1035 Words5 Pages

Prince Caspian, written by the divine author C. S. Lewis, portrays a daring adventure and a battle for freedom while characters obtain braveness, courage, leadership, and patience through spiritual instruction. The spectacular setting of this widely known book takes place in the land of Narnia, and the period of time when there were kings, kingdoms and castles, and when battles were fought with swords, catapults and pure skill. Prince Caspian, a remarkable book from C. S. Lewis’s series, The Chronicles of Narnia, affected me in many ways, and caused me to stop and deem through the range of spiritual character traits portrayed, and how I may apply them to my own life.
In C. S. Lewis’ Prince Caspian, there includes a protagonist, antagonists, …show more content…

The two characters who I have chosen to compare are Prince Caspian, and the oldest pevelsie sibling, and old high king Of Narnia, Peter. These two characters are alike and different in many ways. A few things they have alike are royalty, courage, leadership, and, age. In the world of Narnia, they are both young men and have come from, or have been appointed royalty. In this case, Prince Caspian is a prince, and Peter was the old high king of Narnia. These two also have numerous counts of courage and bravery, and have both been appointed leadership positions and have led battles, which have displayed their courage and servanthood. However, despite these many things they have in common, these two marvelous characters have some differences. For one, Peter as the old high king of Narnia, has had many experiences and has had much more leadership experience, while Prince Caspian is just starting to become a leader. In the end, these are two divine characters, who both portray numerous abilities and traits and have greatly affected the story.
In Prince Caspian, I think the most changed and influenced character is Prince Caspian. He has changed in many ways by the end of the long adventure. He has learned and obtained advice from all of his supporting friends and has used it to improve his leadership and integrity. While leading and planning a battle against his uncle, he obtained

However, reflection and refraction in attitude and ability to attain freedom between the two heroes are notable when taking in the effects of their rivals, the inspiration of women in their lives and close friendships that help bring courage and success in their quests. Although, the two characters diverge from similarity as, Gilgamesh has a deep desire to be liberated from death’s grip while, Wallace aspires to release himself and the people of Scotland from the oppression brought forth by England, nonetheless, it is freedom they seek.

    The concept of “The Hero’s Journey” plays a major role in nearly every piece of fiction humanity has created since its inception, from epic poems to blockbuster movies. In many ways, works of fiction and some pieces of nonfiction could not exist and would not make sense without the concept of a Hero’s Journey; it allows the reader to comprehend and follow the progression of characters over the course of the story. While Cormac McCarthy’s novel The Road may not display most of the archetypal qualities found in classic Hero’s Journeys such as J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit or Homer’s Odyssey and Iliad, it most clearly exemplifies the qualities of a Hero’s Journey through the Boy’s character in relation to the mentor, tests and enemies, and the

    There 's always the "what to read while waiting for the next HP" question for some of us, but...now don 't get upset folks - I like Harry Potter as much as you do - "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" has a modern, hip, even urban style that people weary of Harry 's earnest heroism may actually PREFER. Plus, people with an interest in legends and myths will bug their eyes out with excitement, because the premise of "Percy Jackson" is that there are a handful of kids who are in fact the children of Greek gods and goddesses, who had come down to dally with modern Americans. These kids, called "half-bloods" in the book, grow up not knowing their origins, alienated by their disjointed lives and absent parents. (A nice conceit of the book is that many half-bloods have dyslexia, but only because their minds are wired for ancient Greek, and ADHD, but only because their minds are wired for hunting, a notion that should give a lot of comfort to real kids
