The lion, the witch and the wardrobe - Character Tracer

The text we read for homework this week was a pice from the book The lion, the witch and the wardrobe written by C.S Lewis. There's four main characters and their names are: Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy. My task was to choose on of them and describe him or her. I choose Lucy. 

Lucy is the youngest sibling out of four. You can read about how she's scared of many things but she's very curious too. Right in the start when the odd - looking professor, with the grey hair, meets them she finds him a bit scary. Later on when the kids settled in and said goodnight to their new foster parent the boys sneak in to the girls room to discuss the their new home, the professor and what to do in the morning. Right away she reacts and she's scared that that they might get in to trouble and tells her brothers and her sister that they should all go to sleep. That's another sign of that she's easily scared of many things. There's on other sign that I found. After a while when they all sit down in the big bed and talk about the things that is to their benefit Lucy hears a sound and starts thinking about the large house, the long hallways and all the doors and it makes her feel a bit creepy. Her brothers ensures her that it's only a bird and she can relax a little. 

So from the scared part to the curiosity. All the four brother and sisters are very curious. They talk a lot about how they need to explore more and how they want to discover everything there's to discover about the countryside, but it is Lucy how opens the door to the wardrobe and the door to Naria. It doesn't only show that she's curious but also that she seizes opportunity, that she makes sure that she looks everywhere before she gives up. 

I don't know that much about Lucy but she seams like a nice girl and if she'd been real I think she'd grow up to become a very smart and responsible person. I think we all got a little bit of Lucy in us. A little curiosity and something we're afraid of. Because without fear and curiosity we aren't complete.
