Likes And Dislikes About "Out Of The Silent Planet"

I think C.S. Lewis wrote a great book here. I liked it for a lot of reasons, especially for certain reasons. For instance, how does a hross hold a paddle? (A hross is a seal-like creature with fins instead of hands.)

In this story, an old schoolmate named, Devine and a physiologist named, Weston, kidnap Dr. Ransom. They took him to a planet named Malachandra, which turns out to be Mars. On this planet, there are creatures, such as the hrossa and sorns.

There are a lot of hrossa, sorns, and pfiffletrigi, in Malachandra. These are all creatures that can learn how to speak quickly. The sornsare dreamers who dream up things that the pfiffletrigi build, and the pfiffletrigi usually only build things that are useful to look at. The hrossa are poets and think that books destroy the meaning of poetry. All of these creatures are lead by Oyarse… a god-like being.

I liked this story very much except that the last chapter seemed boring to me. Being a fourth grader, it is difficult to understand some of the larger words. However, I can’t wait to read “Perelandra!”
