Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

In the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe by C.S Lewis,a lot has happened.They met up with a beaver, Edmund has gone to the White Witch, it is confirmed they are going to Aslan and Santa has appeared. All the siblings have had a different reaction to their point in their journeys in Narnia.

 

First up, Lucy. Of course, I will have to explain the situation for each first. Lucy, at a young age (I’m guessing 5) is the most naive but most experienced in Narnia, for she has spent the most time. She has gotten on fairly well, meeting Mr.Tumnus and all, but has been teased about it not existing. She has had leadership placed on her shoulders. Lucy at the moment would be quite worried for they were on the run for a presumably dangerous foe. I say presumably because she’s never met the White Witch. However, she will be flipping that she met Santa, for it’s any young kids’ dream. So mixed feelings.

 

Next, Susan and Peter. Both of them have less experience in Narnia than Lucy, but are older. Unlike Lucy, they have started off on the wrong note having seen Mr.Tumnus’s house destroyed knowing he was taken away.  They will be thinking more calmly, though, for they will be experienced enough to know that staying calm will help them think better. They will be developing a strategy and making sense of the current situation. They will be thinking why they might need such weapons that Santa gave them. They’re thinking a lot that day.

 

Last and definitely our least favourite, Ed. What he’ll be doing is tying his brain in knots. He has been tricked into obeying the White Witch, and has a hatred for Peter. He was tricking himself into thinking that she was nice and realised the truth.  He’ll be tricking himself into agreeing with his old and kicking himself for endangering his siblings at the same time, and’ll cower in worry of what may happen to his siblings for some time. He is most likely the worst off at the moment mentally.

 

This is what I think the sibling will be thinking. Lucy scared but flipping in joy, Susan and Peter tiring their brains, and Edmund caught in the biggest knot of all time (just kidding LOL). Thanks for reading. :<)

Lion Witch and the wardrobe

The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe

 

In the “Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe” by C.S Lewis, Lucy, Edmund, Susan and Peter all get evacuated to a mysterious country house in England during WWII. As they play a game, Lucy comes into the magical world of Narnia through a wardrobe. However, the White Witch has made it everlasting winter. Edmund has been tricked to help the White Witch with her plans to keep herself in control of Narnia. Edmund has been really spiteful towards Lucy.

 

The reason I most strongly believe in is that he is trying to make himself more heard and to get more attention by his siblings. This is because, he is in the totally wrong position to be the most listened to. Susan and Peter are both much older than the other two, so are the most respected and reliable. Lucy is the youngest, so the others give her time to speak, to stop her from feeling bad. However, this means that Edmund isn’t getting as much attention as the others. This would make him jealous, upset and angry, all of which can contribute to spitefulness. I think that this would be the most likely reason.

Another reason could be a form of self esteem taken to far. What this would be is in his case is him not wanting to believe anyone else could possibly be right. Then, he naggs them about the fact that their wrong because he wants to send the message that he’s always right and they aren’t, just in case they didn’t realise that they truly were wrong. And once he knows he’s wrong, he wants to cover his mistake and make it seem like he never was wrong. One way to do this is to lie about it, even if it’s really mean towards the person who was right. Despite the many options, this is the easiest way out, and Edmund took it.

 

The following are the reasons I think that Edmund might be spiteful. Out of not speaking so trying to get attention, and too much self esteem.

Capstone Post 2 – Choosing Questions

Making our main and sub questions was actually much harder than you might think it would be. The decision to have Hydrogen was clear and simple, it seemed, but it didn’t help with main ideas. You see, we had to think about our subject in a lot of ways, which was as frustrating as can be.🤬🤬🤬 Element of the Periodic Table of Elements + religion? I don’t think so. Anyways, this was just to “make us think about our subject in different ways” even though it really didn’t do much in my case.🤭🤭🤭

 

Then we had to generate loads, and loads, and even more ideas that might be our question. We had this ranking thing were it could be 1,2,3 or 4. I came up with plenty of 4s, so I was fine. When it came to deciding which one to use, I was game on one and Ms.Cooper thought it was the best too so we were done in a record 12 seconds! :<)💨💨

 

Then we had to come up with some “sub-questions” which play the role of “the questions that you need to research to find the answer to your question”. I’m quoting it because I’m using the words Ms.Cooper said. So no “well, not really that”. I had much more trouble with this than with the main question because it had to fit under the “umbrella” of the main question and couldn’t be its own topic, like the main questions could.☂️☂️⬇️⬇️ 🤬🤬The day I’m writing this sentence in the document I’m using to draft before it goes in the blog is the day we’re going to confirm which sub-questions. So I can’t tell you that yet. But I nearly forgot, there is something I can tell you. I can tell you what my main question is. But really, it sounds a bit weird if your not doing this project. So no laughing. 😂😂🚫🚫Here we go : How has the use of hydrogen evolved over time? Told you!

Now I’m going to skip back and forth in order, telling you stuff in more detail. Some of the subjects we used to “make us think about our subject in different ways” are : religion (which I used earlier), Arts (OK?), Music (No way jose) and Geography (Are you serious?). The system is 4 is the best, 1 is the worst and you know how it is. The main questions were made on post-sticks. That’s it. Thanks for reading! Bye.👋👋
