The Hobbit

I finally finished "The Hobbit" and what happens is they get into war, bilbo and the elves, and it takes hours to win.  Many people died during the war. Then when that was over there was another problem that occurred. There was a dragon that terrorized  the town. Then was happened was that They were trying to kill it for a while already, but it just returned. Then something either exciting or horrible happens. Find out yourself.

There was a character that helped do something important, don't want to spoil it, and his name is Bard the Bowman. As you can tell by his name, he is good with bows. He is very courageous and he is determined. I know this because in the book he says "I am willing to face the beast and slay him into bits". He is very strong and wouldn't give up. That is what Bard the Bow man is like.

What is going on so far in the book is that there is lots of fights that are appearing. By fights I mean like wars. People are always hating each other for no apparent reason, but thats just them. Something that I just noticed is that this takes place before the book "Lord of the Rings." Bilbo the hobbit keeps on going on the adventure with Gandalf. They have found out many things but I don't want to spoil it thats really all the important events that happen.

Gandalf is very committed to whatever he does. I know this because in the book "The Hobbit" it says "Everything you do will effect the future, which is why I do everything the best that I can." This is pretty much telling us how committed he is. Bilbo also follows that rule because he listens to pretty much everything that he Gandalf says. That is what Gandalf acts like in the book.

"Would we be Killed" Blog

Native american were marginalized in society in many ways. One way Native Americans were being marginalized is by white men taking their culture away. I know this because in the article "Would we be Killed" it says "Pratt believed that the children needed to completely abandon their "indian-ness" in order to succeed in American. "Kill the Indian, Save the man," That was Pratt's saying." This shows that the white people didn't like the Native American's cultures and the way they live, so they decided to completely change their lives. No more of what they use to do or any traditions. Also the phrase "Kill the Indian, Save the man," was bad it's self. That was how the Native American were marginalized. 

I think the propose of Shanice Britton's essay is to show how the Indian Culture didn't change and is still around. They wanted to show how they live and have been for a while. Also to show that they aren't living in tepees and stuff like that. They have regular lives, but still do costumes.

The Hobbit

I have started reading the book "The Hobbit " by J.R.R. Tolkien. They book so far is about a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins and he was sitting out in front of his house. A wizard named Gandalf came up to him and asked his Bilbo wanted to come on an adventure. Bilbo ends up saying no, but the next day Gandalf comes back with 13 dwarves and are ready to party. Their purpose was really to persuade him to go on the adventure. He was handed a contract and finally Bilbo agrees to go on the adventure  after they had all left and he ran after Gandalf. He took nothing with him, just a contract in his hand. Thats really the main points so far.

Bilbo seems like he is a courageous guy because some random old man comes to him and asks if he wants to go on an adventure. If it were me I would never do it because you never know. Also he is brave because he is going on an adventure and to me, adventure means there will be dangers and risk. I would never do what Bilbo did because I am not as brave as him. That is what Bilbo acts like and what he is.
