The Lion The Witch And The Wardrobe
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is a wonderful example of a fictional fantasy. It is adventurous, full of magic, talking animals, a witch, mythical creatures, and not to mention children entering another world through a wardrobe. The author was very descriptive when talking about what the characters look like, their behaviors, and each setting that the characters were in. So much so that it could be easily pictured by the reader exactly what they characters were doing and their surrounding at that time. For instance, at one point three of children were traveling with Mr. and Mrs. Beaver to the stone table and they entered into a small cave like hole and the description led me to picture the five packed into a small area like sardines

    The book The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis, takes place in Narnia. Narnia is a land of talking animals. This story appeals to a younger audience, since they are interested in animals and magical creatures. One of the main characters, Aslan, is the lion who rules Narnia. According to the passage, Aslan is a type of god-like figure because of his long life, immense power, and benevolence. It is very fascinating to note that, when they hear Aslan's name, the children recognize his power, but also become more themselves. The physical form of the lion does not matter. The author uses a lion because a child associates a lion as being scary, but in the story the lion is kind and brave. Aslan's characteristics alter the young readers…

    C.S. Lewis’s “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” can be seen as a spiritual allegory. The entire book has either subtle or somewhat blatant references to Christianity, and other religions. With references to Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection, Adam and Eve; it is pretty clear that Lewis intended his novel to parallel with Christian themes. But also having some elements of Paganism, Lewis portrays elements of the natural world and respecting it, much like how in the Pagan religion is about worshiping nature. Lewis also integrates the themes of betrayal, and compassion and courage into the plot and the characters of the novel. Though each character may not have a direct reference to Christian themes or other religious doctrines, the…

    In Clive Staples Lewis early life he was an atheist. He was distraught over the passing of his mother. Lewis was eventually converted to Christianity by some of his friends; shortly thereafter he began writing The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Christianity played a big role, as the story is an obvious allegory for the Bible. Christianity is well-rooted throughout the novel in the hero, who represents Jesus, and the stone table, which represents the cross.…

    “All stories consist of a few common structural elements found universally in myths, fairy tales, dreams and movies” stated screenwriter Christopher Volger (“The Writers Journey”). The traditional hero quest plotline is seen anywhere from old Greek myths to the blockbuster films of today. All hero quests have the same set of steps; some are harder to define then others. The steps of the hero quest include; the call, the threshold, the descent, trials and ordeals, the abyss, transformation, atonement and finally the return. The call is the first step in a traditional hero quest. The Call invites the Initiate into the adventure (Thompson and Harris). Before the call the Initiate has no intention of being called to something bigger. The Initiate may feel that something is missing in life, and during the call the Initiate may refuse it; eventually to revoke that decision and go to the world of adventure (Thompson and Harris). The threshold is the point when the Initiate leaves the known to enter the unknown. It is the “jumping off point” between everyday life and adventure (Thompson and Harris). The Initiate may go unwillingly or willingly to adventure. This is also the step where the Initiate may inherit or find a mentor. The descent is not literally descending into something, but going deeper and deeper into the unknown (Thompson and Harris).…

    We all grew up hoping to be the princesses who met the dreamy prince and lived ‘happily ever after’ like in a fairy tale. People debate over whether or not Disney fairytales are beneficial for children. Like Arielle Schussler the author of the piece “A case against fairytales”,I am against fairy tales. In this essay I will argue on why kids should not be taught Disney or original fairy tales.…

    "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" is a satiric comedy about the quest of King Arthur. The movie starts out with Arthur, King of the Britons, looking for knights to sit with him at Camelot. He finds many knights including Sir Galahad the pure, Sir Lancelot the brave, the quiet Sir Bedevere, and Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-as-Sir Lancelot. Through satire and parody of certain events in history (witch trials, the black plague) they find Camelot, but after literally a quick song and dance they decide that they do not want to go there. While walking away, God (who seems to be grumpy) come to them from a cloud and tells them to find the Holy Grail. They agree and begin their search. While they search for the Grail, scenes of the knight's tales appear and the reasons behind their names. Throughout their search, they meet interesting people and knights along the way. Most of the characters die; some through a killer rabbit (which they defeat with the holy hand grenade), others from not answering a question right from the bridge of Death, or die some other ridiculous way. In the end, King Arthur and Sir Bedevere are left and find the Castle Arrrghhh where the Holy Grail is. They are met by some French soldiers who taunted them earlier in the film and were not able to get into the castle. The movie ends with both King Arthur and Sir Bedevere being arrested for killing a real-life man who was a historian.…

    The relationship between Tod and Copper was like the relationship between black and white kids in the 1970s. Whilst their parents would be against it, they see no harm in playing with each other. People are expected to conform to their roles they have in society. I chose this particular movie because not only is it a classic, but it is a very deep movie with adult themes. The mix of characters, each different and pursuing a different goal, combined with as subtle mix of themes, makes this a winner. The Fox and the Hound is about society and the roles we are expected to conform to.…

    The Lion King was, and still is, one of Disney’s greatest movies ever made. First released in 1994 it was an instant hit. What many people don’t know though is that it was based off another story written a long time before it. This story is Shakespeare’s Hamlet. As I compare the two stories you will notice many similarities between them.…

    “The Lion King” (A): The $2 Billion Movie” is a case describing the transformation that Disney underwent after being taken over by Michael Eisner and the subsequent release of “The Lion King.” Prior to the appointment of Eisner as CEO underperforming both creatively and financially, with critics claiming Disney was failing to innovate and move with the times, and financial analysts taking the company off their stock-to-buy lists due to a dip in share prices. Eisner was able to reinvent and restructure the company by implementing various different managerial ideologies and business models, to which the success of the “The Lion King,” one of the largest grossing movies of all time, is a testament.…

    Despite The Fox and the Hound’s happy ending, it could still be viewed as a warning to people who are, or are wanting to, form relationships between themselves and a different class. The portrayal of the risks that Todd has to endure after he is released in to the wild imply danger and rejection for those of a lower social standing when attempting to build a bridge between themselves and those considered above them. The negative connotations of these moments, such as Copper snarling and growling at Todd, having been taught to turn on his friend, are just as relevant as the positives. Although the story ultimately reunites the two as allies with a civil relationship, it is clear that their friendship will never be the same again. This emphasises…
