The Hobbit

I am really enjoying reading The Hobbit right now. I have almost finished the book and I really think that the discussion in class is very rellevant. I think that it was interesting to read this book right now since I have yet to read the Lord of the Rings books. I like the changes that Bilbo goes through throughout the journey. The list of the changes of the "hero" that we went through in class has many different ways to interpret his journey. My professor gave many differents points of her views about his journey but made sure to point out to everyone else that these different stages can occur at different places depending on one's personal standpoint. I think that when I finish this book I will hopefully continue to hear the literal points about the book and will be able to share the knowledge I've developed from this particular sections of class when I begin to teach.
