The Martian Chronicles

As a Christian we can learn from C.S. Lewis’ character the evil witch is like the devil. She tries to get you fall for the smallest things that can become big and affect your faith life.

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…

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.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe as an Allegory The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, written by C.S. Lewis, is filled with symbolism and mythological influences, both Christian and non-Christian. These influences manifest themselves in the forms of allusions and parallels. C.S.

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…
