The Hobbit Songs

In the book The Hobbit music plays a big role in the novel. Most of the characters even sing there own song in the book. All the songs are different they all contain different material than the others. I can see why the author chose to include songs so this can the novel more interesting and have a feel for the emotions of each of the characters. The characters that did have their own little scene were the dwarves,the elves, and the goblins they all had their own song. The dwarves have their own scene where they sing a song. There song is kind of a story it tells about the misty mountains and it tells a tale. It pretty much describes the journey Bilbo and the dwarves take in the future.I know this because in the novel it said, “to dungeons

In the beginning of the song said,”The river is flowing your ponies need shoeing o!tra-la-la-lally”. That is a very happy tune in my opinion. The elves differ from the other people in the book who also do songs. The tune that they are singing is more positive than the other songs the mystical creatures sing in the novel.

Now the song the goblins sing is very gory and has ruthlessness behind it and it is really mean and negative. This song has many nasty details that tell about torturing someone or something. In the song it said,”you go my lad clash, crash! crush, smash!Hammer and tongs!knocker and gongs!” That sounds like it is hurting someone. Which is exactly what the song is talking about is hurting someone. They do not use a lot of big words and it does not have big sentences. The average sentence is two words long and has small words so they do not that well word choices at
