In the book Prince Caspian by C.S Lewis there was a certain amount of bravery that no one can encounter. Prince Caspian was very confused when he found out that we was going to be king of Narnia. He thought of himself as unworthy as his uncle because of the way he had treated some of the animals. Just because you think yourself unworthy doesn't mean you aren't worthy.
To be king you need to be a son of Adam or a daughter of Eve. Although Caspian was not a son of Adam he still had the heart and potential to be king of Narnia. Narnia was a place to be full of animals and trees that is why Aslan was always there in the mist awaiting his return. Aslan was a magical and brave lion he had many words of wisdom that always were helpful. For example Aslan spoke " Once the feet are put right, the rest will follow." This quote means that if you guide a person a little they will eventually know the right way. But the reason Aslan chose Caspian to be king was because Caspian thought he was not ready which meant that he was ready to be king. Aslan wasn't the only one that was brave.
Caspian was very brave because he wanted to fight his own uncle even if it meant dying and never having the old Narnia restored. Having the courage and support Caspian had was the best feeling you could ever feel. When Caspian was little he was treated like dirt by his uncle Miraz. But now since Caspian is older and has met the old Narnians he feels accepted. A few times in my life I felt like I didn't belong, sometimes I feel like the only reason I have friends is because I play sports. I can't help just picture myself as if I never did sports. I know now that I would be supported if I was to quit sports. Caspian I am sure felt exactly as I did.
Courage and Bravery are a key thing to having a successful life. But sometimes the only thing you need is to trust and believe. Caspian put on a great example of trust and belief because he had heard the stories of the olden days. He wanted Narnia to be like the old times. So next time if someone tells you there is a secret world in a wardrobe believe them!
