C. S. Lewis's Chronicles Of Narnia

This is highlighted in the photographs of Jewish people suffering in the concentration camps. Post Holocaust era, Jews started to revaluate their religious traditions. They started to question why God had allowed this to happen and where he was when they were suffering. It had taken on the central role in thought of Jewish

The books have Christian themes and describe the adventures of a group of children who visit a magical land called Narnia. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was the first published and the most popular book of the series. Lewis is said to have stated that he wrote the novels when he wondered what it would be like if Jesus Christ was incarnated on another planet or world to save the souls of those inhabitants”.

C. S. Lewis was a brilliant author known for his fictional novels as well as his Christian apologetics works. Religion was a large part of his life, and he utilized such themes throughout his fiction books. The first book in The Chronicles of Narnia series, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, exemplifies such overlap. Lewis inserted fundamental Christian themes into this novel, allowing his religion to influence his work.

In C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Lewis emphasizes the three points of philosophy, themes, and symbolism throughout his writing. Lewis was a strong Christian man, and wanted to make children see and understand all the stories of the Bible. Therefore, he put Christian elements through his books, but with fantasy characters as well. Especially in this story, Lewis conveys the differences between good and evil. Aslan is represented as Christ just as the White Witch represents the sense of evil. Lewis wrote several books in this Narnia series, but The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe became the most famous and recognized of his novels.

Even in the midst of suffering, God is aiming for your ultimate good (Jer. 29:11-13; Rom. 8:28; Gen. 50:20).

For instance Wiesel states, “I was alone. Terribly alone in a world without God.” (Wiesel 68) Terribly, this is how he felt. A world without Go. He's in darkness, he's suffering. Wiesel feels more alone than he's ever felt. From the beginning transitioning to now all faith is gone. One would wonder how could someone with faith so strong lose God? Suffering can make you forget the good. Another example of this is when a man tells Elie Wiesel, “One day he said to me: it's over. God is no longer with us.” (Wiesel 76) Wiesel doesn't believe there can be good anymore, and neither does anyone he's with in these camps. God is good, He is their creator and savior, yet they believe in a God that wouldn't let bad happen. When suffering begins, one's faith starts to

C.S. Lewis wrote The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe because he wanted to write a children’s book “as a gift for his godchild” (Palmer). It began for him with a series of pictures that came into his mind. “Lewis stated, ‘Everything began with images; a faun carrying an umbrella, a queen on a sledge, a magnificent lion” (Kennedy). A fairy tale was forming in his mind and “‘At first there wasn't anything Christian about them; that element pushed itself in of its own accord’” (Kennedy), As the story progresses and Lewis’s characters and storyline begin to develop a seemingly clear relationship formed between The Bible and this novel. “Given Lewis’s strong Christian faith, that is not surprising. In fact, once the story was established, Lewis said he ‘...saw how stories of this kind could steal past a certain inhibition which had paralysed much of my own religion in childhood’” (Kennedy.) Even though C.S. Lewis started off writing a children's novel, many people perceive it to be a novel written in parallel to the Bible. Lewis has used Biblical references and a classic storyline to prove that good will alway triumph over evil. Aslan is labeled as a divine figure in the novel; he is also known as the son of the Emperor-Beyond-the-Sea. Aslan’s death and resurrection is like that of Christ. The four children are all considered important to in the world of Narnia, but in the real world they are

Suffering is an unfortunate normality. However, we can look at it in a new and positive light. The pain from suffering can warn us of danger. Suffering reveals what is in our hearts. Suffering gives opportunity to trust God. In fact, God suffers with us in our suffering, and he comforts us. 2 Corinthians 12:9 says, “My grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness. So now I am glad to boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ can work through me” (Bible, NLT). God can turn our suffering around for our own good, and in times of crisis can allow for us to find each other. “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all

The purpose of this research paper is to compare the public view of suffering in the Old Testament with the public view of suffering in the modern world. In order to properly achieve this comparison, I will explain the relationship between God and His believers in the Old Testament. More specifically, I will elaborate on the opinion that God is the cause of everything, including suffering and relate it to the first poetic book in the Old Testament, the Book of Job. However, influenced by the changes in science, upbringing, and multiculturalism this commonly held view changes. Therefore, I will explain the meaning of each of these three factors as well as their negative impact on religion. Finally, I will use three television shows as examples

Economics is the study of scarcity within a systems of rules. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins’ can be translated into such, with hunger being scarcity and games being a system of rules.

Each district has their own different specializations and they have distinctive economies. The government regulates the trade and each district rely on trade from each other district and the Capitol for the goods they don 't produce. All of the districts and the Capitol is interdependent.

The book series was such a great success that in 2008, the first book was turned into a film.

Torture still happens in some societies around us. With different levels of torture, it is being passed on from generation to generation. It reflects a lot on the connection between people in the community and how a person’s personality is shaped. Between The Hunger Games, “The Lottery,” and “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas,” the three authors all want to argue about how society uses torture to rule the community. Even though the government succeeds in forming an organized society, the connection between people no longer exists. Being selfish or careless wasn’t their natural born quality. The tradition of where they were born has formed their characteristics since they were raised along with it. Without understanding thoroughly about the tradition, they tend to keep passing on the tradition, which is why people in the community do not care about others nor bother to help them.

Lewis talked about how he came to write the books of Narnia, saying that they
