The Hobbit

This story The Hobbit is my favorite story because the story has so many points of views with so many characters. From my point of view I feel like this story unwraps nicely with the hero's journey fully in mind when Tolkien wrote this story. The main topic I'll focus on with The Hobbit is Bilbo's journey throughout the entire book and how he was a different hobbit that I think was shy and timid in the beginning but in the end was a wise and heroic hero. From my point of view Bilbo should have been treated like an equal in the company of the dwarves from the very start but the dwarves underestimated Bilbo greatly. Some of the dwarves looked down upon him because he was timid and scared to fight yet Bilbo saves them time and time again which is why in this story he should be appreciated more and all the way through for what Bilbo goes through physically and emotionally with his company. When he is with Thorin Oakenshield he doubts Bilbo but in my opinion he shouldn’t doubt him throughout the story because Bilbo proves him wrong time and time again. Personally I think his journey should still go through its challenges but Bilbo should get the recognition of his actions more from the dwarves and with Thorin. I think though that this story captures the cycle of the hero's journey perfectly from beginning to middle to end with a full circle and understanding of what it’s all about. Reading this book was in my opinion a joy but also relaxing like home but scary as life and reality is. Home in this story captures the time of growing up in an isolated area that is it’s own private world with no troubles like the shire.  However in middle earth which would be portrayed as society and the world I think this story captures the struggles and harshness of what reality is while knowing there is still a home to return to.

BloodChild

When I read the short story Bloodchild I was really interested and fascinated by how two species can work together in good and bad way in my opinion. The first species that assists the other one are called the terrans and the other is known as the Tlic however the Tlic co-depends on the terrans. One part of this story that I observed and analyzed was the topic of slavery essentially in this short story. I observed how slavery was needed in this story in order for the Tlic species to survive but in my opinon I feel like the terrans should have recieved something in return for thier services towards the Tlic. I also took away from my own experience with this story that the Tlic need a terran host in order to reproduce their own species and survive. What I found to be quite interesting was how this story depends on the dependecy of another species and the meaning behind that relates to slavery but also survival in my opinion. Furthermore, I found it to be saddening to see that one species...

Future in 15 Years and 50 Years

What do you think the future will be like in 15 years? I believe the future will have a more advanced society with technology surrounding and becoming more and more dependent in our lives. VR haptic suits will be created and virtual reality will be a very popular use I believe, augmented reality will take over phones and phones will be far more superior and I believe there will be more wearable technology that more and more people will use. Overall, more wearable tech in 15 years and starting a colony on Mars. What do you think the future will be like in 50 years?  Society will have a different landscape and technology will be everywhere you look in this time period. The first would be how I could see bigger and more expanded cities but way more people than ever before. There would be more advanced ways of traveling. Space travel to other planets would be possible along with a society on Mars for sure. Wearable tech all over someone, clothes may have tech inside them while socie...

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

What I found by pure observation about a Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy was how bizarre, intense, and random the story is. One idea that I wanted to analyze and take from this story was the meaning behind Arthur and the number 42. I found it this book very enjoyable to read through mainly because there is humor and jokes all the way through. In my opinion it's like the author doesn’t want the reader to take it seriously but for the reader to laugh and have fun while reading. This is science fiction is made to laugh at itself while honoring its true rich tradition, but to myself it feels like it is much more than that. Adams' peculiarly dead-on humor also draws deeply from well thought out sociology, philosophy, and of course science. I observed the tone of the book as being humorous and exciting journey but also mysterious with how they can be uncovered. That's one of the main ideas;s I found interesting with this books theme. Another idea I wanted to observe and analyze ...
