Influence On C. S. Lewis

Every person experiences specific points in their life that shapes who they are. This can be exhibited in the book March. Throughout the book the life events of John Lewis are displayed and it is clear to see that these events changed him. Even though many of the events in his life may have changed John Lewis, the turning points in John Lewis' life helped make him a more inspired man and more influential in the civil rights movement. John Lewis receives a bible, goes on to be inspired by MLK’s speech, gets arrested for his protests, and stops going home to his family as much all of which motivated him to help and support the civil rights movement.

Everyone has turning points during his or her life, some of them change our mind, and some others change our life. In this essay I will be writing about an African American named John Lewis, he was born and raised in the State of Alabama and had several turning points during his life, some of them happened during his childhood and others as an adult. Many turning points are remarkable and well known by the society who has read about him, but some others are hidden somewhere and not too many people talk about them and how it influenced him, nevertheless all of them helped him to create his character and becoming the person who he wanted to become. For example, since almost killing one of his precious chickens trying to baptize it (because he

In the book March: Book One and Two, the main character John Lewis takes part in the civil rights movement in 1960’s. While it's true that many events in his life did not increase his devotion to the civil rights movement and religious beliefs, I believe that John Lewis's beliefs and determination were reinforced by the turning points in his life. I believe the gift of his bible helped him grow stronger in religion, which helped him bring a sense of connection to the civil rights movement through Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s words. Through that he started going to nonviolent workshops where he learned more about nonviolent protests, which started him on the road to joining the civil rights movement. This eventually pushed him to join the freedom riders.

Everyone in their life experiences a state of hopelessness. Whether it is a big or a small occurrence; it helps us shape up mentally or physically ready for the real world. In March, Lewis talks about the events in his life that we classify as his turning points which caused them to turn their life around. It is true that many events did not increase his will to protest. I think that John Lewis' life was changed by his turning points, there are four turning points what continues to affect him to this day. The four turning points that stand out are his first arrest, Lewis' trip to Buffalo with his Uncle Otis, Dr. King's speech, and when he decided to join the Freedom Riders.

What is the point, many people ask? In C.S. Lewis’ book called The Weight of Glory a chapter called “Learning in War-Time” helps shed light on what Lewis thinks about purpose. Even though World War two is in the past many people still ask this question. Education is a very important thing to have, not only from a jobs perspective but also that the more you know, the better off you are. So, what is the use of beginning a task we have so little chance of finishing? Three ways not only christians but all people struggle with doing anything past high school are fear, excitement and frustration.

Although there are many turning points in John Lewis’ life. I will be discussing three of his turning points. These turning points are important because it helped him become resilient, determined, and gave him ways to elaborate on an issue that arose during that time which was Civil Rights. His first turning point was at age four when he got his first bible. The second turning point was when he was inspired by Martin Luther King’s speech on the Social Gospel and his view on Civil Rights. John Lewis’ attendance at Jim Lawson’s workshops about non-violent protesting was his third turning point.

As a child John Lewis, speaker, Civil Rights activist, and Congressman, was very dream driven and cared greatly about the Word of God and, oddly enough, chickens. In the trilogy March, written by John Lewis and Andrew Aydin, and illustrated by Nate Powell, it is shown how Lewis, as he grew older was no longer dream driven but was purpose driven. The trilogy shows how, as he grew up, he discovered that he had things to fight for, an example being the Civil Rights movement. Also he would unearth the life values that he would live by, and would come to trust God more and more. The question is, what changed him?

Gilbert Newton Lewis was a prominent American physical chemist. He was born on October 23, 1875, in Weymouth, Massachusetts. His father was Frank Wesley Lewis and his mother was Mary Burr White Lewis. In 1884 his family moved from Weymouth to Lincoln, Nebraska. There he spent most of his childhood and was homeschooled by his parents through the English tutoring system until the age of 14, which was when he began attending the University of Nebraska in Lincoln (LeMaster & McGann, n.d.). During his time at the university, he was frequently unsatisfied with the level of education he was being taught. Lewis had shown extreme intelligence ever since his youthful years, and so the subjects he was instructed about were already mastered in Lewis’s knowledge. After two years of

‘The Magician’s Nephew’ is set in England and features two children intertwined in experimental travel through the “wood between the worlds” and explains the origin of foreign elements in Narnia. The story includes several autobiographical elements with general moral and Christian inferences, including indemnification, sin, temptation and the order of nature. It frequently makes use of humor; this perhaps reflects the sense of looking back at an earlier part of the century with affection, and Lewis as a middle-aged man recalling his childhood during those years. Humorous exchanges also take place between Narnian animals.
