Read the excerpt from “A Poem for My Librarian, Mrs. Long.”

And Mrs. Long opened that wardrobe
But no lions or witches scared me
I went through
Knowing there would be
Spring

Why does the poet most likely include this allusion to C.S. Lewis’s book The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe?

to emphasize that reading frightening tales made the speaker feel confident and strong
to help illustrate that the speaker read a variety of imaginary tales and children’s books
to help show that books were a source of comfort and imagination for the speaker
to highlight the idea that the speaker relied on the librarian to find interesting books to read

The poet most likely includes this allusion to C.S. Lewis's book The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe to help show that books were a source of comfort and imagination for the speaker. In The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, a key element of the story involves children stepping into a magical world through a wardrobe. By referencing this, the poet is highlighting the transformative power of books and how they can transport the reader to different realms of imagination. This helps to convey that for the speaker, books were a source of solace and escape, much like the characters in Lewis's book.

Have you read C.S. Lewis’s book The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe? I think you need to have read it, or at least know what it’s about, in order to make the connection here.
