The Hobbit
I read The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. This book is a fantasy, fiction book much like most of Tolkien’s work. Although this book is intended for children, it is not toned down for them as there are some darker moments. The title describes the main character Bilbo Baggins who is a hobbit. Some versions of the book are subtitled There and Back Again. This describes the journey that takes place in the book and is also the name of the memoir Bilbo begins writing at the end of the book. The main characters of the book are the hobbit Bilbo Baggins, the wizard Gandalf, and the dwarves Thorin, Fili, Kili, Balin, Dwalin, Oin, Gloin, Dori, Nori, Ori, Bifur, Bofur, and Bomber. Bilbo begins the story cautious and timid but by the end of the story he is …show more content…
“Do you wish me a good morning, or is it a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?” This quote perfectly represents the books fanciful and light nature. I enjoyed the sense of adventure in this book. The grandness of the adventure was aided by the mention of the passage of time. By the time the story is done, a year has passed since the adventure’s start. I also enjoyed the books quick and light-heated nature of the story. Even the books darker moments had a whimsical twist. My only major criticism of the book is that I felt that some parts of the book where drawn out a little too long and that more time was spent of certain scenes than necessary. Some of the more archaic writing conventions can be difficult to understand at times. Those who enjoy a more upbeat and whimsical story but also want to experience a grand adventure would enjoy this book. I would recommend this book for its excellent plot and incredible imagery. However, parts of the book can be a bit hard too follow at times due to the different writing style of the time it was

The Third Twin Quotes
811 Words | 4 PagesThe plot, the setting, the characters were all wonderful, but the three things that caught my attention were the accuracy of events, heart-racing events, and the plot. Throughout the book, events during the jail or courthouse were described very detailed and produced a clear image in my head. The author must have done lots of prior research in order to get information about these events that most commoners do not know. The fire, rape, fights were described in a manner that allowed me to truly experience and understand what it was like in the character’s shoes. The plot went through many situations from jail cells all the way to getting confidential information from the Pentagon.

The Night She Disappeared: Summary
1044 Words | 5 PagesAlthough I did get confused while reading the book a few times, I think most individuals would enjoy it. I read this book all in one day, as it was a type of book that is super hard to stop reading after you start it. I wouldn’t recommend starting this book, if the reader doesn’t have time to read a majority of the book in one sitting. I believe a busy person would get too confused and lost in the book, since they wouldn’t have time to sit down and read the whole book. I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone under the age of fourteen, as it can be very sad at times.

Pride And Prejudice Syntax Analysis
932 Words | 4 PagesIt is a great love story only enhanced by the outlandish characters and constant mockery. The pacing of the novel is slow at first until half way through the first volume. The plot then accelerates and by the third volume it is hard to put down. Characters such as Mr. Collins, Mrs. Bennet, and Lady De Bourgh were all hysterical caricatures meant that livened up the novel during times when the plot was thin. The novel would not have been as cohesive or interesting without characters to add comic relief.

It’s how they handle it that makes people unique.” He’s saying that if everyone was to be given the same obstacle, everyone would do it in their own distinctive way, which makes them all unique.
