    Dear Diary,
    Today I found myself in a wardrobe . I saw several fur coat hanging up .
    I was among them,as I went further, the soft coat felt rough and prickly, just like a branch of trees . A moment later I felt snow under my feet as snowflakes were falling through the air .
    I felt a little frighted but very excited too . Ahead of me between a dark tree trunk, a light was shinning . I walked toward it crunch crunch over the snow . it was a lamp post! . As i wonder why a lamp post was in the middle of the wood, I heard a pity patter of feet, then a very strange person came out among the trees.
    I was surprise , from the waist upward like a man but his feet shaped like a goat .
    Good evening I said to the strange man . Good evening he replied . The strange looking man ask me if I was the daughter of eve ? my name is Lucy I replied . The faun ask me if I was called girl? yes I replied . He said his name was Tumnus . please to meet you I replied . Tumnus the faun ask me how I got there? he said this was the land Narnia everything that lies between the lamp post and the great castle of Cair Parvel on the east sea. I told him I got there through a spare room .
    The faun thought I was from a strange country . Mr Tumnus as me to stay for tea but I replied no . We walked together holding hands like we have known each other for a long time .
    I love my adventure today.

    I think Lucy might have gone into the wardrobe because she was curious about what was in there.
    She felt cold because she wasn’t wearing a coat since back at home it was summer.
    She made a “crunch crunch” sound.
    I assume she was because she’d never seen a person with real life horns.

    Gold
    False- She made “crunch” noises.
    False- It had the face of a man but had horns and goat feet.

    I think the characters are feeling upset and a little worried because of the war. They were sent away on a train because of this. Silver. Because it was getting cold she wanted to know what was in there. Lucy was surprised of the hole because it was the land of Narnia. Lucy made a crunch crunch noise as she walked through the snow. I don’t think Lucy was afraid because she spoke to the faun nicely.

    Dear Diary
    Today I went to a professor’s house and I looked at a wardrobe while my brothers and sister were going out; then I entered a looking-glass door. I felt frightened but excited at the same time. I walked in and saw some fluffy coats. As I touched them, they felt prickly like a tree branch. Then, I appeared to a land called Narnia and it felt cold. It was freezing because it was winter.

    In Picture 1. The Picture shows that the environment is warm and cosy and it looks like they are not in some sort of den which is lit up with lanterns. The children seem to be a bit dazzled and confused as they are sitting at a table and listening intensely to a bear talking.

    In Picture 2. It looks like a battle has taken place in an open field, the character looks wounded and the other character is comforting him. It looks like he is trying to say something before he dies.
