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.

Kiki's Delivery Service

With this story in particular I observed and took notice of how impactful and meaningful the story is to me and in my opinion it was exciting and interesting to decipher and analyze. The main topic I would want to focus on is KiKi’s training as a new witch and her relationship with other characters as a whole along with how society treats her. Her training in my opinion could have been better in this novel because she has to learn how to do everything on her own as a witch for the most part but she needs more mentorship in my opinion for at least the majority of her training process. The next thing that has my point of view would be her close relationship with some characters and how she is impacted by them. My personal point of view would have to be how is she affecting them since she’s different as a witch and someone who isn’t more normal and how they react to someone who is a witch in training. The next part that highly interests me is how society sees her in their world not hers....

Interview With a Vampire

I found this novel to be quite interesting with how a vampire’s life is along with his experiences. I found it interesting that Louis the main protagonist explains his life story on his life before and as a vampire. The main idea I want to get across with this novel is the conflict between Lestat, Claudia, and Louis and how it affects their story and perspective on the story. In my opinion, Louis should have escaped Lestat the vampire villain sooner without the consequence of Claudia being turned into a vampire. In my perspective I find it interesting that Lestat teaches Claudia how to kill others but Louis and Claudia start to hate Lestat and try to go against him. I find it interesting how both conflicts of Louis and Lestat grows and evolves into a warlike atmosphere with the two. In my perspective I would want Claudia to attack and fight Lestat with more training and advanced training from Louis to stop Lestat along with their dire experiences. I would want to find a way to see all...

Chinese Ghost Stories

What I saw and observed with one of the chinese ghost stories is how my own perspective and view of how The Return of Yan Zhenjing impacted me in a new way. The main topic of this story for me is the battle between Zhenjing and Xilie and how their fight and confrontation interests me in a narrative point of view. What I found interesting was Zhenjing’s motivation and faith in the son of heaven along with fighting for heaven and earth while his opponent fought for rebels, thieves, and murderers with no belief in anything. I found it interesting on what they fought for and how they were going to attain their goals with completely different motives in mind. In my opinion I would only change how their goals would be accomplished and what would happen afterwards for the future along with the future of the story. From my point of view I would have personally wanted to see more of their backstories and what caused Zhenjing and Xilie to fight to where they are now.  I would want to know m...
