January- The Hobbit

Significance-

This book is important to me because it is a really good adventure story filled with lots of elaborate description. This book also explains how humans came in and sort of destroyed peace love and happiness.
Perspective-
The author of this book was trying to make a good adventure story. The author of this book was also very successful. He made it also very easy to see all of the character's perspectives in the book and how they change through out it. Bilbo obviously was taken very by surprise on the journey, but his perspective about the journey changed a whole lot.
Supposition-
Suppose Bilbo had not been chosen to go on the journey. The journey would end in many places
if it weren't for Bilbo, and it happened by mere chance the Bilbo went on the journey. I already think I know what is going to happen next, and that is probably because the book is almost over.
Evidence-
You can tell that the writer was very descriptive and knew all of the characters well because each of the characters has a big story behind them. The book The Hobit has been especially good because you can see each character change a lot, and there is a whole bunch of characters.
Connection-
This book has a lot of real world connections. The biggest one I would say is that Bilbo gets less and less scared of the journey as it goes on. That happens a lot. I was scared of roller coasters when I was introduced to them but now they are really fun. Bilbo goes through that kind of change through out the book.

December blog- The Looking Glass Wars

The Looking Glass Wars

Significance
I think this work matters because it influeces imagination and determination.
I chose this piece because I knew it would be funny. But it turned out to be a really good story too.
Supposition-Suppose Alyss never went back to Wonderland. The story would be much different. The queen Red would go on in her extreme monarchy, and Alyss would marry the prince of England. Wonderland would have no hope.
Evidence-
The people in the book say them selves that as long as Alyss remained alive, there would still be hope for Wonderland. I think that the argument that the author was trying to make is that imagination is a source of learning, not a childish burden. That is because the powerful thing about the queens in Wonderland is their imagination.
Perspective-
Well, the book is an over done spoof of Alice in Wonderland. So the writer of the book had to have known about the story Alice in Wonderland before writing it. The writer probably was trying to make it funny and unique.
Connection-
A connection to the real world in this book is that Alyss as a child is very foolish and uses her unique and powerful imagination against people that she is mad at. It sounds exactly like what I suppose a child would to if it were capable of turning its imagination into real life.
