Here are my last 3. Chapter 11 was proving rather annoying. I'm not entirely happy with 16, but it will do. Will comment on the your other final posts a bit later: Chapter 11 The Magician was called Coriakin To him the Duffers would not hearken But Lucy was kind And new sense they did find When Reep...

Love the Dark Island poem, Lily, especially the rhyme structure and repetition. I get what you mean about the sailors being like Israel, though it's also so typically human (grumble grumble grumble). And I remember from HHB how good Lewis is at representing fickle human attitudes. At least Caspain g...

Love your Chapter 10 poem Lily. I'm struggling with my limerick for that because I want it to be all about Lucy and include her fear and temptations but I'm limited by word count and rhyme (my own fault, I know). Great thoughts as usual, Ariel. Esp. your thoughts on Aslan guiding every step. Even th...

I love your Chapter 6 reflections, Ariel. Aslan the irony of Eustace's actions and Aslan's paw in everything. Here's a selection of some of my favourite lines from your poems, Lily (I shared some of these on my phone the other day and lost them when the page refreshed): "They came ashore for a ...

So Ajjie got sick Wednesday night and fell behind. But I managed these last night. Ch 5 was hard as I was hoping there would be a new character or Island each chapter. But her goes. I wasn't finished Ch 6 at the tine so Eustace had just found out he was a dragon. Blame brainfog for the silliness. Ch...

Oops. Posted these last night then forgot to hit "submit" after checking the preview. Oh well. Loving your poems, Lily. Especially the name-etymology inspired one. I also like the way you describe Eustace's current state while foreshadowing the hope of change. Thanks for your links and oth...

Love your one-line summaries Swan!!! VDT was my favourite of the Chronicles when I was a child. It's still up there but HHB and SC have a special place now too. Anyway, excited for this since I haven't read it since 2015 - the last time we read it for the Summer Challenge. I'm reading the relatively...

Hi all, today we start this year's Summer Challenge. As announced on our Home Page, we are reading together through "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader " this year. This is the thread for posting reflections each day after reading the two assigned chapters. Reflections can be in the form of ar...

Finished!!! Chapter 15 Something I meant to say yesterday, and forgot was that I love how during Aslan & Co.'s romp through Beruna, there were a lot of non-talking animals that followed him. It's not often that we see much of non-speaking animals in Narnia and it was kinda cool to see that they ...

I got Saturday's reading done, but didn't get a chance to post the reflections on Sunday like I planned. So here they are with today's: Chapter 11 I don't know if any of you have read CS Lewis' The Prilgrim's Regress . It's a rather hard book of his to read and even he says in the preface to the thi...
