Hollywood Zenith-Chapter 21 Finishing Hobbit
The next morning I woke up refreshed and motivated. It is going to be a long week, but I already had a plan, but first I had to write a draft that will impress Uncle Donald.
The Hobbit is a children's fantasy novel by English author J. R. R. Tolkien. It was published in 1937 to wide critical acclaim, being nominated for the Carnegie Medal and awarded a prize from the New York Herald Tribune for best juvenile fiction. The book remains popular and is recognized as a classic in children's literature.
Since the publication of The Hobbit in 1937, critical readers have argued over whether the book is a fantasy, a fairy tale, a fable, a romance, an epic, or a novel. Classifying the book is one way of explaining its strengths and weaknesses and understanding the immense appeal it has held for many decades.
The Hobbit is set within Tolkien's fictional universe and follows the quest of home-loving Bilbo Baggins, the titular hobbit, to win a share of the treasure guarded by a dragon named Smaug. Bilbo's journey takes him from his light-hearted, rural surroundings into more sinister territory.
The story is told in the form of an episodic quest, and most chapters introduce a specific creature or type of creature of Tolkien's geography. Bilbo gains a new level of maturity, competence, and wisdom by accepting the disreputable, romantic, fey, and adventurous sides of his nature and applying his wits and common sense. The story reaches its climax in the Battle of Five Armies, where many of the characters and creatures from earlier chapters re-emerge to engage in conflict.
Bilbo Baggins, the protagonist, is a respectable, reserved hobbit—a race resembling short humans with furry, leathery feet who live in underground houses and are mainly pastoral farmers and gardeners. During his adventure, Bilbo often refers to the contents of his larder at home and wishes he had more food. Until he finds a magic ring, he is more baggage than help.
Gandalf, an itinerant wizard, introduces Bilbo to a company of thirteen dwarves. During the journey, the wizard disappears on side errands dimly hinted at, only to appear again at key moments in the story. Thorin Oakenshield, the proud, pompous head of the company of dwarves and heir to the destroyed dwarvish kingdom under the Lonely Mountain, makes many mistakes in his leadership, relying on Gandalf and Bilbo to get him out of trouble. but proves himself a mighty warrior.
Smaug is a dragon who long ago pillaged the dwarvish kingdom of Thorin's grandfather and sleeps upon the vast treasure.
The plot involves a host of other characters of varying importance, such as the twelve other dwarves of the company; two types of elves: both puckish and more serious warrior types; Men; man-eating trolls; boulder-throwing giants; evil cave-dwelling goblins; forest-dwelling giant spiders who can speak; immense and heroic eagles who also speak; evil wolves, or Wargs, who are allied with the goblins; Elrond the sage; Gollum, a strange creature inhabiting an underground lake; Beorn, a man who can assume bear form; and Bard the Bowman, a grim but honorable Archer of Lake-town.
There were many elements which could inspire young children and adults alike. It tells an epic story of overcoming huge obstacles, in the face of certain death, rising from ashes to realize your goals. 𝗳𝗿𝐞ℯ𝙬𝗲𝗯n𝗼νel.𝒄𝑜𝘮
In many ways, the book is simplistic, and yet in others, it reflects the complexity of human experience.
Personal growth and forms of heroism are central themes of the story, along with motifs of warfare. These themes have led critics to view Tolkien's own experiences during World War I as instrumental in shaping the story.
The book's critical and financial success and encouraged the publisher, therefore, requested a sequel. As Tolkien's work progressed on its successor, The Lord of the Rings, which will be my next goal.
I started writing, made some changes to better fit the current populace. The wording of the past may sound archaic, but it had a certain charm to it. Entire languages were written based on it; fans of Tolkien truly loved this series, and I wanted to create a similar reception in this world too.
I immersed myself and settled in the library and started on the project.

It's been a week and I was writing the last part of the book; the book was divided into chapters, and I was writing its final chapter 19.
Bilbo accepts only a small portion of his share of the treasure, having no want or need for more, but still returns home a very wealthy hobbit roughly a year and a month after he first left. Years later, he writes the story of his adventures.
There will be more of Hobbit in its sequel, but the story itself is complete.
I lead out the document, and sighed, gently, placing my head back. My eye-sight was fully recovered due to Regeneration Title, but I still felt strained in the eye, with a hurting back.
I rested and Oscar, who was with me, seeing that I had finished, placed a glass of water. After a few minutes of lying down, I made my way to Uncle Donald. It was still late evening, so he must be relaxing in the garden.
Everyone was worried about me these past few days; seeing my tired face. Mother tried to persuade me, but I firmly denied her and promised her that I would take frequent breaks.
I went out, which was a relief for everyone; I had the final papers in my hand, and made my way toward the garden. ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦
Uncle Donald was drinking his favorite tea and reviewing some papers on the deck. I went forward and said--
"Grand-Uncle I have finished the manuscript and you check it for me"
He looked at me with a surprised look and said, " Ok, I will review it seriously and honor our agreement. "
He took the paper from my hand. He put aside other documents and started reading my manuscript seriously.
