    Actually this didn't go quite the way I had wanted. Originally I planned to go into much more detail about Beorn bonding with various Dwarrow and Bilbo, but that would lead to them basically having the same talk again as in the last chapter, so I tried this approach. I believe I mentioned it before, but it was Bungo’s project before, and now Bilbo tries to collect what knowledge he can about the time before the Hobbits lived in the Shire. It is actually canon that the Hobbits lived in the Valley of the Anduin, which is south of Beorn’s homestead, before the first War of the Ring forced them to move west, so I believe it's not so farfetched to believe they co-existed peacefully with the skin-changers. Also, basically since I first heard "Song of Exile" from the King Arthur Soundtrack I associated the song with "Beorn".

    This is best seen through the character Radagast. In the novel, Radagast is mentioned about once, when the wizard Gandalf says, “...perhaps you have heard of my good cousin Radagast who lives near the Southern borders of Mirkwood” (pg. 119). Radagast plays no major roles in the novel, yet the movie changes this completely. In the motion picture The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Radagast is not only a character in the movie with quotes and actions but is also involved in aiding the protagonists. Although critics generally frown upon characters and events not derived from the source material, the more important issue is that these clips rarely, if ever, advance the story nor the protagonists.

    Tolkien’s message is just even the smallest deeds and people can do great things. This applies to people in general because even if you are small compared to someone else you may have the bigger heart, and you can change the chorus of the future. The message applies to me because I may be out numbered but if I stay with my heart nothing can mentally get in my way. I liked the book because I could connect with some of the dwarves, like Fili because he is the youngest and he has an over brother, Kili, and i have an over protective sister. I also liked it because I was crying when Thorin died because I am a very sensitive person and Thorin was one of my favorites.
