The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe #2

In the story “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” by C.S. Lewis, I think the book revolves around trust. Right now in the book, there are many problems and it seems that they never would have happened if Edmund trusted Lucy in the beginning of the story. It all started when Edmund didn’t believe Lucy about the wardrobe. Then he met the White Witch and got tricked by her into helping her and now he doesn’t know what to do next.

At first when Edmund didn’t believe Lucy, all the other siblings came into the wardrobe and checked for Narnia just to humor her. Then we found out that the wardrobe only works when it’s raining outside. Lucy was right and she knew that but Edmund and all the other siblings didn’t believe her and though she was lying. So after much discussion between the two, Edmund didn’t want to fight about it anymore so he decided to try it thinking he was right even though he wasn’t. Edmund’s perspective of the story was much worse than Lucy’s because the whole time Lucy knew she was right while Edmund thought he was right but actually wasn’t. Then, just to be spiteful, Edmund started teasing Lucy at every moment he got, just to be spiteful.

After Edmund finally jumped into the wardrobe he discovered what Narnia was. Suddenly, when he was just walking and discovering the different parts of Narnia, someone, not a normal person, came up to him. She was the White Witch of Narnia. All that she did was bribe people to be with her and always try to get people to do their best to protect her. In this case the White Witch bribed Edmund with turkish delight and got him inseparable from it and to keep Edmund on her side she kept on giving him more turkish delight. By doing this it has pulled Edmund into many more bad “traps.”

Overall if Edmund just believed Lucy about the wardrobe he wouldn’t have been caught up in all the crazy problems ,and he also wouldn’t have gotten all the turkish delight that he can’t get enough of.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

In the book “The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe,” by C.S Lewis I think that a big problem, that lead to many more problems, is that Lucy went to Narnia and none of her siblings were believing her about it, though it was true. That was a huge problem because it made her siblings want to go to into the wardrobe to see if Narnia was real or not and that caused problems from there.

This affected the characters in a big way because it caused lots of commotion throughout the siblings and many emotions to like surprise and disbelieve.. For example, since Edmund didn’t believe Lucy about Narnia, he went there and faced problems that he wouldn’t have had to face if he just stayed at the professor’s house like he was supposed to. While he was in Narnia he was walking around when he saw the White Witch and was getting tricked by her to eat the turkish delight.

In that situation I thought that the White Witch had power. I thought she had the power because she was tricking Edmund while he had no idea that she was doing it. In his mind, the White Witch was beautiful and amazing, though she really wasn’t. The White Witch also had power because she knew about Narnia while Edmund didn’t know a thing about it and how to escape and get back to the professor’s house. Not only that, the White Witch have the power on Edmund and partly Lucy too. She also had power on all of Narnia, whenever she wanted to she could just turn Narnia into winter when no one even deserved it.

Overall, Lucy got Edmund into some problems but they weren’t even her fault. Someone has to do something about the White Witch, otherwise she will figure out a way to be able to control something else just like she can with turning Narnia into winter.

Social Issues

There are so many social issues and I think that one of the worst ones is bullying. Bullying can happen in so many different ways. It can be cyber-bullying on social media, rude texts and calls, and even in person. This issue is really important to stop because it is happening so much everywhere!

There is no point of bullying and nothing good comes out of it. It is  one, or multiple people doing or saying rude things to others. It shouldn’t impacts the bully in anything other than being guilty and it impacts the person the bully bullying in a terrible way.

Bullying is a huge problem today. So many kids have social media and phones so once they put something mean on the internet it stays forever. Also, one mean word that comes out of someones mouth can change a lot, not always in a good way. I know that bullying is still happening today because I see it so much. I see it at recess at school and all over the internet. It’s not good!

Colonial Book Reflection

This year I made a colonial times informational book about colonial girls. The project was long but successful. I really liked this project because I got to learn a lot about the colonial times and I got to do a google slide show. Google drawings also were really helpful for this project. This project was also interesting because everybody’s slide shows were different in there own way.

The order of the process is pick your topic, research, draft on the computer, final draft then, revise! Revising is very important.  It took a very long time. 2 months. Everybody worked really hard. I hope you enjoyed my reflection and learned the process of how I wrote my Colonial Book!
