Edmund drastically changed throughout The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. He changed from bad to good when the witch betrayed him and turned against him. He changed because he realized that the witch was actually evil and everyone was right about her. So, he went from believing her to going against her. This change from Edmund is important because if he stayed on the witch’s side, he and his siblings would have been harmed. But because Edmund decided to be on his brother and sister's side, they were all safe because they defeated the witch.

Lewis, in turn, names the main character and youngest child in the book Lucy. As Martha described in her book Lucy is innocent, pure and kind.

    What Lewis writes to show this is, “They had been just as surprised as Edmund when they saw the winter vanishing and the whole wood passing in a few hours or so from January to May. They hadn't even known for certain (as the Witch did) that this was what would happen when Aslan came to Narnia. But they all knew that it was her spells which had produced the endless winter; and therefore they all knew when this magic spring began that something had gone wrong, and badly wrong, with the Witch's schemes.” (Lewis, pg. 167) Now, when you think about how most books go when there is magic involved, there is always something or someone that is able to break the magic and restore everything to normal. In The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe’s case, it was both the children and Aslan who arrived in Narnia to break the curse.

He is almost destroying his reputation as a “witch hunter”, but he knows that he will have better character and a personal name, rather than a public name with no conscience. So, Reverend Hale has not changed in some ways, but the ways he has changed were in his faults, and all of the changes were made for the

    From Robin Hood’s Bay, the Cleveland Way ascends to the windswept heights of Ravenscar ‘the Town that never was,’ and visits the hidden cove of Hayburn Wyke with its striking twin waterfalls. The trail undulates up and down like a roller-coaster dropping down through green valleys and wooded dells to sea level before rising back to the cliff tops, with excellent coastal scenery throughout. The first written record for Robin Hood’s Bay was in 1536 when King Henry VIII’s topographer, John Leland, described it as ‘a fisher townlet of twenty boats’. However, the origin of its name is unknown, and there is no evidence that Robin Hood of Sherwood Forest fame ever visited the bay.
