Like most movies based on novels, there are some major differences between the written and the theatrical versions of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

C.S. Lewis's story, the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe has many movies and a book about it. Not all of them are exactly alike the other but they have many similarities. The book and the newest movie is probably the closest to each other

Being scared: As you are sent away while you 're young to a mysterious place with no memories of the past. Most things in life cost something, sadly, and in the Gladers case, sometimes the cost they are making is someone 's life. Throughout the story there are examples of people risking their life in order to benefit everyone and the best that can come. Sometimes there are selfish motivations, and sometimes there isn’t, but it 's pretty bad when an innocent person has to die. In the book ”The Maze Runner” by James Dashner, the definition of being scared applies to Thomas as he is being sent away from his family and life to a place called the Glade, through an underground elevator, without any memories of the past. In the book “The Maze

The Chronicles of Narnia are veritably the most popular writings of C.S. Lewis. They are known as children’s fantasy literature, and have found favor in older students and adults alike, even many Christian theologians enjoy these stories from Lewis; for there are many spiritual truths that one can gleam from them, if familiar with the Bible. However, having said this, it is noteworthy to say that Lewis did not scribe these Chronicles for allegorical didactics of the Christian faith, but wrote them in such a well-knit fashion that young readers might understand Christian doctrine through captivating fantasy and thus gain an appreciation for it. With this in mind, and in the interest of this assignment, the purpose of this paper is an

C.S. Lewis is immensely critical of the education system and this is a common theme throughout his work. He explores the failings of education through a Christian moral and ethical lens. By criticizing the lack of logic and emotional intelligence being taught in traditional education, he reveals to his readers the flaws in their thinking and seeks to undo the spiritual damage through his work. His novels provide the reader with emotional experiences that allow for the difficult ideas he espouses such as morality, the nature of the soul, sacrifices, and the afterlife, to feel more tangible and real.

In their article, “Cinderfella: J.K. Rowling’s Wily Web of Gender”, Gallardo and Smith argue that “by offering a proactive feminist interpretation” they will show that “there are alternative radical readings of the series for both children and adults” (191). They use several criteria to prove their point by showing that the story of the hero Harry Potter is a “cyclical” feminine narrative (191). They show this by presenting that the plot moves from a “passive” and difficult home life into the “active” world of Hogwarts and back again repeatedly (191). This format is used in strictly traditional “girl tales” such as the historic story of the heroine Cinderella which has been retold in over 700 versions (195).

Authors use literary devices as tools throughout their novels, each in a variety of situations, serving various purposes. One of C.S Lewis ' notable attributes was his consistent use of religion throughout his work. Which thus begs the question: What is the literary function of religious allegory in the novel, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, by C.S Lewis?

The Grimm brothers, in their short story, “Hansel and Gretel”, illuminate the idea of vulnerability, innocence, and determination through two children’s eyes, and how in time, they become who they need to be in order to overcome their obstacle. The two words, “vulnerability” and “innocence” are known adjectives when one thinks of a child, thus fitting almost perfectly when describing Hansel and Gretel. With these natural childlike traits instilled within the two, they have no choice but to become dependent upon one another. These two brothers have constructed a great deal of imagery throughout the story which represents the innocence of a child. The authors develop symbolism throughout the story which in return, helps support my thesis. Unless one takes a closer look within the text, they just might overlook what it actually represents. There is a great use of diction throughout this short story which simply helps describe the two children, Hansel and Gretel. “The white pebbles…glistening like silver coins” is a complete depiction of a young child (Grimm 15). White as we all know represents purity, and the comparison of the pebbles to silver coins creates represents a childlike view of excitement and innocence. This excitement and vivid imagination of Hansel occurs just in time after overhearing the parents plan. There’s a white(purity) cat that the boy mentions when leaving home. Both objects are white, the pebbles and the cat. These two things also represent hope that the

Once there was a kid that was not like the other kids. He had powers. He was nice, but not all the kids thought so. He could make thing blow up if he was mad. It depended on his emotion.

In Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Hound of the Baskervilles, Doyle delineates on the theme of ‘appearances can be deceiving’ by pursuing the idea that people should investigate people and their relationships before coming to their final conclusions about them. This is demonstrated in The Hound of the Baskervilles when Doyle shows how people can use other people to deceive people, people can manipulate others with sheer charm, and that people can easily lie about themselves.

J. K. Rowling, along with many other modern fantasy authors, owes a great deal to Dante in the formulation of her best-selling series. Though the subject matter she undertakes—a magical world of witchcraft and wizardry—would have, in Dante’s eyes, landed her in the eighth circle of the Inferno, fourth pouch, Rowling would arguably have been unable to create the magical universe of Harry Potter without immense inspiration from The Divine Comedy. In an overly simplistic picture, Voldemort might be thought of as a representation of Satan, arrogantly believing that he has the power to conquer the whole wizarding community, let alone the entire world, with his magical faculties. Indeed, similar to Satan, Voldemort exemplifies the damning qualities of greed, wrath, violence, deceit, and betrayal every step of the way on his path to power.
