The critical school I chose to write my analysis about is Marxist. When reading, “The Who Grinch Stole Christmas” the main principals showing are social and economic equality. In this story, The Grinch would represent the lower class that cannot afford to celebrate and The Who’s represent the higher class who can afford to celebrate Christmas, with presents and food. "They'd rush for their toys!” "young and old, would sit down to a feast" (Geisel, 1957).
Experiences with people, places and/or things, shape and affect an individuals choices, either to strengthen or break connections and relationships. Through past and new memories and experiences, we are able to reflect, assess and explore our owns concept of connections. There are however, obstacles and barriers one must meet to fully understand our selves and the complicated world of connections and belongingness. The environment or culture we are exposed in since we were infants for instance, greatly affects our identity- behaviour, values and actions- as we get older. Imagine two people from different countries, one grew up in Cambodia and the other grew up in the US.

People in the world look up to heroes, people who are strong, smart, and unselfish. Every once in awhile, the audience meets a hero who they would think could never do it. This character is Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit who only seems to care about food, But throughout, The Hobbit, he starts to prove the audience that he does a lot more than care about his next meal.

Bilbo Baggins is quite a boring character yet he has some moments in which he is adventurous. Being from the Baggins side is where he got his boring personality but also being from the took side he decides to be adventurous...rarely choosing to take dangerous risks in which he could lose his life.

Tolkien is a novel about a group of dwarves who recruit Bilbo, a humble hobbit, to help them take back their home from Smaug, a dragon. Most hobbits dislike adventure, Bilbo being no exception, but his curiosity gets the better of him and he travels with the dwarves. Firstly, Bilbo conflicts with his own personality when he decides to go with the dwarves and changes from being homely to being more adventurous. Then, he conflicts with the spiders in Mirkwood and changes from being honest to being more deceitful.

A Good Friend “There is nothing on this earth more to be prized than true friendship.” These words were said by Thomas Aquinas, an Italian philosopher. Bilbo Baggins, from The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, would make a great friend. He is clever, loyal, and he shows a wonderful sense of morality.
The novel The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien (1937) follows the main characters Bilbo and Gandalf along with Thorin and his group of dwarves as they embark on a fantastical adventure to the Misty Mountains. Although the films mainly follow this same journey, many plot points were added in to lengthen the movies and cater to action fans, while some plot points were taken out. The book is filled with old, unkempt men who are mainly involved in the journey for the riches and the thrill. However, the characters in the films often act and look differently than how they were described in The Hobbit which causes certain parts of the films to be inconsistent with the novel. Peter Jackson, the film’s director, also took the creative liberty to add female characters
Navigating our social surroundings and social interactions correctly can help develop character, discernment, and independence. The social growth of two protagonists was displayed in both Beasts of No Nation by Uzodinma Iweala and Boys Without Names by Kashmira Sheth. Agu, who was introduced in the novel Beasts of No Nation as an innocent, young boy, eventually turned into a ‘beast’ because of several influential factors. Like Agu, the protagonist in Boys Without Names by Kashmira Sheth, Gopal, underwent a similar transformation as the plot progressed. Gopal’s change, however, affected his perception on others and the amount of trust he allows for others.
