When I first read the prompt ...Oh, that's true! When I first read the prompt I thought of The Princess Bride, but then I remembered this scene and it is more dramatic because instead of just climbing a cliff, someone falls. That would be a nightmare, and even us like Jill wouldn't deal well near that cliff. The first time I read The Last Battle I didn't like it and promptly forgot it. When I reread it I actually really liked it, but it is so sad, I totally understand why it is most people's least favorite. The characters are wonderful! The Silver Chair was a little hard for me the first time because it is the bleakest of all of them, but the second and third times through went so quickly I barely noticed it.Chloe the MovieCritichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02200752624092560917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354853575539461524.post-16214821204098542492020-08-02T08:24:19.979-06:002020-08-02T08:24:19.979-06:00I can totally see that, McKayla!

Heights in general don't bother me, but ledges make me nervous, too. I've seen too many movies with characters struggling on them... Oh man, and the fear of dropping things is real! One of the reasons that I always take the stairs instead of an elevator, because I <i>always</i> think I'll drop something. ;DChloe the MovieCritichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02200752624092560917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354853575539461524.post-5453513769010255042020-08-01T08:17:28.217-06:002020-08-01T08:17:28.217-06:00I'm more like Eustace with heights definitely,...I'm more like Eustace with heights definitely, which is probably why this prompt appealed to me, there is so much drama in cliff scenes, especially when you are afraid. The Silver Chair one is definitely a memorable one. I have to say, I don't love the Silver Chair, although I love Jill and Eustace, it's probably my 2nd least favorite, I've been re-reading Narnia and it took me awhile to get through that one (still stuck fast in my least favorite, The Last Battle, which is said because I love Jill, Eustace, and Tirian).Livia Rachellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755623391278276925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3354853575539461524.post-40354382853512370422020-07-16T14:55:33.885-06:002020-07-16T14:55:33.885-06:00The Silver Chair is great.

GOOD ONE! <3<br /><br />Mmmmm.... it depends on the height in question. I absolutely love wide spreading, high up alpine-ish places and mountaintops, but not so much steep trails or ledges on the face of a mountain itself (if that makes sense). And I'm always paranoid leaning over the edges of high bridges, lest I irretrievably drop something. ;D (Speaking of which, we'll have to space them out, but there're two more great prompts for the future!) From experience, I can absolutely see myself acting like there's nothing to it then freaking out on the edge, though, so all in all, maybe more like Jill?Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418854988524303306noreply@blogger.com
