Everyone's presentations so far have been so great! When Sunny Rae went up there, I'll admit I was a little intimidated... :-) She would make a great teacher someday! Anyhow, I noticed how many people touched on displacement, including myself. So I decided to keep an eye out for displacement in any form of entertainment I noticed over the last two days. It really is everywhere! Tonight I am going to go to "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe." I am sooo excited for it because I know it is going to be amazing. C.S. Lewis is such a phenominal author and I really hope the movie does justice to the books. I think I have read the entire series twice. To any of you who haven't read them, I would strongly encourage it! They are probably 5th grade reading level so it shouldn't be too time consuming. Lewis wrote these tales intending them to be displacements. I have always heard them described as "allegorical" but I think that labeling them a displacement does them more justice and adds to the meaning behind the story. "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" tells the story of a time when it is always winter and never summer. Aslan- the great lion finally steps onto the scene and engages his people in an epic battle for the world inside the wardrobe...their apocolypse of sorts. I am getting excited just thinking about it! Make sure all of you go!
