Narnia Reviews from the boys


Well,
my boys wanted to talk about Narnia in an email to their grandparents.
After two days of typing in bursts, they are done and I thought you
might like to have a look too. This one is my 8 year old's:
On
Wednesday, we went and saw Narnia (Lion, Witch and Wardrobe) at the
Tuggeranong cinema. It was really good. I liked it when Aslan roared
because it was really loud and he looked so magnificent. I liked the
battle. Peter was the oldest, Susan was next, then Edmund and then
Lucy. Peter was in command of the army. First he sent lots of eagles to
drop stones on the superior numbers of the enemy. (The Witch's army).
Then he led the charge on the enemy. From the air, it looked like a
huge triangle of men and animals. Edmund was in charge of the archers.
When Peter withdrew his army to the rocky cliffs where Edmund and his
men were hiding, the enemy followed. Then Edmund and his men fired and
weakened the enemy even more. Peter's bodyguard and a rhino charged
because Peter had been knocked off his horse and was on the ground near
the other army. Peter went and came up to the Queen (Witch) herself and
fought bravely. Susan and Lucy were with Aslan after he had been killed
on the stone table. The stone table broke, the deep magic was fulfilled
and Aslan rose back to life. They went to the Queen's castle and got
all the men and animals who had been turned into stone. Aslan breathed
on them and they turned back to life. Then, as Peter's army was almost
defeated, Aslan roared and the reinforcements came sweeping down. The
Queen's army was defeated and Aslan killed her.
After that,
Peter became High King Peter the Magnificent. Susan became Queen Susan
the Gentle, Edmund became King Edmund of the West Woods and Lucy became
Queen Lucy the Valiant. Then Lucy was looking out of the window after
the feast and saw Aslan walking down the beach. She asked Mr Tumnus
where he was going. Mr Tumnus said that one minute he would be there,
and the next minute he wouldn't. Aslan has other affairs to go to.
When
they were grown ups in Narnia, they were hunting the white stag which
if they caught it, would give them wishes. Suddenly, it went under a
hedge and Peter said the horses couldn't follow so they went on foot.
The they came upon a post covered in vines. It was the lamp post they
had seen on their way into Narnia. They kept on going and then they
stumbled back out of the wardrobe. They had turned back to kids again.
Then later, at night, Lucy was trying to sneak in again when the
Professor found her. He said that she wouldn't be getting in that way
again. You'll be drawn there again by magic when you're needed.
On
Wednesday night, we went to see Narnia. It was the first time I had
been to a cinema. I had a fun time seeing the movie. I liked it how
they did everyone's character. Lucy was the most excited one. When she
told the others about what she had seen, they didn't believe her. That
night, she went into the wardrobe again and Edmund came looking for
her. He saw Narnia as well. He saw the white witch and the witch tried
to persuade him to go to her side. The white witch tried to get Edmund
to bring Peter, Susan and Lucy to her. The white witch told Edmund that
if he brought Peter, Susan and Lucy to her, then he could become King
of Narnia. The white witch said her house was between two hills and to
bring P,S and L there.
Once Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy were
in Narnia they could conquer the white witch. It was told that 2
daughters of Eve and 2 sons of Adam would defeat the white witch. Aslan
was a lion; a big big lion. He was as tall as Edmund. He was a leader
and would help them.
The white witch came to Aslan's camp and
had a talk with Aslan. After that, the white witch went away. That
night, Aslan went to the witch's camp. The witch's people mocked him.
The witch then said to bind him up and then she said for him to be
shaved. The witch said to bring him up to her at the stone table. She
killed him and then she prepared for battle. Aslan let himself be
killed because he was dying in Edmund's place. Edmund had betrayed his
brother and sisters and then he betrayed the white witch.
Then
they had a battle. At first, Peter's army had birds drop stones on the
other army. Then Peter charged and attacked the enemy. They retreated
and Edmund's bowmen shot arrows and weakened the other army. Peter's
bodyguard and a rhino attacked the enemy. The rhino attacked the men
while the bodyguard attacked his way through the men to the white witch
but got turned to stone. Peter and his men charged again. Peter was
almost defeated when Aslan showed himself with a new army. Aslan had
risen from the dead. The white witch had been fighting Peter and kept
fighting harder when she saw Aslan. She was trying to kill Peter before
Aslan came. Then Aslan killed the white witch.
THE END!!!!
That's my 7 year old's. Yes, my fingers have recovered now.
