Post Paper

 

Now done with writing my assigned researched paper, I am very content with the results and can gladly say I did this work with my best effort. I found in my research for this paper more reasons why The Hobbit is such a great story.  Below I have attached images of my paper for anyone who would like to read more on my findings. One thing that I have learned in my research is that I can never truly find all the messages/morals behind this story. Then again, I do have my entire lifetime to find out and now I do know a good amount of them.

                I’ve stated before that I feel audiences for generations have been seeking for these messages from The Hobbit.  People, in my generation specifically, have longed to hear these messages more, compared to other generations in the past, because The Hobbit is overall a simple story. Many stories today demand and claim to be the most “epic”, “powerful”, “griping”, and “spell-bounding” and then sometimes even go on to be huge action packed movies. Although there are suspending parts to the story, The Hobbit is really just an adventure you could say that is “there and back again”.  I wonder what J.R.R. Tolkien himself would think if he saw how many fans of his work still exist today.  Would he like how people have interpreted The Hobbit? Would he like the movie(s) that have been made of his book? These are unfortunately questions that I couldn’t really find through research, but I think any author would be pleased to know that people this enjoy his book forty years after he has passed away.  

Currently the DVD and Blu-ray of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey has just been released, so if you haven’t seen one-third of the story it’s available in stores now!
