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.

The Martian

In this novel The Martian I observed and analyzed the unique situation of Mark Watney of being stranded on Mars from a terrible sandstorm while his crew flew off. I think in my opinion the reader is engaged and interested all the way through since most of it is based on Mark and his experience on surviving on Mars while trying to find a way back home to Earth. What I analyzed from this book was how Mark used some farming techniques from Earth on Mars that works and ensures his survival for a while. The book makes the reader think about how he/she would survive if he/she was in Mark’s situation and it creates a way of problem solving. The problem solving would relate to his survival and communication with NASA but the same would relate to the reader if the reader though about how he/she would survive on their own in the wild but even another planet to myself is far fetched for survival. Also my idea with this book as an observation would be how there is a sense of strategy with the sur...

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 ...

Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is unique to me in every way with how the story unfolds. Throughout the novel I observed many things with how the story focuses on magic, wizards, and Hogwarts academy along with Harry Potter’s story. I observed how students in Hogwarts were divided into four separate classes and in the novel it depicts the what type of student you are and how that class affects others in good or bad ways. I found it as the reader to be relatable to society in my opinion since society has different types of organizations and groups of people doing their jobs. I found that to be interesting with that part of the novel and what each class would represent for the story and for Harry Potter. Also I was interested in the idea of Voldemort's intentions and ways of ruining Harry Potter. As the reader Harry tries to figure out who killed his parents but Voldemort impacts him in many ways and throughout the story I found this story to revolve around the idea of a hero’...
