Narnia: Last Battle
Guided Response: The book Narnia: the last battle is the final book made by Chris Van Allsburg. This tale tells of a magical land where there is creatures with human characteristics. Nothing could be more mythical than this. Before all fall into place. King Tirian was foretold by a centaur called Roonwit about impending disaster. The centaur studies the stars and interprets them. "There would be no coming of Aslan the Great nor of peace or joy ." "Behold the stars never lie but men and beasts do." In my opinion I believe man lie but I know nothing of stars. Furthermore there is a wise ape named Shift and a donkey named Puzzle. Puzzle is always doing whatever Shift says because donkeys aren't so smart. He may not be so bright but he has a sense of discernment.The ape is old,wise but mischievous and cons Puzzle into posing as the savior of the land. The savior is a lion known as the Great Aslan, but he is not present just yet. Many are deceived by the pseudo Aslan and follow his every command. Much havoc and disorder is brought forth and the land is in unrest.King Tirian rules the land but is soon caught up in the catastrophic mess. He may be king, but he has lesser power than Aslan. Very few has seen through the lies but all are deceived by Shift and Puzzle.Tirian was subverted as king though he was the only force against the false Aslan's tyranny. The king was abducted and tied to a tree left to die, while Shift and Puzzle continue with their false peace. Children from another dimension come to the aid of the king. The two are Eustace and Jill who have been to Narnia previous times before. With additional help, the king devised a plan to to turn back what has happened. Even with a few allies, King Tirian knows the chance to save Narnia is slim. In my own words we know fairy tale stories meet a good end.The main Characters are honorable and from the way I see it they're daredevils. Each one has their own ability, and once you read it you feel like you're in their shoes. All the events that take place in Narnia has a mixture of fiction and non-fiction actions.
