I have not watched the movie titled The Golden Compass (directed by Chris Weitz). After reading the book, I would like to watch the movie and compare it to the book. Also, I will be comparing the Fantasy World qualities of The Golden Compass to that of The Fellowship of the Ring and The Hobbit (both of these books have been previously analyzed in the Blog). Through out all these future Posts, I will be trying to find new answers to the Focus Questions. The Fellowship of the Ring provides an excellent environment for one to conduct further exploration on Fantasy Worlds.

Therefore, I will read and study the ideas presented in The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman
