Cs Lewis Research Paper

C.S Lewis was born on November 29th 1998 and died on November 22nd 1963, a week before his sixty-fifth birthday. Lewis was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, he was a white, Irish man.

In the two poems that were stated I saw similarities in theme, they both are patriotic and have something to do with America. I think that these themes have something to do with the fact that he was in the war when he was younger.

He emphasizes the fact that people don't understand by saying that they are blind or
