Thesis and Outline / blog 28

Thesis:
The movie the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe tells about how an intense friendship can change someone's personality and make him mature; just like Edmund in the movie, who changed from a selfish, cowardly and childish betrayer to a strong leader who cares about others after establishing an intense friendship with Aslan, the true king of Narnia.

Outline:
A strong and intense relationship can change someone's personality entirely.
The novel Me And You shows about how a positive relationship can give a person hope and change his personality entirely; just like Lorenzo in the book, who changed from an introversive kid who doesn't care about anyone to a boy who has love, hope and determination after establishing a relationship with Olivia, his half sister. In Me And You, Lorenzo was a kid with some mental disorders. He did not care about anyone else instead of his parents and his grandma, and didn't know how to make friends. Even though he was very smart, he still couldn't handle his emotion especially his rage. After he met Olivia, his half sister and spent the whole week with her in the basement, a huge change had occurred on him. He started caring for others that are not related to him, and he wanted to help others. Olivia's come had given him hope to make friends and improve himself in different ways. Similar to Me And You, the movie the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe shows how an intense friendship can change someone's personality and make him mature; just like Edmund in the movie, who changed from a selfish, cowardly and childish betrayer to a strong leader who cares about others after establishing an intense friendship with Aslan, the true king of Narnia. Edmund was a kid who lacks attention from others and sometimes feeling ignored; for gaining attentions from the others, he decided to believe the queen and bring his siblings to the castle. He thought that the queen would treat his family members as nice as how she treated him, and then they would pay their attention on him which makes him feel not ignored. He then was imprisoned by the queen because instead of not bringing his siblings here, he brought a news that the last king Aslan was back. Aslan sacrificed his life and rescued Edmund, which made Edmund feel really ashamed. When Aslan came alive, he and Edmund became very good friends, which encourages Edmund to be braver and eventually made him an excellent fighter and leader. They won the battle with the witch, which enclosed their relationship and made Edmund more confident. The two stories are pretty similar that the two characters both changed and improved their personalities after established an intense relationship with the others, but they are different because in Me And You, Olivia is a pretty negative person and in Narnia, Aslan is a really positive character. The first one changed Lorenzo's personality because of his pity to his sister and wanting both of them to become better, and the second one changed Edmund because of his shame to his peers and the desire to be as shiny as them.
No matter how the person that has a relationship with you is, he/she could truly change your personality and make you a better person.
