by kids…

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…

“She is a perfectly terrible person, said Lucy. 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 gets to Christmas.” (Lewis 42). Effectively, she holds in fear everyone in Narnia. If they don’t do what she commends them to do, she turns them into…

The book I chose for my book talk is “The Amulet of Samarkand”. This story takes place in a modern-day magician's society in London, England. Nathaniel, an incredibly talented magician's apprentice lives with his master, Arthur Underwood, and spends his days locked inside, studying and immersing himself in the arts of magic. However, unbeknownst to his master, Nathaniel has already summoned a significantly powerful 5000-year-old demon by the name of Bartimaeus. For the sole purpose of revenge…

The Chronicles of Narnia book series, for years, has been under the watchful eye of Christians and Non-Christians alike in search of Biblical parallels. There are the more obvious parallels: Aslan’s death on the Stone Table in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe/Jesus’ death on the cross, the Rapture/the end of Old Narnia in The Last Battle, and the two creation stories found in Genesis/The Magician’s Nephew. However, there are far more subtle Biblical parallels that Lewis himself might not…

The book The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe was written by C. S. Lewis in 1949. The setting of the book is in the country of England during World War II, and the main characters are Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy. Because the children were living in London during the war, they were sent to the countryside of England. The house that they move into is owned by an old professor and resembles a castle. The book enters into its full splendor when Lucy, the youngest child,…

C.S. Lewis, a world-renowned author, has wrote hundreds of novels throughout his career. Many of these novels are thought to be inspiring in a Catholic sense because of Lewis’ religious background. Specifically, in Perelandra, one of his greatest works, Lewis’ incorporates many Catholic themes and traditions into his novel; one of which themes references the story of the Garden of Eve. Moreover, the two main characters in Perelandra, Elwin Ransom and the Un-Man, could possibly resemble Adam and…
