These can be man vs. society, man vs. nature, or man vs. man. For example, the elves are sort of racist towards dwarves, the wargs attack the dwarves, and the goblins try to kill the dwarves.]]> 2017-05-18 14:51:57 UTC https://padlet.com/rogan_kannan/jxzbtz7343l2/wish/172601812 rogan_kannan https://padlet.com/rogan_kannan/jxzbtz7343l2/wish/172604769 This picture connects to the characters in The Hobbit because they come in all shapes and sizes. They have all types of unique personalities and dreams.
