Courage. That’s what it takes to save a country. That’s what it takes to discover who you truly are. That’s what Lucy is made up of. In the book, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, by C.S. Lewis, the White Witch tries to take over Narnia, but the Pevensie children come to the rescue. Then, there is a battle and the kids save Narnia. Lucy is an unlikely hero. First of all, Lucy saved Narnia, and she was brave in the midst of everything going on. To start, Lucy saved Narnia. After the battle ends, many people have been turned to stone. She can’t stand the sight of the terrible scene, so she saves everyone with the potion that Father Christmas had given her. Author C.S. Lewis wrote, “And for the next half hour they were busy—she attending to the wounded …show more content…
In the story, when Lucy is collecting her gifts from Father Christmas. He gives her a potion that could heal people, and a dagger to defend herself. He was giving all of the children gifts to help them in the battle against the White Witch. When she got her gifts, Lucy said, "Why, Sir," said Lucy. "I think—I don't know—but I think I could be brave enough" (Lewis 119). Even though Lucy is questioning her bravery in this line, she doesn’t know yet that she has such big potential. Later in the book though, she is going to beat the witch and save so many people. To add on, at the end of the story when all of the kids were grown up, each of the children have their own part that describes them in a special way. The author writes, “But as for Lucy, she was always gay and golden haired, and all Princes in those parts desired her to be their Queen, and her own people called her Queen Lucy the Valiant” (Lewis 201). This just shows that Lucy grew up to be beautiful, and happy. They call her Queen Lucy the Valiant because she is brave and courageous, and everyone wanted to marry her. That shows how Lucy is so brave, that other people notice
Lucy’s. They begin to start adapting to the human culture by changing their food habits. Before they come to St. Lucy’s, they make a promise to their parents that they will adapt at St. Lucy’s and change their host culture to a human culture. Later, most of the girls are beginning to progress at St. Lucy’s, but Mirabella is not. They find her “wading in the shadows to strangle a mallard with her rosary beads”.
Lucy’s they realize they have no choice but to shape up and learn how to be civilized. Claudette watches herself proceed through the stages, and she watches her younger sister Mirabella struggle the most. Through the whole story the tone of desire is seen. In the text it says “…students may experience a strong sense of dislocation.”
(P.47). Lucy is an important basketball character since she is the new hope of the reservation. She is so good that she has to play with
She was one of ten children in her family. When she was only twelve years old, both of her parents were killed, leading to her and her siblings trying to survive on their own. Lucy tried supporting her and her siblings by having
Her childlike mindset is illustrated by the pictures throughout the article. One of the pictures illustrates Lucy’s expectations as a unicorn, which is to say that they are unattainable and unreal. Children often believe in what isn’t real, like a unicorn, and Lucy thinks her life should be as great as a unicorn. This is a very innocent and naïve way of thinking. Urban’s pictures include rainbow colors and childlike illustrations.
She writes in a manner that shows the reader her identity rather that stating it right out. She tells the reader that her face is the reason for her dissatisfaction and unhappiness and one should believe this to be true. Via her anecdotes, Lucy tells us of the horrible things that happen to her because of her face and there is no doubt that they happened because of it. The reader feels for Lucy when she speaks about, for instance, the boys taunting her in the cafeteria or her experiences on Halloween. She feels awful when the boys taunt her and wonderful when she wears a mask and it is all because of her face.
Even with the help from St.Lucy´s they can almost never change a person for who they are, they will always have their natural instinct. Throughout St.lucy's home for girls raised by wolves,stages 1-4, Russell shows Claudette struggles of speaking English
“ Daddy, Daddy, She said we can go to the park.” Lucy doesn't realise that her father can get in serious trouble for this, but she will do anything so that they can be together. Later in the movie, Lucy is put under oath and is asked a couple of questions about her life and what happened on the day she was taken away. When one of the lawyers asks if she opened her presents yet she replies “I haven't opened my presents yet, actually, I did open my presents.” Then she realises that she said the wrong answer so she quickly changes it to yes, so that it seems like she is living in a stable home.
She was very brave and put herself through situations that made her uncomfortable, reminded her of the past, in order to keep herself moving into the future. It was very heroic to take the risks that she did, and she did save
Her life has left her to Dracula, her soul is assumed trapped, and her flesh remains the same. The process even corrupts Lucy into a nightmarish version of herself. In her UnDeath Lucy specifically feeds on the blood of children (Stoker 198). It’s almost like Dracula corrupted Lucy into a dark version of motherhood. Instead of protecting children, she predates
Lucy has so many wonderful qualities, but the ones that stand out to me are her independence and diligence. Although her parents are very loving, they also travel frequently, leaving Lucy responsible for her meals, laundry, and more. This has taught Lucy the importance of being independent and living in the real world. She realizes and understands how to take care of herself and balance what she needs to do without always having the immediate support of
Lucy stands in many ways in contrast to Mina’s character as their moral views and ways of life are distant. She has no occupation and is in no way seeking any form of education. Due to this fact she resembles at first initially in no case the modern New Women, as these sought for independence and education. Her personality can be described as girly, lovely and ‘sweetly innocent’, a seeming sample of Victorian perfection. Lucy is highly beheld for her beauty as her appearance is that of a luminous beauty with fair hair, that is described as “sunny ripples” , and pure bright eyes.
She has fallen victim to Dracula and becomes undead herself. She is one of two female characters, who is pursued by the vampire. Bram Stoker may have given the impression that Lucy was of that a ‘free’ and gossipy female. I do believe that from reading a few passages from Dracula that apply directly to Lucy, this portrayal could be false, and this is in reference to her once she has become undead. Lucy could be a victim, an innocent woman sabotaged by Dracula.
Peter was given a sword and shield because he is a man, while Susan was given a bow and arrow that “does not easily miss” (152) and a horn to call for help. This implies that a woman cannot possibly be able to fight or defend herself without the help from an enchantment or from others (probably males). Lucy, too, is given a small dagger and cordial of healing juice because Lewis implies that she, as a girl, should be a caretaker, not a fighter. And although Lucy insists she could be brave enough to fight in the war, Father Christmas, in all his male supremacy, dismisses her, saying, “… battles are ugly when women fight” (153). As children, it is important to understand that they are not defined by what society interprets as masculine or feminine.
