Harry Potter Vs. CS Lewis

The Murder of Emmett Till is an incredible documentary about the harsh reality of life for African Americans in the U.S. in the 1950’s. The documentary does an amazing job of shedding light unto this terrible period of American history by showing it’s audience a very graphic example of this time period’s prejudice against African America. The Murder of Emmett Till focusses on a case in 1955 in which a 14-year-old African American boy was ruthlessly murdered for supposedly flirting with a white woman. The documentary has an incredibly powerful way of getting its message to the audience, by harnessing raw emotions. It gives the audience a series of short video clips and photos from the time period and the case itself, successfully integrates

Hobbit and many other widely famous nonfiction books are successful not just because of an

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

The film pulled away profit from movies like BFG and Tarzan. Domestically, the movie made $485,203,581. Internationally, the movie has made $526,300,000 and worldwide $1,011,503,581.  The production budget for the film was 200 Million.

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”.

The storyline of his novel not only presents a captivating fantasy, but also displays themes of Christianity through various characters. C.S. Lewis was inspired to write this book through his own imagination. “An image popped into his mind of a faun-a mythical creature with parcels in a snowy wood” (Kirk 6). “The series, which describes the conflicts between good and evil that occur in the kingdom of Narnia, is unified by Aslan, a noble lion, which is the form in which the Son of God usually appears in Narnia” (“C.S. Lewis”). The Chronicles of Narnia series was not instantly famous because of its religious aspect, but later on the book gradually became one of the most popular novels ever read.

Lewis is a very interesting book it's a fairy tale that he has these different magnificent creatures. In the last days of Narnia sets a somber tone for the remainder of the story. King Tirian is now ruling Narnia after the the events of the Silver Chair and a talking ape named Shift and his friend Puzzle that team up to make the donkey look like Aslan using a lion skin and convinces the group of animals to do his every wish. When Lewis wrote this book it ensure that no future stories about Narnia can be written in Lewis universe. The Last Battle is a great conclusion to the Narnia Chronicles.

Emigrating to the United States has affected where I am today. Moving abroad is the starting point to understanding who I was and who I have grown to be. My life before being part of an innovative nation, I was born to believe that women were only created to raise a family, cook, clean, and keep their heads down. No one ever mentioned that I could conquer any challenges that came my way or how I carried a voice within me that could influence the lives around me. The novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie brushes on different scenarios where she also encounters gender discrimination during her time in Lagos, Nigeria.

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.

Let’s look at all the different types of books: Fiction or Non-fiction. Then we can go even

In his essay On the Three Ways of Writing for Children, Lewis describes three ways he feels writers use when writing children’s literature. The first he describes as, “ ‘giving the public what it wants.’ Children are, of course, a special public and you find out what they want and give them that, however little you like it yourself.” Writing a children’s story for the sake of writing a children’s story. It’s written strictly for the purpose of selling to a specified audience. You give them what you think they want even if you don’t agree or like what you are writing. The second way Lewis describes as, ““The printed story grows out of a story told to a particular child with the living voice and perhaps ex tempore.”. We know from Lewis himself that Prince Caspian was not written out of a story he told to a child; he wrote this book as part of a series of books based around the Pevensie children, who discover a mysterious and magical land in the back of a wardrobe (Prince Caspian is the second in a series of seven books). Lewis advocates for writing not to impress, but for expression. He does not write children’s books

There are many debates about which is better, Harry Potter or The Lord of The Rings. I found some over the movies and some over the books but a lot of arguing, debating, and disagreements. I saw good reasoning and some not so much but The Lord of The Rings is more popular from all the information that I saw. Personally I think The Lord of The Rings is better that Harry Potter and more amusing. The only thing I would like more about the Harry Potter series is that the magic and special affects are better but that's it. There a lot of different websites that debate this subject and argue but I haven't found any conclusions over this subject. The closest things I found was percentage bars and pie charts. But overall I saw that The Lord of The

There are three striking similarities between J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings universe and J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter world. Firstly, both stories have similar beginnings. Harry Potter is an orphaned child living with his aunt (and uncle) until his 11th birthday when a very tall wizard comes and tells him that he is a wizard and invites him to Hogwarts. As for The Lord of the Rings, Frodo, an orphan, is told about the upcoming adventures on his birthday. Next similarity is that heroes in both stories defeat trolls. Harry, Ron, and Hermione defeat a troll during their first year at Hogwarts. In similar fashion to Harry Potter, the Fellowship defeats a cave troll in the very first film. Finally, The major similarity between two fantasies

Narnia's first characteristic of note is the portal through which it is reached – the wardrobe. By connecting the secondary world with the first, ‘real' one, rather than simply beginning the story within Narnia, Lewis is able to introduce thoughts about truth and

The American instinct when it comes to education is that it is the path to escape poverty for the middle class. As reasonable as that sounds, it is not the reality that students in poor school districts are receiving. These schools are persistently failing in helping students succeed and this puts them at greater risk of failing or dropping out. Attention and basic necessities are what is needed to start improving these schools and their students. Poor schools and people whose children attend these schools, need to be taken into consideration in knowing what is needed to make them succeed.
