He departs from his home, is initiated into a more mature mindset, undergoes a road of trials, goes through his innermost cave, and is returned home and reintegrated into society.

“I like six eggs with my ham, when starting on a journey.”(Tolkien, J. R. R.) remarked Thorin, a dwarf, and one of Bilbo’s companions. Bilbo, called upon by a tall old wizard named Gandalf, is a hobbit, and the protagonist in The Hobbit. He sets out with a band of dwarves to kill the infamous Smaug, a dragon, and reclaim ownership of Erebor, the lonely mountain. Beginning hesitant and shy, he feels uncomfortable with the notion of leaving the Shire, his homeland. Though he eventually agrees to accompany the dwarves on their journey, his timid personality remains, and overcoming it becomes one of his major challenges throughout the journey.

The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien is said to be one of the greatest children's novels of all time. The novel, due to its use of such characters as goblins, elves, trolls, giants, and others is in tradition, a fairy tale. The tale centers on a small hobbit by the name of Bilbo Baggins. It follows the journey of a band of dwarves, a wizard named Gandalf, and their robber, Bilbo on their way to retrieving treasure that had long been taken away from them. The hobbit traveled all over Middle-Earth, beginning with Bilbo's tiny hobbit-hole in the ground, to Mirkwood forest, to finally reaching the Mountain in which the dragon Smaug lives. Tolkien uses a large amount of imagery in his writing which can been seen through settings in The Hobbit. The imagery is usually either dark or light, depending on Bilbo's mood and contrast of his surroundings. J.R.R Tolkien uses dark and light imagery in The Hobbit to effectively set an eerie and mysterious mood and to foreshadow events such as Bilbo's journey in Mirkwood and his adventure in the Mountain.

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...
Peter Jackson, a director, once said, “It was impossible, and as a result of it being impossible, I just started shooting the movie with most of it not prepped at all.” As Jackson said, it is crucial to take everything in from a book and try to transform it into a movie; that is why there are many changes added from a novel to a book. The novel, The Hobbit, written by J.R.R. Tolkien and in the film, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Peter Jackson directs the movie. In the book, Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit, thirteen dwarves, and Gandalf, a wizard, goes on an adventure to seek the lost gold of the dwarves and the town of Dale.

It contains the format of the Hero’s Journey, where the everyman protagonist Bilbo Baggins is sent off on a quest, and his personality is changed forever. After Bilbo returns to Bag End, he has an appreciation for the extraordinary and the adventure which lies beyond the Shire.

The plot devices and conflicts are not revolutionary ideas; this story follows a somewhat clear format. However, the way they are executed, combined with Tolkien’s vibrant imagery and enchanting characters, captivates the reader and makes for a wonderful
