Fantastic.

Fantastic.

     Well for starters, using Harry Potter as a reference is not going to happen, no offense, I haven't read them, watched the movies, and don't plan to.

     

     We're reading The Hobbit  By J.R.R. Tolkien. I read it in fourth grade, as well. I don't think it's necessarily a bad book- but it's not my favorite genre. But in today's blog, I'm supposed to describe the fantasy elements., hence "Fantastic". Yay! (do you see the sarcasm?)

    

     First off, there's dwarfs. Short, stubby, big fluffy beards. Like Santa, in my opinion. Did I mention they're tubby?

    

     Then there's Gandalf, a wizard. Long beard, usually older. In this case, I can use Harry from Harry Potter as a comparison. Except, Harry is young and handsome and he has a funny scar on his face. There's a few differences there, dontcha think?

     

     There's Smaug, the dragon. When I think of dragons, I always think of the dragon in Shrek. You know, she mates with the donkey, and has cute little flying dragon-donkeys. They're so cute.  

     

     Bard, the human. Like the rest of us. It't that simple. No explaining to do here.

    

     I like Beorn, too. The man who can turn into a bear. It reminds me of Jacob Black in Twilight, the werewolf. 

     Last but not least, there's elves. they remind me of Santa, too. Or his elves, perhaps...

Thanks for putting up with my mindless rambling. Again,
