Over spring break, my brother decided to watch the “Lord of the Rings” movies, a tradition he has had for a long time. One evening, we started talking about The Hobbit, and told me how he wanted me to read it. After this talk, I decided I would. He gave me the book, and I started reading it. By the way, doesn't this font look so J. R. R. Tolkien?
I have only just recently finished the very first chapter of this book, and I have been reading it extremely slowly. I like it, but it is a little bit boring. So far in the story, Gandalf came over inviting a hobbit from the shire named Bilbo Bagins on an adventure, and he refused. He is a hobbit, and it is considered improper and shocking for hobbits to go on adventures of any sort.
In an attempt to change his mind, Gandalf comes up with a hilarious plan that involves all of the dwarves already going on the journey to come stay at his house, eat all his food (which hobbits love so dearly), and be extremely loud and annoying. When they are singing songs about great ventures of people of history, and you start to realize that Bilbo does want to go on the endeavor, but he has learned all his life that going on adventures is something that hobbits simply do not do.
I have not found out if he has accepted this call yet, so I guess I will just have to continue reading. Or you know, just figure that he does, because he had already gone in the Lord Of The Rings movies.
