Re: Re:Friends (btw ninny hammers and noodles is Sam's

Chronicles of Narnia isn't a trilogy... *confused*
*Grins* My sister called it an allegory. (If you don't know what that, is, read 'little men' or look it up in a dictionary - I can't give a good definition <img src=wink.gif ALT="

"> ) Allegory of the new testament. With Aslan = Jesus and Emperor over the sea = God, and the children disciplines. Or something like that. Which I doubt, but that might just be my ignorance...
(And allegory is also not copying. it's like... *Tries to think of a good example*... like George Orwell's Animal farm is an allegory of some war.)
