That's FanatsyTastic.

Fantastic.

You know... I'm reading The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. It's a good fantasy book... With references from other myths and whatnot... Like dwarves and goblins and trolls, et cetera. Our English teacher wants us to compare the creatures in this book with the same creatures in other books... (Which doesn't seen fun but, hey, that's just me!) Harry Potter would probably be a good reference, but in all honesty, I strongly dislike those books. I'll use those references anyways, though.

 

First off, there's a wizard. With a big white beard and everything! Gandalf (said wizard) reminds me of Merlin, from... The King Arthur story. Tall, old, beard, magic. (kind of scatter-brained...) But Gandalf keeps company with a hobbit and dwarves. Merlin's with Arthur and lancelot and whatnot.

 

Then there's the dwarves. Short (height-wise and temper), kind of pudgy, huge beards, old (mostly), and they like underground and treasure. These dwarves remind me of the ones from the Eragon series. They live in tunnels... And have treasure... And are short... And dislike dragons, for the most part.

 

And there's also Smaug, the big, evil dragon. I've read SO MANY stories with evil dragons, it's not even funny. When I think of dragons, the first one I tend to think of is Dragon, from Shrek. You know... She has those adorable little donkey-dragons with Donkey... But that's besides the point. She's not evil, but that one dragon (I think a guy named St. George killed him...?) in that one story steals treasure and sheep and demands fair maidens from the towns he terrorizes... Yay evil dragons!

 

There's also Beorn, a half bear, half man crature. He reminds me of a werewolf... The one from London! I like Beorn, but then again I think all shapeshifters are pretty legit.

 

There's also the elves! They always remind me of the elves from Eragon. They also live in the woods... and are magical. I wish I was an elf! It'd be cool to live in the woods and have animals listen to you and actually understand you.
