The Hobbit: An Unexpected Article

Far away over the Grey Havens, and across Rohans’ realm, and into The Shire, there lived a hobbit. Now this particular hobbit lived in a hole. Not a hole that was dirty or dark, but a hole rather to the liking of himself and to others. For this hole was a hobbit hole and hobbit holes are full of comfort, warmth, and food. Now the hobbit that lived in this hole was  Bilbo Baggins. Many students have heard of The Hobbit, and many have read the famous fiction book by J. R. R.  Tolkien and have enjoyed it immensely, and now, this book has been made into a movie. Peter Jackson, the director of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, took up the job to film and direct the Hobbit. This particular movie was made to be made into three parts. The first part came out on December 14, 2012. Many SJHS students did go to see it, and they loved it.

Before the movie came out students were very excited for it. Tessa Larsen, an eighth grader at SJHS, said, “I was so excited for it to come out in the movies, I thought I was going to die.” Now not all students thought they were going die of excitement, but according to Brady Dolan, another eighth grader at SJHS, he has read The Hobbit and saw all Lord of the Rings movies, and he was very excited for The Hobbit to come out.

When The Hobbit did come out, many did go to see it. Alyvia Woolsey, an eighth grader at SJHS who saw the movie, said, “I loved it with passion.” Many students did enjoy The Hobbit, and according to Emily Mason, another eighth grader at SJHS, she thinks that Kili, a character in The Hobbit, is attractive. She also said, “I have a secret crush on Bilbo Baggins.”

According to Tessa Larsen, it was difficult for her to choose a favorite part, but she would pick when Bilbo meets Gollum/Smeagol in his cave. According to Emily Mason and Alyvia Woolsey, they also loved that part. According to Abbi Morris, another eighth grader at SJHS, it would be impossible for her to choose a favorite between The Hobbit or Lord of the Rings because she loves them both.

Far over the misty mountains cold, Bilbo Baggins will go and have an adventure he never imagined he would have. Even though the first part of the movie is close to three hours long, they are still two more parts to come out for Bilbo to finish his adventure.
