Reading Response The Hobbit

I am currently reading The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien. The way this book is portrayed is by using the narrator to explain some parts of the story, but the other parts of the story are just supposed to be understood by the way the story is written. The way the author wrote this book easily makes this an enjoyable experience.  In this fantasy, the author uses imaginative details when describing his characters known as Hobbits.   They are smaller than dwarfs, they wear bright colors such as green and yellow, and they don’t wear shoes. The main character, Bilbo Baggins, is a hobbit.

            The setting of this book is Middle Earth, in a land they call The Shire. Bilbo Baggins lived in a single story Hobbit Hole called The Hill. Bilbo’s home was built by his father before him, and he was considered very rich. In general, the Hobbits are considered to be very quiet and peaceful. They are also not very adventurous people. The story starts to get exciting once these dwarfs barge in Bilbo’s house and start eating all of his food, and discussing the journey they are about to go on involving Bilbo.
