Shasta in Narnia

I am reading the 12th chapter of the Horse and his Boy from the Chronicles of Narnia. I predict that Shasta will prevent the attack of Rabadash’s army getting help from somebody else in Narnia.

My prediction was sort of correct. Shasta is on his way but King Peter’s army will try to stop Rabadash’s attack. Now, since the White Witch had been defeated, peace had been brought to Narnia and I think that is the reason that all their people are happy to help anybody who are in need.

I wonder why dwarfs have uncommon names. The best ones I remember are Briklethumb in this story, and Reepicheep in the book Prince Caspian. My mom told me that C.S Lewis had a big imagination and knowledge about languages that allowed him to create new and magical ones.

I had trouble with three words: besieged, magpies and stag. Besieged means to be surrounded by an army. Magpies are a kind of Australian bird. Stag is a male deer. I used the dictionary to find the definition of besieged and stag. I found magpie by looking at some online pictures.

  1. Nice work Gabriel. You are a Home Reading Blog Master! Well done! I would like to see you challenge yourself a little more by connecting to the story. How does it make you feel? What does it remind you of? Put yourself into the story and tell what you would do.
