Narnia

*J Legault* · 06-14-2003, 12:31 PM

Did anyone ever read C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia? I first heard of it back when I was in the 5th Grade. I have all 7 books. Anyone a fan of it?

**Nturtle** · 06-14-2003, 12:34 PM

I read a few on the Narnia books, I read the first 3 and the 6th one, I think, it was the one where narnia was created, but lost intrest after that.

My 4th grade teacher read us The Lion, the witch, and the wardrobe..And worst of all, we had to watch the movie a few weeks later. That series sucked.

My 5th grade Teacher read Lion, Witch, & the Wardrobe out loud to the class. The LW&W movie we watched was a TV special made 15 years ago. I would love to see all 7 books published in 7 movies. Like they did for Harry Potter & Lord of the Rings. And it will go in order but I can always wait until it'll happen.

The one where Narnia was created is:The Magican's Nephew
The 2nd one tooken place 60 years after the 1st in: The Lion, the Witch, & the Wardrobe
The 3rd is when there's a boy who tries to find his destiny in: The Horse & his Boy
The 6th is known as the revenge of the White Witch in: The Silver Chair

So your saying you've never read Prince Caspian, The Dawn Treader, or the Last Battle.

I loved them too but I just plain do NOT see all the christian overtones that everybody claims are in those books. Sorry, I just didn't pick up on any of them.

*Mars-Chan* · 06-15-2003, 05:24 PM

Go Aslan! Go Aslan! GO! GO!

*J Legault* · 06-17-2003, 10:41 PM

The idea of the plot is quite creative. C.S. Lewis did had a creative mind for stories. His I.Q. sits next to Egar Alan Poe.

I never got that either, but I think that lion was a parallel to Christ or something. Anyway, we should stay off of religion in these posts as it leads to flamewars and closed threads

.

I liked the books for a while, but I grew out of them. I diden't finish all seven of them, maybe one through four... I can't remember.

I read one or two of the books because I had seen PBS's TV movie versions and they rocked. My family used to have 3 of them on tape, Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, and the Silver Chair.

That's because he was actually struggling with the concept of it all as he was writing those books. Also... just because Krang has placed a religion/politics ban on this forum, I have to advise everyone to not go into arguments regarding CS Lewis' religion.

I have heard many good things about the Chronicles of Narnia from my friends, and I would like to read this sometime. Lots of adventures involving a boy and his horse too, I hear.

The third one didn't had a ship but the 5th one did.

Heh, I first read 'em when I was 7 and I've read and re-read 'em ever since. Just the same as I did with The Lord of the Rings.

What can I say... I never actually played out of doors as a child.

Yea, that's a great series, but it does have Christian overtones. Talking about sons of adam and daughters of eve, and with the Lion as a symbol of christ are a couple examples.
