Reading Log, week of November 3-7

The Lord of The Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

 Author: J.R.R. Tolkien

Pages Read: 1-123

What is a theme of the book?  How do you know?  (A theme is a principle that applies to all humans, such as:  learning independence, enduring friendship, making choices, survival, values/morals, courage, persistence, etc.)

I can’t really decide which theme this book has. In my opinion it has several. Enduring friendship, making choices, and survival. Enduring friendship because if Frodo didn’t have the help of his friends,  it woud have taken a much longer time for him to destroy the Ring (a.k.a the One Ring or Master Ring). Making choices because he had to make choices that could change the future of nations and himself. And survival because the book is set in a dangerous setting and he has to fight to survive.
