Out of the Silent Planet

Hey, sorry this is soooo late. And it's really short. But at least it's finally up here.

Most of us have gotten to know C.S. Lewis’ literature: both fiction and nonfiction. (Anyone who knows me knows I’ve really gotten to know some of his stuff.) One of Lewis’ interesting fiction series is his space trilogy. In the first book, Out of the Silent Planet, we are introduced to Ransom, who will lead us beyond our own planet to the land of Malacandra, which is known to us as Mars. Ransom had been kidnapped by two men: Weston and Devine. They took him to the planet Malacandra to appease the mysterious Sorns. When he runs away though, he meets a Hross, one of the three races of Malacandra. He later meets the Pfifltriggi and finally the Sorns. He discovers that the Sorns are not his enemies despite their huge, fearsome appearance. I think this is a good connection to our society because so often people are judged for their appearances. But sometimes, the ones that don’t fit in are kinder than the people you thought were like you. Although, in my opinion, this isn’t Lewis’ best work, I still have to say it was pretty good.
