The Hobbit, we are introduced to the main character, Bilbo Baggins, who lives in a hobbit-hole in The Hill. Bilbo baggins is what would be considered a homebody. He likes the comfort of his own home and intends to keep it that way. Eventually, Bilbo meets Gandalf, a wizard or protector of Bilbo, who eventually tricks him into going on a quest with him and the dwarves. The next day the dwarves one by one or two by two, enter into the home of Bilbo. Balin, Dwalin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, Dori, Nori, Ori
destined to be from the beginning, but Bilbo Baggins just changed his mind and chose to be an adventurous hobbit, the hero. Heroes are looked on as awake, strong, and morally correct creatures. Some people wouldn’t believe that a three foot tall hobbit who chills in his home most of the day would be a hero. It would be like coming up to a dachshund and saying to it,” You are going to do great things in this world.” In the novel,The Hobbit, the hero is Bilbo Baggins, halve tookish halve hobbit.

A hero is a person who is praised or admired for their phenomenal work done in a certain situation. Bilbo Baggins is considered to be a hero in the book The Hobbit, written by J. R. R. Tolkien. Although Bilbo is considered a hero in this book, he does everything unwillingly. In the movie, however, Bilbo is seen as an epic hero because of the way certain things are portrayed differing from the book. For example, the arrival of the dwarves at Bilbo’s home is different in the book than it is in the
villages scattered along the paths of which they must take and mountains just on the horizon. The read must go along with bilbo baggins a hobbit that does not realize there is more to him than just being a baggins and that he will live up to his family's name. Even after gandalf tells him that he will embark on a great adventure he still doesn’t believe he is anymore than just bilbo.

monomyth, the departure, is reflected in the book when Bilbo Baggins (the hobbit in the story) departs on a quest to rid a mountain of a dragon called Smaug. After the dragon is slayed, the return phase of the monomyth is in play as Bilbo journeys home. Along the way, Baggins was both helped and hindered by different characters embodying the archetypes of the monomyth. Thus, J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit” precisely follows the hero’s journey. Bilbo Baggins, as the hero of the story, goes through the departure
understudies just to meet how the Hobbit-Bilbo Baggins created as a legend, which all the more extensively speaks to the advancement of a typical individual into a saint. Toward the start of the story, Bilbo is bashful, agreeable, and smug in his safe little gap at Bag End. At the point when Gandalf talks him into joining on the journey with Thorin's dwarves, Bilbo turns out to be frightened to the point that he faints. However, as the novel advances, Bilbo wins despite peril and difficulty, defending
The hobbit was suffering from an identity crisis. Bilbo Baggins, the hobbit in question, had two sides to him. His Took side and his Baggins side. The latter was considered more respectable than the former. Simply for the reason that, and I quote, “They never had any adventures or did anything unexpected: you could tell what a Baggins would say on any question without the bother of asking him.” (Tolkien 4) Tooks, however, although they were richer, were not considered to be respectable because
Bilbo Baggins, a True Hero “I wish I could be a hero!” Many adults in today’s society hear small children wishing they could become heroes. Children wish to be more like heroes for the reason that heroes are the type of people who risk their lives to help others. Throughout history, children have had a positive connotation with the word “hero.” The heroes many small children talk about are the fictional ones who protect cities from villains: Superman, Batman, Spiderman, and others. However
Summer Reading The Hobbit 1) The first character that I chose that in my eyes shows heroic characteristics is the Bilbo Baggins. Bilbo is a hobbit, and hobits are known to live a quiet and safe lifestyle, never stepping out of their comfort zone and never interacting with anything that may cause a threat. All hobbis are content to stay at home. In the text heroic symbols are shown when Bilbo steps up to a group of dwarfs who are known to be more adventurous and ready to discover.

In life, many people say that someone might have two different sides to them or they are very diverse from the rest of their family. In the novel, The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins is no exception. He has the Baggins side which is more laid back and boring and the Tookish side that is always craving an adventure. There are three main instances when the Tookish side awakened inside of him and that is chapter one, chapter four, and chapter five. As chapter one started Bilbo’s Tookish side really didn't show
