Tolkien’s message is just even the smallest deeds and people can do great things. This applies to people in general because even if you are small compared to someone else you may have the bigger heart, and you can change the chorus of the future. The message applies to me because I may be out numbered but if I stay with my heart nothing can mentally get in my way. I liked the book because I could connect with some of the dwarves, like Fili because he is the youngest and he has an over brother, Kili, and i have an over protective sister. I also liked it because I was crying when Thorin died because I am a very sensitive person and Thorin was one of my favorites.

This is best seen through the character Radagast. In the novel, Radagast is mentioned about once, when the wizard Gandalf says, “...perhaps you have heard of my good cousin Radagast who lives near the Southern borders of Mirkwood” (pg. 119). Radagast plays no major roles in the novel, yet the movie changes this completely. In the motion picture The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Radagast is not only a character in the movie with quotes and actions but is also involved in aiding the protagonists. Although critics generally frown upon characters and events not derived from the source material, the more important issue is that these clips rarely, if ever, advance the story nor the protagonists.
