th
grade Biblical Studies Reflection #1 (The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe)
1. Give a brief summary of the movie.*
This movie tells us about four siblings who went to another world called Narnia. In this
land, they encountered talking animals, mythical creatures and also a wicked witch, who
dominated the land and always made it winter. Together, they fought to free the land from
the witchs curse and in the end; they triumphed over the witch with the help from a great
lion named Aslan. They were then crowned as kings and queens of Narnia.
2. What were your initial thoughts after watching the movie?
After watching this movie, I was inspired by the sacrifices and the heroic actions in the
movie. I also think that this movie has a fantastic storyline as it relates to the story of Jesus
in the Holy Bible. This movie also has great special effects and sounds.
3. What was the most memorable scene in the movie? Why?
The most memorable scene in this movie is when Aslan resurrected from his death after
the White Witch killed him. This is the most memorable because it tells us the true
meaning of sacrifice and how Aslan was really brave to die for the mistakes Edmund had
done. This also relates to when Jesus died on the cross for our sins.
4. Who was the most memorable character in the movie? Why?
The most memorable character in this movie is Lucy because she had dauntless bravery
and she was forgiving. An example is when she was daring to enter the wardrobe and
explore the unknown land. Another example is that even though Mr. Tumnus was about to
hand her over to the White Witch, she forgave him and still trusted in him.

8. Why do you think the people of Narnia were turned into stones by the witch? How can this
be applied in our lives now?
The witch turned the people of Narnia into stones because she didnt want them to move
and so that they wont be able to fight for their kingdom. In our lives, the devil tempts us
to sin and do things that are not pleasing to the eyes of God. The devil causes us to turn
away from God and stop fighting for His kingdom.
9. Before going into the battle, Peter shouts, for Narnia! If Narnia is symbolized as Gods
Kingdom, what can we do to fight for Gods Kingdom?
We can spread the gospel to the ends of the earth so that the devil will not be able to
deceive anyone. We can also repent from our sins and change our lives so that we could
resist the devils temptations.
11. What does the movie tell us about the true meaning of sacrifice? What do you think is the
true meaning of sacrifice? Who has personally shown the true meaning of sacrifice?
This movie tells us that the true meaning of sacrifice is willing to die for other peoples
lives because of their mistakes. According to my opinion, it means giving up something
that we really need or like for the sake of other people. My mom has personally shown me
the true meaning of sacrifice when she sent me to school in SPH because even though she
could have used the money for something else, she sacrificed it for me.
12. Why does King Aslan leave after he has crowned Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy? What
does that represent?
He left them as kings and queens because his job in Narnia is done and he leaves them in
charge for the kingdom. This represents that he knows that they are responsible enough to
rule the land as he has taught them valuable lessons such as the true meaning of sacrifice.

13. What do you think C. S. Lewis was trying to convey/tell through this story?*
C. S. Lewis is trying to tell us that we must be brave and never afraid to discover new
things. He is also trying to tell us that we must have a good character such as being
forgiving and kind. He also relates his stories to the life of Jesus so that we can understand
it more clearly and know what He had done for us.
14. What message did you get from watching this movie?*
After watching this movie, I learned that we must fight for Gods kingdom just as Peter,
Susan, Edmund and Lucy fought for Narnia. I also learned to be brave and courageous just
as Lucy was and also be willing to sacrifice for other people.
