Captured soldiers are summarily executed, the commanders of the invaders having determined that the term "prisoner of war" will no longer be used. Thousands are executed, their bodies buried in the Ten Thousand Corpse Ditch. Young men thought to be soldiers are burned or buried alive, nailed to trees, even hung by the tongue until they die. Pregnant women and babies are treated the worst, mutilated to death in unimaginable ways. Today the survivors of the Nanking Massacre, now in their seventies and eighties, still recount the terrible things that happened over six weeks in 1937.

Jesus says to them, “take heart, it is I; do not be afraid,” and then he boards the boat. The disciples are astounded by this, because they still do not understand about Jesus. In Matthew, Jesus is walking towards the boat, instead of around it.

Please help me! Please help me!” and “I’m dying” (Gansberg 121).

Narnia interpreted as a Christian allegory Aslan: It is not hard to see the similarities between Aslan and Jesus Christ. He sacrifices himself in exchange for Edmund’s life, and thus he dies for the sin of man, just as Jesus did. The witch and her followers humiliate Aslan before his death, just as the soldiers tormented Jesus before and while he is crucified. When Aslan resurrects, the stone table is torn in two, just as the stone in front of the grave of Jesus has rolled away, when Mary and Mary return to the grave. When Jesus dies, the curtain in the temple is torn in two as well.
