Hello and welcome to my blog. Over the next two months I will be reading and analyzing J.R.R. Tolkien's classic, "the Hobbit" as part of an independent study project for my grade eleven English class. I chose to read the Hobbit, because my Dad had read it to me when I was much younger. Upon starting this project I was quite eager to reread it and see it in a different light. To my surprise I only remembered very little of the book and reading it almost feels like a new experience to me. However, from time to time I am still finding parts of the book that feel pleasantly familiar and other parts where I find myself almost completing lines in my head. It has been a tremendous experience so far rereading this favorite from my childhood, and it will only get better.
I will be posting again soon, and by that point I will have finished the book and I will begin with my reflections. Farewell for now!
It will be interesting to see the changes you experience as you read this book with a more mature, worldly eye. What will your focus be as you read?
