Appreciation !!!!!! DONE!

    When an author pulls you into a world created by the imagination of him/herself . That's when you know the writer has enough experience to help you go on a journey with characters given enough detail to be standing in the room with you. That's exactly what C.S Lewis the author of the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe succeeded to do in the book.

    In many parts of the book I would find the detail to be very intrecit. But at times i thought it was skimpy and left me a little unsure. While reading this book i felt that the storyline was something fast paced and thrown at you right from the start. And this is one reason i found the book enjoyable. Because, within the first ten pages you are dragged into a detailed story. It's almost like you are blindsided but, you just go with it because the author makes you WANT to.

     "Next moment she found that what was rubbing against her face and hands was no longer soft fur but something hard and rough and even prickly. 'why, it is just like branches of tree's!' exclaimed Lucy. And then she saw that there was a light ahead of her; not a few inches away where the back of the wardrobe ought to have been, but a long way off. Something cold and soft was falling on her a moment later she found that she was standing in the middle of a wood at night time with snow under her feet and snowflakes falling through the air."


     I find his talent of describing transportation enjoyable. I think that books like this are fun to read because of adventure, and the made up ways of fictional worlds. I think reading it now as an older person i feel that the book has changed meanings to me. Before i felt the meaning of the book was an adventure to discover new things. And now the book transformed into something that just makes me feel like i am enjoying a story for all ages. No matter how old or young you are how tall or small or loving or empathetic. This book will make you happy. It will open your eyes and mind to see that their are different ways to life then the way we are living it.

   I think while i read the book the story was like a roller coaster. The characters are the directors they keep you on the track of the roller coaster. The author is the designer, but the fun comes from how the author chooses to design the tracks of the ride. The description in the story is the things you find when you're at the top right about to fly down with help from the directors. Feelings of the characters are how the directer's choose to follow the path. And when the story/ride is almost over and you want to unbuckle the designer puts a twist on the tracks. Leaving you screaming with shock but feeling like you can't survive with out more.

    Thinking back to when i read this as i child the ending could have suficed. Getting older opens your eyes to finding new details and noticing things that weren't caught the first time around. For me reading this book was like an exiting roller coaster and when it was over i felt there could have been more. But when you put yourself in perspective the designer always has a reason for ending a ride.
