Mini Love Essay (characters in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe)

A character's view of love in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

In the novel The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis there are four siblings, Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy. Susan shows many variations of love not only to her siblings but also to many of the other characters in the novel. She shows a child like love towards Aslan the lion, a motherly love to her siblings, and a kind of sympathetic love for others in the story.

Susan has the motherly love for her younger siblings, which sometimes bothers her younger brother, Edmund. When I speak of motherly love, I am talking about how she worries about their well-being and reminds them it is time to go to bed in the beginning of the novel. She shows loving concern for Lucy when Lucy tells of her first Adventure into Narnia.

Her love for Aslan is the kind of love a child shows for an adult similar to a mother and father. She shows emotion of a great loss when Aslan is killed and then excitement when Aslan comes back to life.

She also shows a love for the Professor, which she calls that old sweet dear man.
During the end of the novel, Susan is called Susan the Gentle.

Please help, writing two different essays over one novel is giving me a hard time.

Greetings!

I think you're doing a good job with this. The only part I think needs work is your last sentence. I'm guessing that's not meant to be the conclusion--that you will be writing more? Don't say "During the end..." Better would be "By the end of the novel" or "Towards the end.." Go on to explain why Susan has earned that nickname.

Stay with it, you're doing well!

Greetings!

I have gone through the whole essay to correct punctuation, spelling and grammar:

In the novel The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, by C.S. Lewis, there are four siblings, Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy. I believe Susan shows more types of love than anyone else does. Susan, who is the second oldest, shows many variations of love, not only to her siblings, but also to many of the other characters in the novel. She shows a child-like love towards Aslan, the lion, a motherly love to her siblings, and a kind of sympathetic love for other characters in the story.

Susan has the motherly love for her younger siblings, which sometimes bothers her younger brother, Edmund. When I speak of motherly love, I am talking about how she worries about her siblings' well-being and reminds them it is time to go to bed in the beginning of the novel. She shows loving concern for Lucy when Lucy tells of her first adventure into Narnia and worries that something is wrong with her. Then when Edmund wanders off from the group Susan is the one that insists on going after him even though he was going against the group; in my view, that demonstrates great love.

When it comes to Aslan, the lion, and the Professor she shows the kind of love a child has for an adult, similar to that for a mother or father figure. [this next part is run-on and doesn't really make sense; I'm not sure what you meant to say, here: believe that they have immense goodness.] She suffers a great loss when Aslan is killed, demonstrating her love for him, and then exhibits emotions of excitement when Aslan comes back to life. She also shows love for the Professor, whom she calls "that old sweet dear man." [check to see if you left out some commas in that quote; it really should be "that old, sweet, dear man."]

Towards the end of the novel, before the children go back through the wardrobe, leaving Narnia behind, [rather than saying "Susan is called" it's better to say who is calling her that, for instance, "the others begin to call her"] Susan the Gentle. I think she is called this for the way she worries about every creature's well-being and all of the different kinds of love she illustrates towards others. There are many forms of love and Susan's character displays most of them in the novel.

Good job!
