Enter to Win: 'Prince Caspian' Prize Pack
With the release of "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian," the much anticipated sequel to "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe," on May 16th, we've decide to celebrate by—what else?—giving you free stuff! We have 10 'Prince Caspian' prize...
I identify with Prince Caspian the most because he learned from his mistakes that made him stronger. He is a mother hen reagarding his siblings. He also listened to what his sisters Lucy and Susan had to say when they all rescued Peter.
Even if he was scared to fight the white witch, he did listen to Aslan the lion also and finally started to believe in himself.
I identify with Lucy, trying always to do the right thing, but maybe not so sure what that is or where it leads.
My now grown sons have read the Narnia series...it wasn't until the movie release of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" that this Mom experienced the adventure. (I now own a C.S. Lewis dvd sharing his wife's cancer ordeal) I recently purchased the guide to Prince Caspian - haven't finished - I am enlightened to know the storyline and characters. I am now looking forward to the movie and....I scored a 76 on the character quiz: I relate to Prince Caspian, who knew?
TCON: PC-MOM
I took the Narnia quiz and score a 66.....This has me in the range of identifying with Prince Caspian. A most likely sort! All of my life I've been a "motherhen", a nurturing and protecting spirit. It has taken me fifty years to accept these characteristics, since I had thought of them as being weak, venerable and a person to be abused. There have many situations in my life that I had to face the "white witch" but I faced and conquered the fears. God has become and is my Aslan in Jesus Christ. When I finally saw the movie, I cried when they had slain the powerful and mighty beast. But when he had risen he explained to the children the wherewithals....then I became enlightened. Before the buzz of Aslan's role resembling Christ Jesus, I was there in acknowledgement. I will see the new movie! This is a way of celebrating a 51st Birthday.
I must admit, that, even though I am a girl, I relate to Mr. Tumnus!
I've been called by many, the hostess with the mostest. Always seeing to my guests and trying to make them feel at home and more comfortable. I am also a very strong friend. Just call my name, and I'll be there, if I can. For fifteen years I held my house open to whoever needed a shower or clean clothes or a meal or bed. When I took the Winnie the Pooh survey, I beat out being a Pooh by one and wound up being Piglet. To put it short.. ........I care. I care very much......not to mention love.
Mr. Tumnus, even though he had his fears and insecurities, had these attributes also.
I LOVE THESE MOVIES THEY HAVE EVERYTHING THAT IS GREAT CONTAINED IN THESE MOVIES THEY ARE FANTASTIC!!
I love the Chronicles of Narnia, I think that I am more like lucy. I have been told that I have that sweet but innocent look, and I am very wise to be young. Lucy was wise before her years and my friends who have watched the movie and read the book believe that I was Lucy. We both share the gift of wisdom and courage which is a main asset in her character make-up and my own.
Well, as I imagine many others will have to say, I can relate best to Edmond. Edmond was the flawed, cynical, rebellious 'son od Adam' that needed to be saved by Aslan. I am Edmond. Ineed / needed a savior, and along came Aslan / Jesus to rscue me by taking the punishment that I had earned.
Oh, yeah ....I'm Edmond.
I guess I'd have to say Lucy...Not only am I the youngest of my family but,....wonder of wonders, my Mom used to tell me that she wanted to name me "Lucy"!!!
I wonder what she was thinking?
I wonder how my life may have been different if I was named Lucy?
Oh, by the way, WONDERful giveaway...Thanks!
I can swear to the above post -- MOM really did want to name her Lucy - I think she wanted to name me Oscar or was it Otto....but I turned out a girl ~~ thank goodness. I can relate to Lucy because I think I do have the gift of wisdom (everyone asks my advice :) on things ~ even my parents did), I am pretty smart (Staring school at 4, & skipping the fifth grade) - and I am pretty courageous (I married at 17 and am still married to the same wonderful man 36 years later) ~ I also moved away from my family, and started a business from scratch, etc. I believe I was the first in my family to accept Jesus as my saviour ~ and then made the effort to have my life reflect his love so that my entire family could know where my strength, love and blessings come from (it sure ain't just from me).
I believe my life somewhat is a character 2 Lucy. Where I am curious about things and open minded to people not knowing if they are of pure kindness of nature or not. I have fallen to people in a financial status because of this. But Life goes on and you try to make do with what you have. Then pray and have faith that the Lord will see you through your next downfall.
Gr8t Movie can't wait to see this latest film!

I'm 57 and I still feel like a kid most of the time so I would say I would be most like Lucy. She was so caring of all and had the sweet innocence but strength she needed to get through things. I lost a brother and a sister within two months of each other from Cancer and it took a lot of strength for me at that time. I see now how important life is now and I appreciate such simple things as my grandkids giving me a hug and a kiss when they come in the door or the warmth of the sushine as it hits my face.
Thanks for a great giveaway!
I am a 5th grader and love the Narnia series. My Grandmother took me to see the movie and then we bought all the books and posters we could find.
I am like Lucy. I am wise beyond my years and other kids come to me for advice. My friends tell me how kind and sincere I am as well as being there for others when they need me.
I have a close relationship with God and know he is always watching over me and hearing my prayers.
I have been waiting for this movie to come out so hope I am a winner.
My favorite character from The Chronicles of Narnia and the character whom I most relate to is Puddleglum the Marsh-wiggle from The Silver Chair. Puddleglum is the author of one of my favorite statements of faith of all time. "Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all of those things—trees and grass and sun and moon and stars and Aslan himself. Suppose we have. Then all I can say is that, in that case, the made-up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones." (The Silver Chair)
Hi all,
I would say that I am most like Aslan in character, because I have always been a quiet achiever and am committed to the things I believe in. Many people have told me I am very wise and they look up to me for my opinions. I do not advise people, but if asked I will give my opinion. I care about every person, animal and thing on the planet and I will fiercely defend anyone who is in trouble.
However according to the quiz, I am most like Lucy, then Edmond, then Aslan (with 77%) - still not a bad likeness to Aslan I feel.
I just loved Aslan in The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe. I was spellbound by him in fact. The movie took me right out of my reality and into theirs. And that's what I call .... A MOVIE!
Thanks for the opportunity to enter this marvelous competition.
Love and Angel Blessings,

PS. Darn it! I live in Australia.
It would be nice if the competition could be extended to account for those who do not live in America.
Thanks,

I just finished reading the third Narnia book (The Voyage of the Dawn Treader), and I discovered that I am very similar to Reepicheep. He loves adventures, stands up for what and who he believes in, and strives to reach the promised land. I also enjoy adventures. I have no fear of standing up for what I believe in, even if it means standing alone. I am constantly striving for my future and the promise of spending eternity with God. Just like Reepicheep, I hold on to the hope of a future I know hardly anything about but find utterly amazing all the same. I am just as awe-struck as Reepicheep was in "Dawn Treader" when he was on his way to the World's End and Aslan's Country.
I suppose, after reading the books for the umpteenth time, though I would like to be Reepicheep or Pattertwig, I would not be so heroic. I am much more like Cornelius, Caspians half dwarf tutor, round and bearded and a student of history. I too aspire to teaching true history, but of this world, and of our faith. So, Cornelus am I, proud to be tutor for a great King (as I have become increasingly proud of all the youth group folks I have known in my decades of youth ministry)
I relate to lucy,she may be the yougest , but I think she is very smart and can very well relate to ?
i registered as:
You are Prince Caspian, who became the rightful heir of Narnia. You have a sharp eye for injustice and a humble heart to improve the world around you. You never quite rely on yourself to make changes; instead, you believe only teamwork can achieve them. As you grow in wisdom, you will learn to trust yourself.
unfortunatly, it's too close for comfort. while i seek to improve myself i find that i lack the courage, sometimes to make the needed changes.
I relate to Lucy. She seems timid but when needed she can be very brave and a force to be recond with.
I think I relate to Prince Caspian. I was a Social Worker for years serving clients who were mentally ill. I will never forget the experience of feeling like I was "helping the world". It was one of the highlights of my life.
I relate to Peter , who is like me in the sence he made a terrible mistake and trusted the evil white witch. In return he was not granted a gift. This goes to show us all , that the decisions we make in life have real and true consequences and even though - WE get in the way of our own selves at time- it does not make us a bad person. He shows us all, that the decision was bad -not him as a person. We all make mistakes and we are better for those mistakes and isn't this truely how we learn as humans, by our mistakes. I believe he is a great character -most like all of us in certain ways- we all have failed to make the right choice at some point in our lives and this is when we grow and shine.
We dearly dearly need more movies like this one.It's bad enough there is so much hate and violence in the world but for years it shows up on the movies and tv.Love you Jesus!!!!!
I see myself as Susan. She is the strong silent type and that is the way I see myself. I love the books, I read them before and lost my copies of all the books. Would love to have them back to reread them and read the further adventures of Narnia. Its a great series.
I would have to choose Lucy. To have a pure heart is to recieve and to give. She is light and she is love. Accepting and yet expecting. hoping,wishing and dreaming. She carries a knowing that is sage;yet her youthful thoughts rise to a wide-eyed child of wonder. Never settling for less,but belief in the what if? or maybe? brings to light that knowing. To think beyond a world of existence and find a realm of what could be is pure imagination! To see a means to an end in another light;Why! its pure magic.......
Honestly,on any given day or moment I can relate to all of the characters.I do volunteer work in a hospital and talk to patients as an advocate for them.In this I meet individuals that require one trait or another of all the characters.
Patience,humility,and being a servant of God is required.
Thanks
I think this is a wonderful program and i love my god, he has brought me through a lot of troubles and I thank him daily.Continue to bring things this to people who may not know god,bring them to the truth that there is a god and hem answers prayers. I am living pproof of that. Thank You and God Bless You
The character I relate most to is Lucy. She helped the with Faith and eyes of Jesus. She believed in her heart ,did the right thing when no one was looking and never doubted God would take care of all of them. She was truly what it means to walk by Faith. I wish I had the faith of Lucy in everyday life ,just to know without a doubt things always work out. Wow.
I am 'comfortable' with Susan, the somewhat introverted, concerned sister...I think that she exhibits the inner strength and grace that we all strive to achieve.
All of them.It was a depiction of the world we live in. Sort of daring us to find our own character in the chronicle. Daring us all to look at ourselves, our friends and our family members. We all know someone that was portrayed by one of the characters personally.And in the midts of it all we live and learn. Staring truth in the face, and hopefully acting on that truth.
I think that I would like to say that I am like Lucy. Her unfailing belief that everything would be all right. But this would be wishful thinking I often doubt, and even though I know that God is awesome I am human and am afraid.
Thank you for this opportunity. I think the sister Susan matches me the most. I to am an older sister and with that comes a lot of responsibility and worry. I find that I'm not open to the wonders around me as I would like to be. Susan has the ability to see life in all its glory, but sometimes needs a reminder. Lucy gets her to stop and really take stock of the moment and look deeper than just the surface of things. Sometimes I worry so much about my family and about all the things that could go wrong. Being an elder girl I was expected to provide for and nurture the younger ones. I was my mother's right hand. I can see how Susan tried to be surportive to her siblings. Unfortunately, younger kids can sometimes take offense of the support or advice being offered. They feel an elder kid has not the authority or experience to help, because the elder is a kid too. I however learned to have faith that I could fix most things on my own. I had to accept things I couldn't change. I gave it up to God to do the rest. I meet him halfway and hope for the best. Susan has some of that faith even when she was worried. I believe that shows her courage in the face of her fear. Like Susan, I get reminders to open my heart and mind from my younger sister. I'll remind her to have faith in herself and God. Now that she has a little one the way maybe she'll see something of what she put me through. I'm surprized I don't have more white hair;)
Susan is who I relate to most. My name is Susan also and may name is described in biblical terms as "Lily of the Valley". She is also very courageous and kind.
I relate to Prince Caspian the most because I always want to make the world a better place. I enjoy volunteering & helping others & learn new things on the way. I also believe in teamwork and working together on goals.
I think I I am like the prince in that I know that I have been picked to make like better, Not just for Myself But My people as a whole. there are those who will fight the things that have to be done , but being put in the frount has made me see all that are in need and feel that I, must help them to where GOD wants them to get to.
I've always liked Lucy from when I was a little girl, her faith and wonder to me was inspiring complete with the magc of it all. :)
I relate to Asland. He is good and kind. He reminds me of our God.
Without Aslan's guidence and courage, we are lost. I remember from reading all of the seven books that Aslan is also known as the Son of the Emperor.
I believe I relate more to Aslan, the great lion. He has discipline, honor and respect for all creatures.
I relate to Susan. She loves Aslan and wants to do the right thing, but sometimes is slow to act because of her practical nature. That we all could have the faith and wonder of Lucy!
It's hard to align yourself with just one character since these stories touch our very souls. We all fight the battles of good and evil all the time and most of us wish we had a magical place to go to where ou can see the good and the evil more clearly
I relate more to Mr.Tumnus more than anyone else. He has a kind and gentile nature about him. Is willing to lend a helping hand whenever it is needed.Mr.Tumnus also has a hidden strength in side him that he unselfishly supports others with (an example of this is shown at the end of the movie when Aslan is leaving Tumnus returns the hankie to Lucy and gives her just the support she needs). Mr.Tunnus has the air of nobility about him for lack of a better word or descrition.He works quietly in the back ground,boisting spirts here,loading bricks there,listening to a friend in need,and showing respect for those around him. But if this is not enough then his final gift is music he blows on his pipes some times fast,sometimes slow,always with spirt. I live my life in a simular fashion helping whenever I can. listening to my family/friends in time of need, lending sugestions when able, Giving a hug when only that will do. My life is richer for living like this, and with all of the potholes , and speed bumps,and detore signs that this world of ours has to offer we all need to find our worth.
thank you. Michael Thurston
its hard to choose just one...i think, its Mr. Tumnus...he's kind and thoughtful. Has diffuculty facing pressure, when making wrong decisions he trys despertly to choose the right. He takes responsiblity for his actions even when that could cause him harm.(Discipline, at the moment is hard, but in the end brings forth great fruit)I think his character shows real humanity. I like that he's flawed...I am.
I think Aslan is my favorite character because of the relationship to Jesus. When he is killed on the Stone Table it is so symbolic of Jesus dying for us on the cross. I'm a teacher and we read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe every year and it is my students' favorite of the books we read. They love Aslan, too.
Assuming Peter is the oldest of the four children, I'll chose him insomuch that even tho I'm an only child, having been first born that would be my place and it seems that through out my life, reluctant as I may be ,I am often thrust into a position of leadership. Through the grace of GOD I usually do quite well.
I relate to each and everyone of the characters. Everyone have a good and bad side. But at the end Good win over Bad. I'm strong in somethings and I'm also weak in other things. Like each character when good band together the weak becomes strong. And together they overcome what is negative or bad.
It would be Susan she's caring loving and brave.Even though she's not a mother she has the qualaties of a mother.And I can relate to her.
I do believe it would be Susan, she is a very caring person.A christian neeeds christ like care for others and that would be her.I work daily to be christ like .
So hard to choose one, but probably Susan. Have some ability and compassion, but can also be stubborn and too cautious when the right way looks like the hard way. Also thankful that Jesus loves me anyway.
I would have to choose 4 charaters, Aslan, Peter, Susan, and Beaver.
Aslan because he's like God and I try very hard to be a godly person, Peter because of his leadership, Susan because of her gentleness and motherly aspects, and beaver because of his wisdom.
All these charters are Christ like in their own way and I believe I have these characterics in me too.
I relate to Edmund the most. I have been a Christian for my whole life. I grew up in church and was taught right from wrong at an early age. As a teenager and young adult, like Edmund, I made some wrong choice that affected myself and all those around me. Edmund made the decision to lure his brothers and sisters to Narnia for the White Witch. I, myself, decided to not take high school seriously and wound up in classes that did not challenge me intellectually. Edmund was saved from the White Witch by Aslan's sacrifice. I felt the Lord's grace when I met my wonderful wife 15 years ago in college. We have been married for 13 years and have a wonderful 8 year old daughter. Edmund knew what was right and wrong but failed to go the road lest traveled but was saved from death by Aslan. I traveled the same road but was saved by Jesus Christ's sacrifice.
I think that I identify most with Lucy. She was so brave when she found out Mr. Tumus had been taken. She was willing to do whatever it took to help a friend eventhough she had just met him. She also had a close relationship with Aslan. I see myself having these qualities.
The Narnia character I relate to most is Susan. (Warning to those who have not read the entire Chronicles … major spoiler ahead.) To me, she is the most fascinating of the personalities created by Lewis, because she remains a mystery. Whereas all the other characters end up in “Real Narnia,” Susan is left back in the “real world” when her siblings die in the train crash. In The Last Battle, we learn she has dismissed her life in Narnia as childhood fantasies, and is unable to enter “Real Narnia.” How Susan spends her life after the death of her three siblings, and if she ever returns to faith is left unanswered by Lewis. Although she was a strong leader and caring queen while in Narnia, the temptations of secular England challenged her faith, and she got too wrapped up in the world to continue on with her belief. Although I have not lost my faith, it is a struggle to believe in a God who is Love, while living in a world plagued with so much suffering. Childhood faith is an easy thing to have; however, with the onset of adulthood comes a maturity that forces you to question things that were so easily believed in youth. With due respect for Jesus’ praise of “faith like a child,” the reality is faith, like everything other aspect of life, needs to grow and develop. The intricacies of Susan’s loss of faith are never fleshed out by Lewis, but I find myself relating a lot more with someone who struggles with belief than those who seem to have no questions about it. Did Susan ever return to faith in the Son of the Emperor-Over-the-Sea? We can never know, but one thing I am certain of is the grace of Aslan can penetrate the most broken of souls and soften the hardest of hearts.
Peter, who became the High King of Narnia. I'm a born leader who everyone naturally gravitates to for guidance and inspiration. I often feel the burden of responsibility, but I always do what's right because I possess strong morals. Blessed with a golden heart, I always want to help others seek justice.
I would have to choose 3 charaters. Lucy, Susan, and Aslan. Lucy because of her additude, personality and spirit; always ready for adventures and excitement. Susan because of her gentleness and love of peace. And Aslan, for he repusents God and because I always try to become closer to Him/God. For I am a Christian trying as hard as I can to walk the path of a strong Christian. All of these charaters are Christ like in their own way and some part of me has the same personality too.
I believe I relate to Lucy the most. I am the yougest of four. No one ever believed a word I said because I was the youngest. But after a while people started to believe me becasue the started to see the i was telling the truth and was the whole entire time. Another reason why is because she was always wondering off exploring the outdoors, when i cant be found it is because i am outside exploring the creek and the woods that were right by my house.
I am most like High King Peter
I am on the cusp between Susan and Lucy. Both are loyal and honorable, but not quite sure that they are the best person for the job. I tend to sit back and listen, while others make decisions. However, when I am truly passionate, I will stand up and do whatever I can to help.
Andrea Vincent? not Donovan by any chance?
I think I am most like Lucy. I try to see the good in all people no matter what. I think that like Lucy I am a compassionate person and have a gentle heart.I am also fiercely loyal to my family and friends.
