  “The CHRONICLES of NARNIA” series which written by C.S.Lewis is one of my favorite novels that I have read. It is talking about a story of things happened in a magic and mysterious world “Narnia”. The main characters are four brothers and sisters—Peter, Susan, Edmund, Lucy, and the most important one, Aslan. I saw movie first and then read the novels, however, I felt moved and just like I am having an great adventure with the characters. I could feel their growing, their confusion, their courage and their weaknesses. This series affected me a lot, no matter on having good relationship with others or on having great courage to face any difficulties and challenges. I learned many things from the series, and I want to talk about my favorite character—Edmund.

  Being the third kids in the family, Edmund always thought that he was the one least being taken carefully. Because his elder brother Peter and elder sister Susan is very obedient, and younger sister is the youngest, their parents would often neglected Edmund’s requirements and wanted him to take good care of Lucy. Moreover, when Edmund was disobedient, he would be scolded by Peter and Susan. These unfair treatments made Edmund stand by the evil White Witch cause she made use of Edmund’s weakness—she gave him her concern.

  At the end Edmund penetrated the White Witch’s bad plan and went back to Aslan’s group. However, the process of getting sensible, thoughtful, faithful and forgiving his family’s unfair treatments are the plot which is truly touch me a lot.

  In my family, I mean the bigger one which include my aunts, uncles and cousins, I’m the third kids too. Although my parents love me very much and I know the love they give me is totally equal to my younger brother, not really like Edmund’s condition, sometimes I would still feel a little bit uncomfortable about being the third kids in the family.

  I deeply know the desire of bring the younger one and being taken care of others. Nevertheless, I always had to take care of my younger brother, and my two elder cousins often thought that my brother was cute and I was annoyed. What’s more, I felt like my brother didn’t like me than the cousins because I would discipline him when he was disobedient. The feeling of being ignored by cousins and my brother was complicated and very sad.

  Nonetheless, “The CHRONICLES of NARNIA” series helped me a lot, especially Edmund. From his journey of turning into a sensible child, I learned the way of showing my love and how to balance the supply and demand of my love and care. I realized that my cousins still love me but they just like Peter and Susan, who didn’t know how to express their love correctly. And my brother is just like Lucy, who is not always at the same frequency with Edmund. He loves me of course, however, he always uses some special ways to express his love to me.

  “The CHRONICLES of NARNIA” series is definitely a great novel. I am very thankful for this series of novel and one of the main character Edmund. Thank these things let me open my heart and feel the concern and love from my cousins and brother.
