Narrator, this was a third person account, thus leaving much to the imagination. The c...

The Hobbit is full of exciting events and action, making it difficult to put down. I enjoyed many things in this book, specifically the characters and the setting. Each character Tolkien created in The Hobbit is a separate and unique individual. Bilbo Baggins, the leading hobbit in the story, is very laid back and hesitant to go out with the dwarves on their journey. Tolkien does ...

This story is very effective because of how the life stories of Grace, and Alida affected their two daughters, an...

Chopin has been criticized for her ironic endings that ...
