"An orphaned boy and a kidnapped horse gallop for Narnia . . . and freedom."

This quote was the first thing on the back of the book. I couldn't really find anything else to write about. Anyways, I changed the book I was reading because the other one was really boring. The new book I'm reading is called "The Horse and His Boy." So the quote above tells basically the whole plot of the story. The boy found a kidnapped horse and they left for Narnia. Now My question is, what is freedom? How is Narnia freedom. Maybe some random guy who hated Narnia would think it was the opposite of freedom. The truth is, there isn't "freedom" anywhere. You can't break a window and get away with it, you can't talk in class, you can't do a lot of things in this world. There is always a limitation. That is why there is NO freedom.

"Land in sight!"

I personally have never ever been on a boat before so when I look at this 3 word sentence, I think, what does it feel like to be on boat or ship. What does it feel like to see the land coming closer and closer? I think it should feel great. With the wind in your hair and the smell of the ocean all around you. I would be reluctant to leave the ship after seeing the land and those three words would be the phrase I would dread to hear. However, I were stranded at sea, and I haven't eaten or drank anything, it would be a whole different story. These three words would be the words I yearn to hear and they would send shivers down my spine, just thinking about going back on land once more and not drowning in the salty water.

"But it was the smell, the wild, briny smell, which really convinced Lucy that she was not dreaming." I love how smells can convince you of so many things, plus I like the idea of a wild, briny smell."

I chose this quote because I do agree with it. When I think I'm dreaming, the first thing I do is pinch myself. Sometimes I wouldn't be convinced by the tingling feeling on my arm. However, If I do smell something, maybe the smell of grass, my bedroom, or food, I would be immediately convinced. This is because you can't smell your dreams (I think). You can be anywhere you like, Willy wonka's chocolate factory, Candyland, maybe even the a dense forest with hundreds of different smells to smell, you still only smell your blankets, sheets, and pillow.

Wouldn't it be nice to smell your dreams though? Imagine you were dreaming of hot pancakes in the morning. Only that you can't smell them, or taste them in this case. What if you were in a garden full of flowers. It would be a magnificent sight to see, but you still can't smell their beauty. If only you can smell your dreams. That would be nice.
