Welcome to The Screwtape Letters

A tip from the teacher... if you're not sure you know the meaning of a word, look it up. It can really enlighten the meaning of the letter (if you choose the right word to look up that is).

Screwtape Letters... for Tolkien?

I don't know if anyone saw this, but The Screwtape Letters are dedicated to J.R.R. Tolkien.  I thought that was pretty cool! Yeah so look in your book and see if it is in there.

The Last Battle (literally)

Okay, the chapter the with very last battle with the very last king of Narnia really got to me. I thought of how sad it was that Eustace and Jill were thrown into the stable...but how wonderful it was that they made it to Aslan's country, and soon Tirian did too to see to see High King Peter, King Edmund, Queen Lucy, Lady Polly and Lord Diggory. Not to mention, QUEEN Jill and KING Eustace. What did you all think of it?

Also, I found it VERY sad that Susan is no longer a friend to Narnia, as Peter puts it. I saw it coming...what about everyone else?

What is your favorite part so far?

My favorite part would be when the ape said,"I'm a Man: you're only a fat, stupid old Bear."
I don't think an ape can be a man! HA! HA! Though we are pretty close.

Welcome to The Last Battle...

I hope you all enjoy this last story which will wrap up the Chronicles of Narnia. It's a great read!
