Text to Self-
In the Hobbit, Bilbo said "Where and O where can Gandalf and the dwarves have gotten to?" That sentence reminded me of when I got lost in a grocery store. One slight difference being, I was in a huge panic, whereas Bilbo was relatively calm. This helped me visualize Bilbo looking exasperated and worried. I could also sympathize for him, because I know the feelings and emotions that come with being lost.
Text to Media-
On the cover of my copy of the book, it shows Smaug. The picture reminds me of the cover of a book called "Here There be Dragons". Both dragons are curled up and look serpentine, they vaguely look like a coiled snake. This strengthens my opinion that dragons are used to attract readers.
Text to World-
In the book, the party often found themselves hungry, or more precisely, starving. Unfortunately, this reminds me that people in the world, in Canada, don't have enough to eat. Much like the dwarves, people have to ration their food, and their meals are meagre and far between. The dwarves constant grumbling and complaining helps me visualize people being hungry and miserable in the real world.
