it with British literature How from a relatively small pool of population can such creative writers emerge I don't like CS Lewis's non fiction books but here he knocked the ball out of the parkAslan whose antics and decision making and beliefs are difficult to map is the way by which the children triumph If Alice in Wonderland was positively secular TLTWaTW is heavily defined by the Christian mythosThere are many shining examples of pause to let the tension play out before a little of the adventure is revealed Curiously along with wonder it is with the realization that I read this book It's very much Anglo Saxon in nature yet it lends itself to translation so easily It's a book that does not belong to any age decade or era It's a little wonder of writing The figures agree with me This book is apparently one of the topbestselling books of all time If you've ever wondered which literary world would be the best to live in wonder no longer cause there's a BookTube Video to answer that The Written One day you will be old enough to start reading fairytales again It's like CS Lewis was speaking to me I never read these as a child but now that I'm in my mid twenties I'm feeling the urge to visit all those childhood classics I never read And I'm so glad I did Peter did not feel very brave indeed he felt he was going to be sick But that made no difference to what he had to do Four siblings on a rainy day play hide and seek The youngest discovers an incredible secret in the back of the old wardrobe in their uncle's house After a fair amount of convincing she and her three siblings set out to explore and are soon whisked into the land of Narnia Narnia It's all in the wardrobe just like I told you Could you imagine a magical world I've watched the movie as a kid but reading the book It'sbetter The amazing characters from Mr Tumnus to the White ueen just tie this story together UnforgettableAudiobook CommentsRead by Michael York and this was a pleasure to listen to I felt like a little kid being read toYouTube Blog Instagram Twitter Snapchat mirandareads Happy Reading Teachers, these timesaving student packets feature multiplelevel reproducibles for direct student use.
Included are activity sheets, quizzes, vocabulary activities, unit tests and much more for an indepth study of the story, This is NOT the paperback novel, This is the first book where I chronicled my thoughts as I read through it with my son I don't know how easy it is for y'all to access the record of those here on Goodreads but if you're looking for a detailed account of my thoughts on the book you can look thereI'll say this I've read a lot of books to my little boy these last couple years and I can honestly say that This book is among the best Good tight writing good description Good action Also there's not a lot of dead space or trashy empty dialogue that just seems to be there to take up space That's become a particular peeve lately And when you're reading a book aloud it becomes really obvious The British slang will be a stumbling block to some But it's not too bad And there were a few slight pieces of sexism that I ignored skipped over or re worded
on the fly But honestly this book was writtenyears ago and you need to cut it a little slack because of that And in my opinion it only needs a little slack Truth be told I've read books written this year that have ten times the sexism this one does Also I'd like to make it clear that this is the FIRST book of the Narnia Chronicles This is where you start the series I'm sorry if you read them in the wrong order but if you did it's better than you admit it now come to grips and move on with your life knowing the truth “If ever they remembered their life in this world it was as one remembers a dream” The real world is boring its mundane unimaginative and dry So humans create fantasy as a means of escape We watch movies or go to the theatre to see something interesting than the standard realities of the everyday We paint pictures and gaze up at the We play video games and roleplay We dream Authors like CS Lewis and JK Rowling show us this miserable world they show us its tones of grey Then underneath it all they reveal something spectacular they reveal fantasy So we have four rather ordinary children about to embark on an extraordinary adventure As a child I used to always daydream Ive always been somewhat introverted and would prefer imagining faraway places than existing in the now I still do this as an adult And this is why I love fantasy so much because it is so immersive it literally takes my mind away Lucy Susan Edward and Peter are the lucky ones When they stumble across the wardrobe the gateway into a interesting realm they experience something spectacular “She did not shut it properly because she knew that it is very silly to shut oneself into a wardrobe even if it is not a magic one” Sure theres a war going on And certainly theres an evil witch going around murdering people But for me thatd be a price worth paying For in Narnia there is also Aslan and a whole bunch of interesting characters There is hope magic and companionship The wise old Aslan though is the star of the show He sacrifices himself for his friends for his people Though one issue I have with the book and one that makes me very much aware of the text as a construct is the uestions over why Aslan actually needed to the four children He pretty much deals with the problems by himself Theres prophecy involved but on a plot level he clearly could have sorted this mess out without any outside interference Ive seen a lot of hate over these books because of the Christian allegories involved in the storytelling Now I find this somewhat stupid Im not a Christian far from it but you cant really criticise a book because of this Its incredibly naïve It would be like judging Jane Eyre based on its feminism aspects or Shakespeares exploration of colonialism in The Tempest Its silly This book is undeniable full of Christian dogmatism But its what the author wanted it to be If you read Tolkiens work there are so many allusions the world wars this doesnt affect the overall storytelling Its simply what is there Read this with an open mind as an English Literature student I read the bible I dont believe the words inside but I can still enjoy the experience And this story is no different Take it for what it is “Wrong will be right when Aslan comes in sightAt the sound of his roar sorrows will be no When he bares his teeth winter meets its deathAnd when he shakes his mane we shall have spring again” And thats something special I do however much prefer the works of Tolkien I feel that his writing is universal in terms of age audience With this though Im very much aware of it as a childrens book The prose is designed to sound like a childrens bedtime story in places Thats not exactly a bad thing though I love Narnia but I can at least from my perspective objectively say that Tolkien was a better writer Though what Narnia does have is Aslan Its hard not to Aslan Wouldnt it be just wonderful if he met Gandalf Could you imagine the stories those two could share I'm dreaming againFacebook Twitter Insta Academia What are you doing on that wardrobe Narnia BusinessI read this book as a book challenge and adored it I had not read this book before and did not know of its existence as a child I would have loved it even then I imagine Four English children removed from London for their safety during WWII are sent to a country manor to live with a professor Lucy is the first to enter the wardrobe and be transported into the secret world of Narnia There she meets a talking faun who eventually warns her about the white witch who keeps Narnia in a constant state of winter A humans presence in Narnia is threatening to her and the animals are under orders to inform her at once Once back home she informs her siblings who do not believe her until they too eventually enter the wardrobe and the world of NarniaNarnia is full of talking animals magic and the loathsome witch who turns animals into stone statues if they do not do as she pleases With the help of a Beaver couple they escape in time and get to meet Aslan who teaches them true bravery sacrifice and teamworkThis is a great fantasy book for both children and adults alike Suspension of belief and a desire for entertainment is all one needs to enjoy this book The illustrations are precious and go perfectly with the story.
