Lewis' "Surprise By Joy": Analysis
2750 Words - 10 Pages

.... as a scholar, a novelist, and a theologian for three very different audiences. In Surprised by Joy (1956), written seven years before his death, Lewis helps to shed light on all "three Lewises" in his most personal book. As such, Surprised by Joy represents one of the few works within the Lewis canon that speaks directly and unabashedly about his personal life. Given the almost stifling attention that Lewis's private life has received since his death in 1963, Surprised by Joy stands apart as an astonishingly candid yet self-effacing volume by one widely-regarded as the premier Christian apologist of the twentieth century. Lewis proceeds in Surprised by Joy as one r ....

The Choice

.... in their best interest and only theirs. Free trade will benefit the whole country in the long run at the expense of inefficient companies. This is the other problem, how many individuals would be willing to close their inefficient plants so the country as a whole could become more efficient, not many that I know. Totally free trade sounds good in theory but in my mind will never happen because each individual is going to look out for his or hers own interest, which quotas and tariffs support in the short-term and not the interest of society as a whole. The story began in the heavenly court where a young English economist named Dave Ricardo. He believed the United States is ....

.... when you might need it. Cletus collected things because he felt everything had a story in it. He mostly collected pictures and pamphlets. Cletus and Calvin (from Monkey Island) are both a little "strange" but they both mean well. Cletus collects stories and Calvin writes them. Ob from Missing May and Clay's mother from Monkey Island both seemed lost. They were both caught in a world of disillusion and denial. Ob couldn't believe that May was gone and Clay's mother had a baby coming and was terribly confused. In the end, they both seemed to find peace. I preferred Monkey Island because it seemed the most real to me. I couldn't "exactly" relate but I know what it feels lik ....
