chapter 8-in the house of the tisroc

So Aravis is trying to escape the town of tashbaan to meet up with Shasta at the tombs so they can being their journey all the way to Narnia.  However she gets separated and must find a way to get out of her situation.  Her and her friend both sneak into the Tisroc's conference room because it's the only way to escape without being noticed and find themselves trapped when the Tisroc himself come in with his son to talk.  Personally I don't see why they couldn't have just walked out the front door.

chapter 4- Shasta falls in with the Narnians

So after Shasta is picked up by the Narnians, he is asked many questions about where he was and how he escaped.  Shasta has no idea on how he supposed to escape and go to the tombs.  Anyways the kings and queens stop asking him questions they start talking about this prince rabadash and how he wants to marry queen susan.  It's all kind of confusing.

chapter 4- Shasta falls in with the Narnians

The goal was to get through this big city called Tashbaan and to not be noticed.  However they kept having to stop when going through the richer part of town because important people would pass by often.  Unfortunatley they dont make it out of the city because Shasta is taken by the royal Narnians passing by.  They mistake him for the kings son because apperently he ran away too.  that really sucks because I wanted them to make it to Narnia all together.
