Writing in the MLA format I felt really restrained from making my piece fun and attractive. Writing in MLA just looks like big paragraphs with nothing interesting in them. Times New Roman is also boring and unattractive. I hated the MLA format you couldn't do anything with the font, colors or pictures.Those are all things I would do if I were able to add them to an eBook.
First thing I would do is I would keep the title in MLA format except I would make eace line for the name, date, etc different colors. Second, I would change the font to calibri. Nothing drastic to where its unreadable just less boring. I would make the title size 16 so it stands out a little bit more and I might make it a wacky font. Finally, I would copy and paste my document into wordle and add it to the bottom of my paper to add some flavor.

From what I can tell so far I can see that the dwarves are going to accompany Bilbo throughout his adventure. Though I don't know why Gandalf is forcing him to go. Gandalf seemed to be pushing him to go and he was also pressed for time when he read the dwarves letter. I don't think Bilbo is well equipped for the trip considering he forgot his hat. Also I think Elrond is going to be a vital character and may accompany the dwarves.
Elrond deciphered the language on Gandalf's sword. It gives them a way to get into a secret cave. Apparently this cave is mysterious and few have entered it. That gives their adventure a direction and they head for the mountains. It makes the dwarves happy that they finally have something to do and they head off. I think they are going to approach the entrance and find a obstacle in or before the mountain.

Cross Country, The Story of Struggle
This past week I was very busy and tired and having a cross country meet on a Saturday doesn't help that. Waking up is probably the part that takes the most work out of the process. Dragging yourself out of bed at 7:00 on the weekend is pure torture. Then, you reach that point when you splash water on your face and you're finally awake. That's when you realize you have to run two miles in two hours.....
You reach the race and you know your body is not ready for this run. You reach the starting line, looking into the eyes of your opponents realizing they have the same mindset as you. You realize they have better things to do than run two miles at 9:00 in the morning.
You hear the start gun and the race begins. You notice everyone is in better shape than you and you should probably work harder at practice. You then get with the people around the speed you run. You look around at the skinny dedicated runners in first with pity. You wish you had it as easy as them.
Reaching the second mile you realize that every single person has run way faster than they should have. Everyone has terrible pain in their bodies, some people would prefer dying to finishing at this point. You come down a curved hill and see the straight away, and you start to notice people passing you with so much energy. You realize you ran so hard you can't finish the race with the speed you want to. You hear your coach yelling at you to run faster but the pain is to much you practical walk across the finish line with so much happiness in your heart, and you realize that it is the hardest sport in the world.

At first when I start reading this book I notice it has the very same character as in Lord of the Rings, Bilbo Baggins. It shows how this character and Gandalf meet for the first time because in the latter book they were already good friends. As the story progresses Gandalf tells Bilbo he needs to go on a adventure. This I'm inferring will be the very adventure that he will find the ring on in the next book. Bilbo is very reluctant to go on his adventure.
I can already tell I'm going to like this book from its feel. Its written very similar to the Fellowship of the Ring. The plot seems like it's going to also be very similar considering it's the same characters at a earlier period of time. It will probably jump right into the adventure unlike the other book where you had to wait. I feel like this story will contain less action though.
