Okay, here are some questions I have thought up to facilitate discussion. Feel free to ask questions yourself, or just post comments. I am anxious to hear what ya'll thought. :)
Question 1: Did you feel that this book had any religious or symbolic references?
These are my thoughts: I know that C.S. Lewis wrote the Chronicles before he was ever converted to Christianity, but I really enjoy the symbolism and reverence that is easily associated with them. I felt like this book was more JUST a story, but I did enjoy the tone of symbolism, much like the belief in Santa in "The Polar Express" (For example, the belief in Aslan and the children being able to see him). What did you think?
Question 2: In the book there is the part where Peter, Edmund and Trumpkin are listening to the arguments behind the door of whether or not they should call on the powers of the White Witch. Within a few minutes a small battle ensues. It seemed even Dr. Cornelius did not see it coming? Why do you think this happened? Could they have prevented it?
Question 3: Who was your favorite character, and why? :)
Mine was Trumpkin. :)

A New Book for the New Year
I just wanted to make it official that the book for January is Return to Narnia: Prince Caspian by C.S. Lewis. I thought it would be fun to read a book in anticipation of the movie coming out in the spring.We hope everyone had a wonderful time together. We did. We love you all!
