Heroic Journey

Tolkien's stories The Hobbit and The Lord of The Rings is perfect for this segment of class. I have been a huge fan of his work for many years and the thing I like most about his stories is that even though there is a main character who is a hero that hero doesn't succeed without a support system or a group of friends to help guide the hero through (in this case) his adventure. What I really like about this series of his is that it is so in depth and it focuses on relationships between characters. For example the relationship between the dwarfs at the dinner scene and they are all just gathering together and having a good time and then as they are making fun of Bilbow they are all singing about destroying his house and it just goes to show how loyal they are to each other and their friendship can withstand distance and   time to pull through for each other and that is how it is with all relationships built through his books so I think that speaks a lot about his character and that is why I enjoy his work.
