Bilbo's Journey In The Fellowship Of The Rings

In The Fellowship of the Ring, Frodo is given the ring by his father, Bilbo, who had carried though adventures of his own. Gandalf, being a family friend, is over in the Shire, home to the hobbits.

By putting his life in danger Bilbo shows a true example of heroism. Though the dwarves were still skeptical of his abilities, they were starting to take into consideration of what Gandalf had said about this little hobbit. Continuing their adventure the group is attacked by goblins where they are eventually saved by Gandalf. Throughout the turmoil of the attacking goblins Bilbo gets lost in the caves and finds himself alone in the darkness. It is in this event when Bilbo finds Gollum’s ring. Gollum was a sickly looking creature that had been dwelling in the caves for many years. Bilbo used his wits to outsmart the creature by playing a riddle game with him and eventually made it to safety. Having Bilbo win the riddle game shows that his smart and witty mind aids him in becoming the hero. Bilbo wasn’t some tough strong stereotypical super hero, he used his smarts to outwit his foes and to triumph over evil. Though Bilbo at the time did not know the power of the ring that he had retrieved from Gollum’s lair (the power of invisibility), it was his heroic fate that he found it as it assist him in becoming the hero of the story. Fate has it that Bilbo will become a hero, but Bilbo also has the courage on top of his fate to get the dwarves out of life threatening situations.

Thesis: In The Hobbit, Tolkien wants to show the reader that anyone, from any background can step up to a challenge, and be extraordinary rather than ordinary.

Bilbo has changed into a different hobbit since he left for his adventure. Before he left, Bilbo wanted nothing more than to stay in the comforts of his hobbit-hole, but afterwards he was more willing to abandon comfort for more adventures. The hobbit was not at all willing for adventure in the beginning since Gandalf, a wizard, practically tricked him into going on the trip, but after getting the thrill of adventure, Bilbo was more open to venturing outside his hobbit-hole. On the journey, the company came across many creatures and with these encounters, Bilbo became more open to different creatures than only meeting visitors that came to his hobbit-hole. With these encounters, however, the hobbit obtained a sense of confidence when meeting adversity.

Many of us 7th graders think of a hero as something that has super powers. That is not always what a hero is, they could be the protagonist in a book. A hero that means a lot to me is Bilbo. Bilbo is the protagonist in the book "The Hobbit". This book is one of my favorite and I really enjoy reading it. The book is a very challenging but enjoyable at the same time. The hero's journey is the path or route that a main character takes in a book to become a savior or hero at the end of the book.

Bilbo’s weapons that he has with him on the journey are his invisibility ring and he also a magic sword that lights up when danger is approaching. The sword he has, Sting, was made by powerful elves of the past. The sword and ring helped him past many challenges on his journey. “He wanted it because it was a ring of power, and if you slipped that ring on your finger, you were invisible; only in full sunlight could be seen, and then only by your shadow and that would be shaky and faint.” (Tolkein 45.) This shows the great power the ring has. The supernatural help that Bilbo receives is during The Battle of The Five Armies. When Bilbo is knocked unconscious during the avalanche, the Eagles come over and help him to safety until he regains his consciousness. When he regains his conscience he grabs the Arkenstone before Thorin could get to it, and later Bilbo gives it to the humans for negotiating

Bilbo encountered Gollum in a cave located in the depths of the Misty Mountains near Goblin-town. Gollum was a Stoor Hobbit of the River-folk. He wasn’t just a test, but also an enemy of Bilbo. Gollum had a riddle battle with Bilbo, which both Bilbo and Gollum would have to solve alternatively. If Bilbo wins, Gollum would tell him the way out. Prior to that, Bilbo obtained the Ring; this Ring helps Bilbo escape from Gollum. Gollum called the Ring his “birthday present.” Gollum realizes that Bilbo stole the ring, and would get it back at any cost. Bilbo didn’t know what the ring did until he wore it, it made him invisible. Bilbo quickly escaped and found the way out. But he didn’t realize there were goblins. Bilbo also eluded them, but little he knew, the dwarves were there too. He finally reunited with the dwarves and Gandalf; they were so pleased to see he was alive. When Bilbo told his mates about how him being a young hobbit, succeeded to escape Gollum. Everyone began to praise him. The dwarves started to respect him a great deal more after he said to them that he dodged all the guards and escaped Gollum. This test showed Bilbo how

When Bilbo Baggins faces conflicts, he pretends to act scared and surprised. First of all, when

J. R. R. Tolkien created a book with magic, fantasy, and wonder. He created a fiction based story with belief. In the beginning of the story, Bilbo Baggins was a tired, clumsy hobbit. He faced many challenges and also became victorious. The hobbit made friends with the 13 dwarves, a wizard and many more magical creatures. They went on a journey to gain, land, riches, and to kill the scary beast Smaug. Eventually, Bilbo had to go home, but he went home with a smile on his face knowing he became something he never thought he could be.

In The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins takes a journey of mental toughness and perseverance as he and the dwarves adventure to the Lonely Mountain. The first thing to remember is Bilbo rarely left his hobbit hole and he sure did not go on any adventures so this journey would not only be physically challenging, but mostly mentally tough. During his long adventure, Bilbo had to survive days without food and days of utmost discomfort. Also, Bilbo had to fight the temptations to turn back and give up on the glorious treasure at the end. For example, after the eagles saved them from the goblins and wargs, Bilbo could have decided to give up after all their trouble, but mentally he fought off the temptations because he knew the end result would overpower

As more and more dwarves arrive the following day at Bilbo’s house, he became flustered and confused as to why there were so many dwarves in his home. When Bilbo learns that he is to accompany Gandalf and the dwarves on their adventure, he is unsure about it and doesn’t think that he should be the one to accompany them. Throughout the beginning of the journey, Bilbo is miserable and unhappy. He frequently thinks about giving up the adventure and returning to his home, as he frequently thinks thing along the lines of “his comfortable chair before the fire in his favorite sitting-room in his hobbit-hole”(Tolkien, 46). During the adventure, the group faces many challenges. They are captured by trolls, chased by goblins, trapped by spiders, and imprisoned by wood-elves. Along with these obstacles, Bilbo also gets split up from the group and finds himself talking to a creature named Gollum. Gollum has been driven mad by his “precious” possession, which is a ring that enables the person wearing it

Bilbo is quite a cunning and observing protagonist who with his skills gets out of messy situations from the elve’s prison to the dragon’s cave the reader can observe this behavior. The surroundings such as his home lets out a comfortable scenario to be in. In the darkness of the forest the style in which confronted made Mr. Bilbo Baggins apply the ring that made his easy escape happen. The author unleashed this quest by including Gandalf to start the whole journey which was putting a symbol towards Bilbo’s door in order for the dwarves to realise who is the last piece for this mission. The sequence from where the dwarves were released from the grasps of the trolls they found treasure which made them have more plentiful amounts of Gold, silver, and other objects at the turn of events.

The famous wizard Gandalf once said to the simpleton Bilbo Baggins, “home is now behind you. The world is ahead.” A similar thing was said to me in 2016 when I left for the adventure of a lifetime to Australia and New Zealand. Prior to this trip, I had never even traveled without my parents abroad. Like Bilbo, I never liked to do anything unexpected or out of my comfort zone. I expected my favorite part of the trip to be touring the Sydney Opera House or feeding baby kangaroos in the wildlife sanctuary. However, the most memorable part of the entire trip happened in New Zealand while visiting Hobbiton, on the movie set of my two favorite movie trilogies: The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. Standing at the entrance to the Shire caused me to

"Three Rings for the Eleven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his Dark throne, In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all, One ring to find them, One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them, In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie(Tolkien)." Master of storytelling J.R.R. Tolkien continues the lives of the fictitious creatures that he introduced in The Hobbit, in his modern classic The Fellowship of the Ring. He artfully illustrates the truths of the evil that plague the hearts of man. He tells a story of greed, destruction and how mortal men are enslaved by
