The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe

By: C.S. Lewis

The main characters in this story are Peter, Susan,

Edmund, and Lucy. During a war in London they were sent to a

professor’s house outside London. Lucy, while exploring with her

brothers and sister, found a secret passage through the wardrobe to

Naria,a secret world. In Naria there are other characters. One of

them is the White Witch,also known as the Queen of Naria, who was

like a tyrant. If anyone disobeyed her she turned them to stone.

Another character Aslan, a lion, saved Naria from the rule of the

White Witch. Most of this story takes place in Naria.

The main conflict is how Naria can live under the rule

of the White Witch. The Beavers set out to take Peter, Susan, and

Lucy (not Edmund because he went to the witch ) to the four thrones

so they ( four children united ) can rule over Naria and destroy

the witch. The Beavers and the three children were walking in the

snow because there it was always winter. Although it was always

winter Christmas never arrived. After they awoke the next day they

saw Father Christmas who gave them gifts.Mrs. Beaver received a new

sewing machine. Mr. Beaver’s dam was fixed and finished. Peter was

given a shield and sword. Susan received a bow, arrows, and a horn.

Lucy’s gift was a bottle of healing juice and a dagger. that was

the climax of the book because the spell of the White Witch was

fading. Then they met up with Aslan and he freed all the stone

figures and made them his army. The resolution of the book is when

Aslan’s army and the witches army confront and Aslan’s army wins.

Peter kills the witch at the end of the battle.

The impression I got from this book is that Naria is a

land of surprises and I’m excited that this years assignment will

allow me to read more of ” The Chronicles of Naria ” . I liked this

book because of the surprising events like when Aslan died then

came back to life. I would recommend this book to someone more or

less at my reading level because I found this book neither

difficult nor easy and simple.
