The Golem by Avram Davidson is a retelling of a Jewish folklore with a twist that makes it stand out from other science fiction tales. Evident from the title of the story, the story starts with the appearance of a golem at the porch of an old couple’s home. The old couple – Mr. and Mrs. Gumbeiner – react very calmly to the situation, unlike how characters usually react in science fiction stories when they encounter a monster-like or alien-like being. Their indifference towards the golem and the…

Three Dozen at a Time “Not all those that wander are lost.” said by J.R.R. Tolkien. This quote refers to hunting because you are out in the middle of nowhere and people will think you are lost. Decoying and jumping waterfowl are similar and different in many ways including time, effort, and amount of equipment The time put into waterfowl hunting differs from decoying and jumping waterfowl.

Intro “Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.” (William Shakespeare) The relevance of this quote to The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien is that the title character, Bilbo Baggins is living his life without any particular advantages or ambitions, when suddenly he is presented with an opportunity to achieve greatness. Bilbo was perfectly content with his predictable routine, primarily consisting of good meals, relaxation, reading, and smoking his pipe.…

1) The first character I chose that in my opinion demonstrates heroic qualities in The Hobbit is Bilbo Baggins. Bilbo starts off as just an ordinary hobbit but as he is on his journey with Gandalf and the Dwarves he truly shows his heroic abilities. Time after time Bilbo pushes his limits and reveals all of the courage he truly has. In chapter two he is faced with his first burglary task which is to steal from the trolls. Although he does not succeed in this task what is truly important is that…

whether it is ineffective or not. Between The Hobbit and the movie, there are more than just a few differences. Written by J.R.R Tolkien, and directed by Peter Jackson, The Hobbit is a miraculous journey and development of a small Hobbit named Bilbo Baggins.

Another quote shows “In fact he was in grievous danger of coming…
