The Hobbit

I have read The Hobbit before in elementary school and really did not like it too much. As I have gotten older, I have seen all of the Lord of the Rings films and so reading The Hobbit again has intrigued me a lot more. I thought it was interesting watching that video today and how J.R.R. Tolkien came up with the idea for The Hobbit. When we discussed Bilbo in detail today in class, there was a lot that I had never realized before about him, such as looking at him as almost child-like and the sense of innocence to the outside world. Also I had never realized the significance of the riddle battle between Gollam and Bilbo. It was so true, how it was the first steps of Bilbo becomming a hero.
