Lewis 5-8

Chapter V
What is Screwtape’s idea on the best way for humans to die?  Why? 
I will admit that this part was sort of confusing. I interpret this as Screwtape wants every human to die by way of not knowing when they will die. Therefore, they will not come to know the "enemy" because they don't think that they're on their death bed. Lewis uses the example of men going to war and thinking they're going to die. So those men are prepared for death, as in, some of those men chose to be with the "enemy" because they want to go to heaven when they die.

Chapter VI
How does “...malice thus becomes wholly real and the benevolence largely imaginary” (28)?  How does this apply to your life? 
The way that Lewis is speaking of is that malice becomes real when you start to become mean and "hate" others that do wrong to you. Benevolence becomes imaginary when the only people you are "good" to is the people in the window of your favorite drive through food place. This affects me because when I examine myself, I can be exactly like this. I become so use to my friends that maybe I "joke" around too much and am just mean. On the other hand, I'm never mean to those people in Mc. Donalds who give me the large french fries even though I'll never see them again. What I'm trying to get at is that you should do good to all men, doesn't matter who they are.
Chapter VII
How do you picture the devil?  What does this chapter challenge you about regarding the spiritual warfare over your soul?
I feel like Screwtape is actually teasing me because I think like what he was teasing. I think that devils are these gross looking, red suited demons with pitchforks and horns on their head. Mostly, because that is what society has painted devils to look like. I really need to keep in check, and really just remind myself that I am in a spiritual warfare because sometimes I do forget. I am like a pacifist in the way that I just let things go because it's just "what happens." I need to remember that I have to keep fighting.
Chapter VIII
What is the “law of Undulation” (37)?  Give an example of this in your life.  
"... the repeated return to a level from which they repeatedly fall back, a series of troughs and peaks." 
When I read this, I think that it means as humans we never want to just go through life but to grow through life. Therefore, when we sin or do something bad, as Christians we try to stray away from that sin and grow in God. Although, we are likely to repeat the same mistake. This is where the "Law of Undulation" come in. For myself, I cheat in school. Weather it be just trying to finish up some math homework at lunch time or just got lazy. I know it's wrong, and I really try to stop it and just do it myself. Though, when another busy week comes by it's just so much easier to cheat.
“Our cause is never more in danger, than when a human, no longer desiring, but intending, to do our Enemy's will, looks round upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys” (40).  What are your thoughts on this? The way I interpret this is that as Christians we become hardwired to try to do God's commands. Through life, maybe we forget why we're doing it and we just do it. Screwtape doesn't like this either because in essence it's still obeying the "enemy." Although, from a Christian perspective I wouldn't say it's bad, but it's not good either. It's not good because you have no thought in your brain that you're trying to glorify God with what you're doing. Therefore, it's honestly pointless.
