Settings England and Telmar Despite there being many gateways between Earth and Narnia (Prince Caspian, 217), most of the visitors throughout the Chronicles come from one place-England. The obvious exception is the Telmarines, who were pirates on Earth but entered Narnia through one of the last “chinks and chasms between worlds” (Prince Caspian, 217). The English and Telmarines mirror the Jews and Gentiles of the Bible; while there may be remnants of either people in the “nethermost parts of the vineyard” (Jacob 5:13), both are descended from Adam and both are destined to rule in the end (Prince Caspian, 206). Narnia Narnia is something of a testing place for the Pevensies, Eustace, and Jill. Indeed, Aslan tells the young travelers that “[they]…
he tells me his name, Prince Caspian, and he then asks me my name. I have never thought about a name for myself, and other people call me a thief or a bandit. Promptly, I think of a name for myself, from all my kills, most of them named were named William. William, that 's it, I will call myself William. As I tell Caspian my name he begins to gain a significant amount of interest, does he know someone else named William? Does he think I stole their name? After, he just nods approvingly then…
The concrete core was installed by contractor Halliburton in order to seal the well. The seal was supposed to withstand certain amounts of pressure caused by surges of pressure. Due to the amount of pressure the concrete had to withstand the concrete had to meet certain standards. However, in a series of released documents leaked by the WikiLeaks group it was discovered that an incident similar to the BP oil spill had occurred on another rig in the Caspian Sea in September 2008 which was also…
Bacchus the nymph shows up to perform a "far wilder" dance with his Maenads at the Fords of Beruna (Prince Caspian 207) His dance is productive. It generates a feast including Bacchus 's own specialty, wine: "dark thick ones like syrups of mulberry juice, and clear red ones like red jellies liquefied, and yellow wines and green wines and yellowy-green and greenish-yellow" (205). The actions of music and dance are metonymy for a life full of playful yet serious endeavors and pleasure is amongst…
The Chronicles of Narnia is one of the most celebrated English literary series of the 20th century. The author, C. S. Lewis, wrote this series with a correlation of core concepts, major themes, and key symbols among the books. Three key themes that Lewis focuses on are the idea that God, directly and indirectly, influences our lives, the representation of Satan through the witches, and how persons deal with their sin and how they must discover and repent of their sin to be successful in life…
comes back in The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe— Jadis. They have to stop Jadis from terrorizing Narnia creating a battle between good and evil in this brand new world.

Digory sets free the evil queen Jadis from her world Charn. Before being in a frozen states Charn is was in the middle of being destroyed in the aftermath of Jadis ' fight with her…
These two controversial topics would become the backbone to Lewis’ best, and well known novels. Lewis wrote the book The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, which contains skepticism about religious faith. In the book Lewis has several characters which all resemble figures from the bible, for instance, the lion named Aslan, gets killed by the White Witch also named Jadis, as a sacrifice for Edmund the traitor, and then Alsan comes back later in the book, which resembles a Jesus like action, like…
To demonstrate, “Malcolm X delivered "The Ballot or the Bullet" to a predominantly African-American meeting in… the Congress of Racial Equality …which was shifting from nonviolent protest to Malcolm X-like black nationalism. Helping provoke this shift were speeches like this one, which was received enthusiastically” (Miller). Many African Americans came to Malcolm’s speech because they really wanted to know what he meant by the “ballot” and “bullet”. By the end of his speech, Malcolm wanted that…
I, however, believe this to show Malcolm X’s sense of urgency toward the civil rights situation at hand. Countless times in this address he calls to his fellow African Americans to inform themselves to the “ballot” or political atmosphere of their community. In place of violence, Malcolm X believes “that the black man should control the politics and the politicians in his own community”. He wants his fellow black citizens to better themselves and improve their communities using political…
When one is reminded of the civil rights movement, the first man who comes to mind is generally Martin Luther King, Jr. He is regarded as the primary figure that supported the rights of not only blacks, but all racial minorities during American segregation. Much less known is the more radical Malcolm X, whose stinging words generated significant controversy throughout his years of black activism. His militant singularity and hateful messages offered a stark contrast to the peaceful King as he…
