Recommended: Analysis of the hobbit

My most memorable moment from the Hobbit is when Bilbo can not say “No”. I really love this moment because when somebody has the option to say “No”, they sometimes can not. I watched this movie called 27 dresses. There is a scene teaching the girl how to say “No”. You see the girl has to plan her sister’s entire wedding for her, the problem is she is extremely busy. This guy gets to know the girl and decided to teach her how to say “No”. So the boy asks her for money and she says “No”. Then the boy flatters her and she says “No?”. Then she thinks the session is over and then the guy asks for her drink. She says “ Yea sure… NO!” The boy laughs at her and says she was doing so good. The same thing with Bilbo, the dwarves annoy him a lot throughout the book but, he never asks them to go away. He never says “No”. In hobbit nature that is a very good thing. In Took nature that is terrible. The book mainly taught Bilbo how to get his inner Took out. He eventually does …show more content…

You know when you think you know a person but, you really don’t. I have experienced the feeling before and I see it in my everyday life a lot. There is this Indian show I watch it is called Nisha aur uske Cousins. This means Nisha and her Cousins. In this show there is a lot of backstabbing and hurt feelings but, you realize after you watch this show that there is always someone in the world who will backstab you. You think you know the person who you are confiding in but, you really do not. This why this moment appealed to me so greatly. You know why the science experiment of talking to plants works? This is because you have somebody to talk to and other people listen. Scarlett knew Bod since she was 4 years old. Then she moved away for a couple of years and then came back again. Can you imagine what it is like to find someone who you can trust and then that same person breaks your trust and becomes a whole new

    Bilbo Baggins lived a very simple life, a life he enjoyed very much, until the day when the wizard Gandalf arrived at his door one morning. Gandalf was searching for someone to share an adventure with, but Bilbo quickly declined, saying, “We don’t want any adventures here. You might try over The Hill or across The Water,” and with that the hobbit dismissed the wandering wizard, but not before he had given the wizard an invitation for tea the next day. This of coarse, was the polite thing to do. But Gandalf saw something more in Bilbo and would not be discouraged.

    ...Bard, and the Elvenking, there is confusion and defensiveness over Bilbo’s true intentions. Although Bilbo appears honest and selfless, the others remain hesitant of the hobbit until he reveals his true selfless nature through giving away the Arkenstone. Bilbo uses his dialogue to assure, offer crucial information, and simply convey to Bard and the Elvenking how much the fighting should stop and why the characters should attempt peace. While at first the Elvenking remains questionable towards Bilbo, he later uses his dialogue to convey newfound respect he feels for the hobbit. The dialogue is a further representative to the text as a whole because it reveals Bilbo’s true nature and ability to gain respect and create peace in a tense situation.

    A hero. Today, by definition, to be a hero is to have abundant power, defiance, to attain fame and wealth, and to have the intrepidity to help the ones who cannot defend for themselves. However, Bilbo Baggins, the protagonist of The Hobbit, by J.R.R Tolkien, grows to be a hero without possessing any of these qualities after he partakes in an adventure to help reclaim the Dwarves’ homeland from the dragon Smaug. This quest to the Lonely Mountain brings the indolent hobbit into a completely new world, where he faces trouble and experiences a region of supernatural wonder. Bilbo’s adequacy and heroism are shown in the adventure through his latent cunningness and courageous acts, and through the loyalty and devotion he shows to his companions.

    Bilbo cleverly eluded Smaug’s temptation, spared the life of foul creature Gollum, and demonstrate courage more and more throughout his journey. These exquisite traits made Bilbo into the revered character that was loved and respected for generations of readers. Throughout the book, Bilbo’s character had changed. At first, he was the ordinary hobbit who described adventures as “Nasty disturbing uncomfortable things” (4) but by the end of his journeys stated to Thorin, “I am glad that I have shared in your perils” (290). Bilbo’s ability to fight evil, make new friends, and to look beyond his maps and books enable him to become a hero. As Gandalf once said at the very beginning, “There is a lot more in him than you guess, and a deal more than he has any idea of himself” (19). Gandalf was right. What appeared to be an uneasy hobbit who fainted at the thought of adventures, turned out to be a brave leader, a compassionate friend, and an inspiring

    Bilbo begins his long journey with the dwarves, who at the time were still skeptical of Bilbo’s abilities. The dwarves didn’t see why they needed such a small incompetent hobbit with them along their journey. Gandalf tells them to stop complaining and to trust that there is more to Bilbo than meets the eye (Tolkien 6). Bilbo soon shows his courage and heroism for the first time in the story when they run into their first obstacle, three large trolls huddled around a campfire. Bilbo, who was once a shy, non-adventurous type, begins to develop into a hero as he tries to steal one of the trolls’ money purses. This is a dramatic scene in the novel because it was Bilbo’s very first act outside his comfort zone. It was this...

    J.R.R. Tolkien Research Paper As many have grown up during this generation, they have been dazzled by the work of J.R.R. Tolkien as well as the artistic interpretation of this trilogy by Peter Jackson. This movement started when Tolkien created The Hobbit and then later the Lord of the Rings trilogy in the 1930’s, 1940’s and 1950’s. However, there are those who have criticized both the books and the cinema for being sexist and/or racist. Tolkien is not sexist because he develops his female characters by revealing their individualism and dynamic features, and is also not a racist because much of the criticism comes from Peter Jackson’s interpretations and because racism is harshly looked upon more in this generation than it was back in the 1940’s.

  • Examples Of Bilbo's Transformation In The Hobbit

    At the beginning of the novel, Mr. Baggins starts out at his comfy little hobbit home, but suddenly a grand, wise wizard shows up. Not long after, 12 dwarves began to appear, one by one at Bilbo’s door, and they have come to carry him off on a life-changing adventure, full of greed. That was the beginning of our hairy hobbit’s transformation from a shy, quiet hobbit, to a strong and bold life-saving hero, who enchants any who come in contact with him. For example of his strength and boldness, would be in chapter 5, when Bilbo rhymes riddles for an unknown creature, who calls itself Gollum. Bilbo would’ve been eaten if he were to have lost, but took his chances, and risked it anyway. After all, it did get him out of that goblin-infested cave.

    Throughout your life, you will be taken out of your comfort zone with many challenges and uncertainties. This is shown in The Hobbit, The Lightning Thief, and through my grandfather’s immigration story from Germany. Bilbo was taken on an adventure that took him beyond his normal comfort zone. He loved the familiarity of his hobbit-hole until Gandalf and the dwarves arrived at his door. The Hobbit contained many relatable moments about life, which can be explored through the novel, other people’s lives, and other works of fiction.

    My favorite part of the book would be when Smaug, the dragon, is killed. This is great because now the travelers can get the treasure much easier. Even though Bilbo wasn’t the one to kill Smaug, he was the one who provided the information to kill him. Bilbo found a soft spot on Smaug near his left breast. This is where Bard, one of the archers defending the town and a descendent of Girion, shot Smaug with an arrow and was victorious. The arrow killed the feared beast.

    J.R.R. Tolkien was one of the first authors to write about mythical creatures and beings in his epic novel, The Hobbit, which caused an uprising in tales of elves and other magical creatures. He made the characters come to life in a way that had never been done before. Tolkien did this through dwarves, dragons, wizards, trolls, goblins, eagles and most importantly elves. Tolkien’s elves were special. They had characteristics that no other elf had before his. This was probably why his books were so popular and well-known all across the world. Many people were inspired by Tolkien to write similar stories to his. Some examples are Harry Potter and How to Train Your Dragon. Both of these novels have gotten children talking about the mythical creatures
