Question One

Edmund

Find a specific part in the text that shows that Edmund is happy.

"Oh don't, don't, please don't," shouted Edmund, but even while he was shouting she had waved her wand and instantly where the merry party had been there were only statues of creatures.... And Edmund for the first time in this story felt sorry for someone besides himself."

"All round them though out of sight, there were streams, chattering, murmuring, bubbling, splashing and even (in the distance) roaring. And his heart gave a great leap (though he hardly knew why) when he realized the frost was over."

What do you know of Aslan so far?

"Aslan?" said Mr. Beaver, "Why, don't you know? He's the King. He's the Lord of the whole wood, but not often here, you understand. Never in my time of my father's time. But the word has reached us that he has come back. He is in Narnia at this moment. He'll settle the White Queen all right. It is he, not you, that will save Mr. Tumnus."

Imagine you are a reporter, and write a report about the sudden onset of spring in Narnia.
