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…

The Story of Narwhals Once upon a time there was a unicorn named Calvin. Why he was named Calvin, don’t ask me. Maybe his parents liked that name. Maybe they didn’t. But that is irrelevant. The point is, Calvin liked long walks along the ocean. Why he liked long walks along the ocean, don’t ask me. Maybe they were nice, relaxing ways to clear his head. Maybe they weren’t. But that is irrelevant. One morning, he was walking alongside the shore he saw a manatee. That’s it. That night he was on…

Narnia English Creative The reigns slice through my withered fingertips like sawing razor blades as I guide the Witch’s sleigh through the darkness of Narnia to return to her castle. In her realm of power she reclines in the sleigh and sways her wand as a reminder to abide by her commandments or be cast into stone. Narnia is silent; just the sound of the bears heaving the Witch’s sleigh through the snow, the creatures lock themselves away in the safety of their homes. A procedure I too used to…

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…
