Why does the poet most likely include this allusion to C. S.

Lewis's book The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe?

O 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

O 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
