My Wide Reading Response

Wide Reading Response 3

By Amy Wrigley

Title: The Hobbit

Author: J.R.R Tolkien

Text Type: Fiction

Synopsis:

This book is about a hobbit who doesn't have a normal life. This hobbits name is Bilbo Baggins. Bilbo has an unexpected quest waiting for him that Gandalf the wizard gave him. The quest is for him to reclaim a powerful gem from the dragon Smug but his quest doesn't go as planned.

I think the author chose this title is because the story's main character is a hobbit or the story is about a hobbit's life.

My favorite character:

My favorite character is Smug because he is one of my favorite animals, a dragon also I love his personality because he's always so funny and he is also a sneaky trickster for example when he tried to trick Bilbo from coming out of his hiding spot when Bilbo was in his lair

An interesting relationship in the text:

An interesting relationship in the text is Bilbo and Gandalf because at first they were never friends because Bilbo was not a very social and Gandalf wasn’t really his type.   but when you get to the middle of the book they start working together by trusting each other and it turned into an amazing relationship.

Explains one of the themes or big ideas in the text:

One of the big relationships in the text is Bilbo and Gandalf, I think this because they had nothing in common at the start of the story, but in there adventures they have together they start to realize they have a few things in common like they both want to live a happy life and help others.

Examples of connections I’ve made in the text

The character Gandalf reminds me of Dumbledore from harry potter because they are both mysterious and magical. The dwarfs remind me of the dwarfs in snow white because there is a grumpy and a sleepy dwarf in the hobbit.
