Researching the Self

Books have made a huge impact in my life. From the start I was a strong reader with an even stronger interest in literature. The books that most made a difference in my life had to be The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S Lewis.

The first time I read these books I was probably 5 or 6 years old and my dad read them to me before bedtime. I loved the stories of the children fighting to survive the Witch in Narnia. It really opened my mind to fiction and taught me to use my imagination.

Later on this book showed me how biblical themes can be important in literature and how a metaphor works. The Chronicles of Narnia also remind me of my father’s dedication to me.
