The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, A review


  

Hi, this is my review about the book The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S Lewis from the Narnia series. When I was little, the movie would play on TV and I would watch it, so reading this book brought me back to those years. 

The book starts off in England during the WW2 where four children, Peter, the oldest, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy, the youngest, are going to leave London and go live in the countryside due to the war. After settling in their new home, the kids decide to explore. After looking through the house, Lucy is left alone in front of a wardrobe, she goes inside and enters the world of Narnia, where she meets a Fawn named Thomas, who introduces her into Narnia. After going back home, she tells the others about her experience in Narnia, but nobody believes her. They decide to play hide and seek the day after, And Lucy along with Edmund, decide to go into the wardrobe. While looking for Lucy, Edmund meets the witch, she convinces him to bring the other kids to her. Lucy meets Edmund, and tells him that the witch was cursing Narnia. They go back through the wardrobe after, and Edmund is able to convince the others to go through the Wardrobe. They all enter Narnia. While there, Edmund goes to the witch's palace and tells her where the other kids are. While running away from the witch, the others are lead to Aslan, the king of Narnia. Edmund decides  to go with his brother and sisters, and joins them to fight the witch.  Along with Aslan, the kids and the other creatures, they all fight against the witch. After defeating the Witch, they are all named Royalty of Narnia by Aslan.

I did not enjoy this book, although I do like fantasy books, I was not a big fan of this one. If you enjoy fantasy books and series like this and you believe you would enjoy it from the summary, I recommend you to read this. But this book was simply not for me.

Thanks for reading

-Samuel

      It was pretty boring in my opinion, or I guess it was just not as exciting as other books that I read

    Hey Samuel, I also watched the Narnia movies when I was younger. My parents have recommended this book to me so I might see if I like it. Good review!

    I remember reading that book when I was a kid and I enjoyed it. I don't know if I read it now I would like it though because I am not into fantasy.

The Palestine-Israel conflict

     Recently, there has been a lot of talk about the conflict between the Hamas group and the Israeli government. By writing this blog, I hope to educate you about the history between Palestine and Israel, from an unbiased standpoint. I myself didn't really understand the motives and causes for this conflict when I first heard about it, so hopefully you find this helpful.     This chronicle starts all they way back in the early 20th century, close to the end of World War I. In 1917, the British Government issued the Balfour Declaration, promising to make Palestine "a national home for the Jewish people". At the time, Palestine was under the rule of the Ottoman Empire, and so after the war ended the region of Palestine was conceded and given to the British Government. The handing over of territory was a mandate from the League of Nations (the predecessor to the United Nations), but at the time faced criticism for ignoring the Palestinian voices, who inhabited the land, an

The Struggle to Read (James)

     In recent times, I'm sure we are all struggling to find time to pick up a good book to read. As a kid, like many of you guys, I built the healthy habit of reading before bed, but for the past year or two, that's changed. Now, I go to bed immediately after finishing my homework, completely exhausted from the day. This blog will be a sort of self-reflection, but also include discussions from articles found online.      Drew Whitaker, a student of De Smet Jesuit High School, blames social media: " It is no coincidence that the teenage reading rate has declined as technology and social media have taken over nearly all aspects of teenage life. With the downfall of teenage reading, may come the downfall of teenage education all together. With technology taking over the world, teenagers have all the knowledge they need and more right at their fingertips. There is no reason for people to open up nonfiction books anymore when they can simply pull out their phones and find any

In the year 2016, Dav Pilkey, the author of Captain Underpants, released the book, Dog Man. The graphic novel became a bestseller for many years and was quickly turned into a hit series. When I was younger, I quickly became attached to these books and read them all throughout third and fourth grade. In this blogpost, I will be rating all the Dog Man books from 2016-2018. Before we start, what is Dog Man ? Dog Man used to be two people. A police officer and his police dog, named Greg. While Greg and his owner were trying to diffuse a bomb, the two were blown up. At the hospital, the doctors concluded that the police officer's head was dying, and Greg's body was dead too. The doctors then devised the idea to sew the police officer's body and Greg's head together. Thus, being born; Dog Man. The books that were released from the year 2016-2018 were Dog Man, Dog Man: Unleashed, Dog Man: The Tale of Two Kitties, Dog Man and Cat Kid, and Dog Man: Lord of the Fleas. 5: Dog
