I just finished it *SPOILERS*

High country or plains? I live on the plains of Colorado. I can't imagine leaving the wide open space to live somewhere surrounded by trees. That would make me claustrophobic.

I have been to CO before, and it is beautiful there. But I wouldn't want to live anywhere but here in the mountains of East Tennessee. I don't feel claustrophobic at all. I went to Texas a few years ago on a business trip thing and I remember thinking...."Man I cannot wait to get home to the hills, mountains, and trees." It was so unbelievably flat. To me, mountains are MUCH better. :)
 
Isn't it funny? I grew up in the desert in AZ, and you could see for miles into the sunset or off to the mountains far in the east ... I miss it! Now I live in the piney woods, and I would love to see the sun set over the flat, tan desert again with nothing but land, lots of land and starry skies above ...
 
Yea, I guess when you are born and raised in a certain place your heart just yearns for that kind of place again. Being in TN my entire life I couldn't imagine living anywhere else.

I was born and raised in Wyoming, and I don't yearn for the sideways snow and below zero weather for weeks on end in the winter. But I do know what you mean.

very true. i live in vancouver on the west coast, and i love living next to the ocean, mountains and the coniferous trees. whenever i go travelling, i do pine a bit for my home scenery.

calingaladha, have you read LWW and if you have did what symbolism or allegory did you notice in that?

After Lewis became a Christian, he also wrote to explain the logics behind believing in God. I read Mere Christianity last summer, and he masterfully explains the logical reasons for belief in God which is not easy to do; showing others and explaining the unseen. But this was my take on the book. Anyone else read Mere Christianity? If so, maybe a new thread is in order.

That was such a great idea- it's one of my favourite books ever, so I've started one. Thanks for the inspiration.
 
Maybe when Eustace and Jill were at the station, they were somehow killed in the accident. That's what i always assumed.
 
They can't die in the train crash -- they are in Narnia already. If that were true, they would had to have been in two places at once.
 
From what I read everyone was involve in train crash. It appears the train had a braking problem, derailed and crashed into the station where Peter and Edmund (who had the rings) were waiting for the train. Jill, Eustace, Lucy, Aunt Polly and the Professor were on the train. Also by chance the Pevensie Parents happen to be also on the train too. I guess Aslan transported them all away as they died and their bodies were never discovered in the wreckage. Only Susan was not present.

"...So Peter and Edmond were to meet us at a place on the way down to school...- and the Professor and Aunt Polly and Lucy came with us...And we were just getting to the station where the others were to meet us, and I was looking out of the window to see if I could see them when suddenly there came a most frightful jerk and a noise: and there we were in Narnia"

- Eustace, Page 50-51 Lions Edition

"There was a real railway accident." said Aslan softly, "Your father and mother and all of you are - as you used to call it in the Shadowlands - dead."

-Page 171 Lions Edition

I know there's another quote, but I cannot find it. Eustace and Jill were on the train when it crashed, and from what we were given we could only assume that they died in the crash

Why did Eustace and Jill arrive so much earlier in Narnia than the rest if they were all in the same crash? I am confused.

By the rest do you mean Peter, Edmund, Polly , Lucy, and Digory? Becasue they never got to Narnia, they went to Aslan's Country, and so I think that they went there as soon as Jill and Eustace went to Narnia...but like Unleavened said, time is irrelevent to God...
