Chapter 11 Vocabulary After Edmund’s arrival the White Witch lost no time. She 1 her

reindeer and they took off in her 2 at once. Edmund was feeling very depressed because all he’d had to eat was

3 bread that tasted awful and a little water. He regretted his 4 and 5 because he’d begun to realize that all the Turkish Delight in the world and being made King of Narnia wouldn’t mean anything if it were to cost the lives of his brother and sisters.

The race through the night in the White Witch’s sledge was a

nightmare for Edmund who was freezing from the cold. When the White Witch drew up alongside a party of animals all the 6 left their faces!

Poor Edmund!! He was so hungry and he was sure he saw a __7__ and other wonderful things to eat that reminded him very much of Christmas.

him across the face. But soon it began to grow warmer and suddenly it was quite __8___ and difficult to see. The snow was beginning to 9 and turn to slush. The White Witch was furious.

____11_____ of birds as they ___12___ on the trees. There was the sound of running water, and everywhere he looked he could see the signs of spring.

Critical Analysis

1. The coming of spring marks a turning point in the story. When the author says the trees “shook off their robes of snow,” what kind of picture does this create in your mind? List how many words or expressions the author uses in this chapter to signal the end of winter.

2. The fact that Edmund tries to stop the White Witch from

turning the animals to stone for celebrating the coming of spring is also a turning point in the story. From this point on, Edmund begins to feel sorry for someone other than himself. What do you think this change means in terms of what will happen to Edmund in the end?

five minutes seem to pass at the exact same speed no matter what you’re doing?

• Think of times in your life when it seemed that “time stood still.” Jot them down. Now think of times in your life when it seemed that “time sped by.” Jot them down.
