Re: Summer Reading Challenge 2021 (HHB) Sharing Thread
In chapter 15, I like that Rabadash was offered mercy. He chose not to accept it, but it was offered to him. "Rabadash," said Aslan. "Take heed. Your doom is very near, but you may still avoid it. Forget your pride (what have you to be proud of?) and your anger (who has done you wrong...

Re: Summer Reading Challenge 2021 (HHB) Sharing Thread
From chapter 13, one thing I like is the moment when, on the way back from Narnia to Archenland, Shasta realizes that he had come along the edge of a precipice in the fog at night. At first he shudders, but then he realizes that he was quite safe the whole time because Aslan had stayed between him a...

Re: Summer Reading Challenge 2021 (HHB) Sharing Thread
In chapter 11, I like that people are impressed at the way Shasta mounts a horse and assume that he will have no trouble riding--but he has so much trouble with the horse that both he and the horse end up thinking very little of each other. It is a very fun/funny illustration of the way that things ...

Re: Summer Reading Challenge 2021 (HHB) Sharing Thread
I like this detail from Aravis's escape from Tashbaan in chapter 9: [...] and a moment later [Aravis] was out in midstream with a huge real moon overhead and a huge reflected moon down, deep down, in the river. It seems to speak of the calm of crossing over out of danger and into safety. Of transiti...

Re: Summer Reading Challenge 2021 (HHB) Sharing Thread
In chapter 7, I like the way that the friend that Aravis ran into actually ended up being a friend who could help her and Bree and Hwin--however different Aravis and Lasaraleen were. They didn't need to like the same things, or even have the same ideas about what would make Aravis happy, for Lasaral...

Re: Summer Reading Challenge 2021 (HHB) Sharing Thread
In chapter 5, I like this quote from Sallowpad the Raven: And now, as we birds say, nests before eggs. Which is as much as to say, let us all take our food and then at once be about our business. It is fun to think about the perspectives of the talking animals and other non-humans of Narnia. It adds...

Re: Summer Reading Challenge 2021 (HHB) Sharing Thread
One thing I like from chapter 3 is the good sense of Hwin. Instead of fussing about appearances, she thinks about what is practical and what is necessary. I could imagine the others getting into a lot more serious trouble in trying to get through Tashbaan without her good sense. She is able to be a ...

Re: Summer Reading Challenge 2021 (HHB) Sharing Thread
A moment I like from chapter 1 is when Shasta learned the story of how Arsheesh found him. I like it because it represents a major change in Shasta's life, a time when he first starts to see himself as he really is and realizes that his life doesn't need to continue as it has always been for as long...

Polly has been working on projects with Youngest Sister. That's been fun.
