Entry#7-The lion,the witch,and the wardrobe

The book I am reading called "The lion,the witch,and the wardrobe" had meaning throughout the book. The author has used his own knowledge to make the book interesting. I found out many meanings by using Google. The website is called http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/lion/themes.htm and this website talks about how each author made each character represent people from Christianity. The author has done a lot of research to make the book more related to Christianity. In a essay I found from this link http://cslewis.drzeus.net/papers/lionwitchallegory.html  talks about how the author has used the first book in the series to create Narnia and keeps writing in the other books of the series to tell other adventures of kids who visiting Narnia. The essay talks about how when Narnia was first created it was still dark and after some time later in the books it started to get brighter. The main characters represent hope or light in the book and the villains represent evil or dark. The book circles around the four main characters and how they will stop the witch from ruling over Narnia. The four main characters are the light trying to prevent the dark from winning and the witch is the dark trying to survive from the light. I found another source which was from this link http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/lion/facts.html and it stated many facts. What it stated was that it was talking about who's point of view it was and what the symbols were. I think these were useful sources to me because it helps understand the book better and what C.S.Lewis wanted the readers to feel the same way he does about the book.
