The art form that I find captures my emotion the most would have to be a novel (literature). It was a close choice to me. While I love visual art, like photography and painting, I find a good novel to be completely captivating. I have loved to read since I was a child.

Lucy finds a room that has a big wardrobe in it. Lucy starts walking through the wardrobe and when she gets there Lucy meets a red goat like human with horns and a tail. At first I thought Mr. Tumnus represented the devil but later in the book a woman also known as white witch tempted Edmund with food and turned him into somebody that will turn their family in for royalty or more food. PG. 39 “Probably the Queen knew quite well what he was thinking;for she knew, though Edmund did not, that this was enchanted Turkish Delight and that anyone who had once tasted it would want more and more of it, and would even, if they were allowed, go on eating it till they killed themselves.” Another religious part of the book is that all the characters from

Animals and human together help to convey moral messages for the readers. In The Lion, the witch and the Wardrobe, Edmund's attitude towards the White Witch can give young readers the message “not to trust strangers even if they offer candies”.
