R+E#5: The Horse and His Boy Post#5(RESPONSE)

In the last part of the book, Shasta (Cor) rests in a hermit's home. After a few days of rest, he ventures out again but without Bree, Hwin and Aravis. After a few miles of traveling, he meets Prince Corin again but he is now with King Lune. After King Lune tells Shasta (Cor) that his real name is Cor, they meet Aslan and Aslan tells Cor that he was the lion scaring the horses. Right afterwards, Aslan turns a guy named Prince Rabadash into a donkey.

That is the end of the story and I will read more of The Chronicles of Narnia books from the series.

I read more and this is what happened.

When Queen Susan and King Edmund saw Shasta, they thought he was Prince Corin because they were twins (Shasta's real name was Cor but he didn't know that until King Lune told Shasta later in the book). Aravis was waiting by the sand tombs but then wandered into Tashbaan to see her friend, Larsaleen, who lives in Tashbaan. When Shasta goes to the sand tombs, he doesn't know where Aravis is.

I will tell more once I read more.

Now that I read more, I will explain what happens.

Shasta meets Aravis and Hwin in a forest near Calormen. Aslan then leads them in the right direction because they were headed the wrong way but Shasta didn't know that nor did he know that the lion was Aslan. Then Shasta arrives in Tashbaan, the city where Tisroc lives, he meets Queen Susan and King Edmund.

That is all I know so far and more posts are coming soon.

R+E#5: The Horse and His Boy Post#2(RESPONSE)

I have started reading the first few chapters of the book. So far, the book is quite interesting, it is almost as good as the previous two. Narnia is a magical fantasy place.

The main characters are Shasta, a Narnian boy raised by a Calormen fisherman when he was a baby; Aravis, a Calormen girl; Bree, a talking horse from Narnia and Hwin, another talking horse from Narnia. When Tisroc, the king of Tashbaan, comes to the fisherman's house they have a conversation about selling Shasta to be a slave. Somehow, Tisroc has Bree captured and since Shasta has to sleep in the stables, Bree starts talking to Shasta and agrees to go to Narnia together to escape.

The plot thickens and I'll post more as I keep reading.

R+E#5: The Horse and His Boy Post#1(EXPLORATION)

I am starting this blog on one of the books in The Chronicles of Narnia series. I became interested in the The Chronicles of Narnia after I saw the movie based on the second book of Narnia called The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. Ever since I have always wanted to read the Narnia series. Recently, I finally started the series. So far I have read the first two books and I am starting the third one. The third book, as you can tell from the title is about a talking horse and a boy. I wanted to do this blog so that I can share the book with my classmates during my Response and Exploration.

The author of the series is Clive Staples Lewis, or better known as C.S. Lewis. He was born in Belfast in 1898. C.S. Lewis wrote many books and the seven Chronicles of Narnia books were his only works for children.

Here is the picture of the author:

Next time I'll post a little bit about the plot after I read more of the book.
