Here are suggested answers for the short essay questions for chapters 9-12

33. Edmund‘s lonely walk to the Witch’s house is long and tiresome. It is dark and cold, and Edmund keeps slipping in the cold snowdrifts.

34. When Edmund left the beaver’s house, he did not want any harm to come to his siblings; he simply wanted to be a prince and then a king, and he wanted to be warm and have more Turkish Delight.

35. When Edmund reaches the gate to the Witch’s courtyard, he finds himself face to face with a lion. Edmund stands very still for a long time, afraid the lion will attack. After a while, Edmund realizes the lion is not looking at him, but at a dwarf with its back to the lion. Then he realizes that both the lion and the dwarf are made of stone. Edmund pulls out a pen and draws a moustache on the lion.

36. When Edmund reaches her house, the White Witch demands to know why Edmund did not bring his siblings. Edmund tells her that they would not come, but that they are close by at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Beaver. Then he tells her about Aslan and where they are supposed to meet him.

37. Before leaving their house with the Pevensie children, Mrs. Beaver insists on packing a bag full of supplies for the trip, and Mr. Beaver insists on locking the door to his house, hoping it will slow down the police force looking for him.

38. Father Christmas greets everyone and then tells Mr. and Mrs. Beaver what their presents will be this year. Mrs. Beaver is to receive a brand new sewing machine and Mr. Beaver will receive a finished dam.

39. To Peter, Father Christmas gives a sword and shield in order to protect himself in battle. To Susan, Father Christmas offers a bow and arrow, and a horn that will summon help no matter where she is. He also tells Susan that she is not to use her weapons in times of battle.

40. To Lucy, Father Christmas offers a knife for protection, although she, too, will not be able to use it in the battle. In addition, Father Christmas gives Lucy a diamond bottle filled with a magic cordial that will heal with a drop.

41. Edmund is hungry for Turkish Delight and finally gets up the courage to ask for it. The White Witch at first refuses, then changes her mind. The Witch sends for another dwarf whom she orders to bring food. Minutes later, Edmund is presented with stale bread and water.

42. Edmund is miserable in the sledge because it is the middle of the night, bitterly cold, and snowing. He has no coat and is freezing. When the sun comes up, there is no relief because Edmund is wet to the bone and is also very hungry

43. The White Witch stops her sledge when she sees a group of creatures sharing a plum pudding. When she demands to know where the creatures got the pudding, they tell her, Father Christmas. The White Witch is so angry that she turns them all into stone.

44. The melting snow impedes their way. Soon there are large patches of green grass, flowers beginning to grow, and birds are chirping. The dwarf beats the reindeer, and he and Edmund get out several times to break the sledge free of mud, but soon they can go no further. Finally, the White Witch decides they must walk.

45. When they first get to the Stone Table where Aslan is, the Pevensie children are afraid at first, each pushing the other to approach Aslan. It is Peter who steps forward and greets him. Aslan greets each in turn.

46. Mr. Beaver tells of Edmund’s betrayal, which causes Peter and Lucy to jump to their brother’s defense. Aslan promises that all will be done to save Edmund.

47. Aslan sends the girls to prepare for a feast while he speaks with Peter. Aslan shows Peter the sea and Cair Paravel, explaining that Peter will be High King because he is the first born.

48. When he hears Susan’s horn, Peter runs to the pavilion to find Lucy and Susan running out with a wolf right on their heels. Peter pulls out his sword and charges the wolf. The wolf turns on Peter and howls. Before the wolf can finish, Peter plunges his sword into the wolf’s heart.

    3. “And she [Lucy] stopped looking at the dazzling brightness of the frozen river with all its waterfalls of ice and at the white masses of the tree-tops and the great glaring moon and the countless stars and could only watch the little short legs of Mr. Beaver going pad-pad-pad-pad through the snow in front of her as if they were never going to stop.” (pp. 112-113).
