Author's Purpose

C.S. Lewis wrote this story because he wanted children to know about christianity. He refers to christianity in the book, but also uses characters to represent christianity.
In the book the people always refer to Edmund, Lucy, Peter, and Susan as daughters of Eve and sons of Adam. The Witch is also used to refer to christianity also. In the book she is not a daughter of Eve but a daughter if Adam. She is a giantess. Aslan is also used. In the book he represents Jesus. He is a mentor for many people as Jesus was, he brings people back to life as Jesus did, and he is killed but comes back to life.

  1. Kenneth, Try to elaborate to make posts longer and more complex. Also, make sure you're doing the right assignment!
