Yes, the characters are written realistically; the story wouldn’t be so popular if readers couldn’t identify with them. They aren’t just noble, stouthearted heroes in a story full of sunshine, they get hungry, wet, tired, scared, and they complain, just like any human being. They make mistakes and have to answer for them, they look up to others, such as Thorin or Gandalf, only to have them leave or pass away so that they must figure things out on their own. I’ve felt all those things: hungry, wet, tired, scared, confused, and sad. And I also felt the emotions along with them as I read; it felt as if I were one of their company.

Reading has always been something I’ve enjoyed doing; because of my mother’s enthusiastic teaching, by the age of six I was reading books on the level of The Chronicles of Narnia. By the age of eight, I had read most of the books we owned, at least, those I was permitted to read at that age. As I got older, my spare time became far more limited and divided, as demands from school increased and my family grew. I did, however, focus extensively on my favorites. One of the books I most frequently read was The Lord of the Rings, and while my enthusiasm for the trilogy has somewhat dimmed, I did read The Return of the King at least four times. Similarly, I was strikingly struck by Brian Jacques’ Redwall series, which, along with the

They are the characteristics and qualities that I admire and strive to have. In the books my class read in English class I can find characters with qualities that I prize and desire to have. Three major writings that resonated with me are The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, and excerpts from The Odyssey by Homer.
