Welcome to the Shire! A land of comfort, predictability, and boring life! Please turn off your cellphones because they have way too much drama for a land this boring.

You will find this version of “The Hobbit” far different from the movie or even the book. To me, “The Hobbit” has always been a story about how a young hobbit finds his inner strength - - through a series of adventures, It’s a lot like life - HS or beyond. We don’t have a crystal ball to help us figure out what our group of friends; they just show up & help us along the way. We also have no way to anticipate the “monsters” or challenges we’ll face. My casting kept that theme in mind. Never mind the stereotypical physical size, it was more about the personality -whether

    The movie To Kill a Mockingbird, based on the novel written by Harper Lee showed the life of a child during the Great Depression and captured the theme of innocence taken away by evil. In most cases the book is always better than the film because life lessons are taken away in greater detail and are much easier to apply to a reader's life. Many movies stray from the book as did To Kill a Mockingbird, but also captured the scenes not shown in the book. Unlike the book, the movie had taken away the relationship that Boo Radley had with the children. One part of the book which was not shown in the movie was Mrs. Maudie's house fire when Boo Radley had draped a blanket over Scout’s shoulders while Jem and Scout were standing in the cold.…

The other two members are Fezzik, a sympathetic giant who doesn’t want to be left alone, and Indigo, a revenge filled swordsman.…

    J.R.R. Tolkien himself said, in his essay On Fairy-Stories, that “the Consolation of the Happy Ending” is needed at the end of any complete fairy-story (2001, 68). Fantasy, the genre under which the fairy-story falls, is notable for the way in which the adventure or quest is brought to a close by the distribution of rewards (Marquis, 2017), and it is from this reward distribution that the happy ending commonly comes. However, Tolkien’s own story, The Hobbit, has a distinct and unusual way of offering this ending to the reader. Although The Hobbit does indeed incorporate a very literal ‘distribution’ of rewards and does also finish with what can definitely be defined as a happy ending, this ending is not brought about via the obvious rewards’…
