Another book I read this semester were the Narnia chronicles. Out of those, the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe was chosen to be a movie last year. After having read the book and watched the movie, I can see how they relate to religion or Christianity. The main part that stood out to me was when Aslan was taken by the white witch and shaved. Obviously, this section seemed to relate most to when Jesus was crucified on the cross. Just as Jesus had risen after his crucifixion, Aslan risen after his encounter with the witch. As for other relations between this book and Christianity, Aslan symbolizes God and this is shown through his sacrifice for the children as well as his ability to forgive everyone for anything they had done wrong in the past. He also helped guide the children in making mature and powerful decisions that ended up helping everyone in the end. I really enjoyed reading this book. Out of the books in the chronicles, I really enjoyed reading The Horse and His Boy. I also thought Aslan symbolized God in this book because he did help guide Shasta to where he is supposed to be. From these books, it seems that God will always be there in times of hardship as well as he will always know what’s best for you.
