Abstract
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien's fantasy novel for children, The Hobbit, has always been regarded as a canonical work of art by the literary critics. The journey through Middle-earth has flourished with this novel and paved the way for his other canonical trilogy, The Lord of Rings. The novel has also been adapted for the cinema by the director, Peter Jackson with a series of three fantasy films. Whereas Tolkien has actually written the novel for children, Jackson has filmed the trilogy for the adults. Right along with this different aim on the target audience between Tolkien and Jackson, there are also numerous differences and changes between the novel and the film series. Thus, the purpose of this study is to compare J.R.R. Tolkien's novel, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again (1937) with Peter Jackson's film series, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012), The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013) and The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014) in terms of the journey, the fellowship and the space based on Linda Hutcheon's adaptation theory.

Indigenous Knowledge Exclusion in Education Systems of Africans: Impact of Beingness and Becoming an African
The home is classified as a complex terrain, in which closely-related family members live and interact, as well as serving as the locus of shared food and resources. It is seen as an organisational structure that is constructed around a certain hierarchy, and around certain interactions and organisational norms, often containing hidden aspects to its organisational life. Personal and private matters, such as illnesses, are declared in, and contained at, home.
