When Aslan slips away, Mr. Beaver explains that you cannot hold Aslan down. He says, “He's wild, you know. Not like a tame lion.” Where in the story do we see evidence of the fact that Aslan is “wild?”

Good readers make and change their predictions as they read.  Look back on the prediction you made in Post #1.  How would you change your prediction now that you are almost halfway through your novel and indicate which specific event caused your prediction to change.  If your prediction could still be correct, tell us about an event that makes you stick with your original prediction.

When the children learn of Aslan, they are filled with wonder and excitement, but Edmund “felt a sensation of mysterious horror.” Why?

When the children see Aslan they understand that something can be “good and terrible at the same time.” How could this be?

 In Narnia the children aren't sure at first whom to trust. Edmund introduces this idea because the White Witch had been so “nice” to him. Why can it be difficult to know whom to trust? Why doesn't Edmund notice that the White Witch's smile “isn't so nice?” Why doesn't he notice what's happening to him?
