Hobbit Book Comparison

The Hobbit written by Tolkien is very detailed so it makes it easier to pick out what is and what is not real. He was certain on how, when, and where the setting took place and how the characters would act in that timeline. This is what makes it believable.

When you think of a hero, is the first character to pop in your head a little hobbit named Bilbo Baggins? In most cases, people think of Superman or Hercules, but in The Hobbit, an unexpected hero emerges and changes the name for all heroes to come. The Hobbit is a novel about Bilbo Baggins and his journey, with thirteen dwarves and a wizard, seeking the treasure stolen by the dragon, Smaug. While on this unexpected journey, Bilbo and his companions overcome many obstacles to eventually get to the treasure and retrieve it. Throughout the story, Bilbo develops into a courageous man, who indeed, is a hero. Richard Tyre wrote an article, “You Can’t Teach Tolkien,” and he explains his theory in which he connects multiple story’s plot with six elements. The Hobbit, is assuredly a prime example of Tyre’s theory because it follows all six steps throughout the story simultaneously. The six elements are; “(1) those who hunt for treasure, (2) must go alone, (3) at night, (4) and when they find it, (5) they must leave some of their blood behind, (6) and the treasure is never what they expected” (Tyre 19). These elements are steps in which a character must take to emerge into a hero in the end. Bilbo Baggins is the hero in The Hobbit, but he doesn’t start off as the hero. He has always had heroic traits but throughout the novel, he pursues those six steps and in the resolution, he is transformed into an actual hero.

When somebody mentions the word, “hero,” we think of someone dressed in shining armour holding a sword, slaying the terrible dragon guarding a hoard of gold. In The Hobbit, there is indeed a heinous dragon guarding a hoard of treasure and a hero who embarks on a journey to defeat said dragon and reclaim his stolen birthright. However, we do not just have one hero. We have two: the traditional and non-traditional hero. There is Bilbo Baggins, a shrewd hobbit who contrasts greatly from the typical hero, and Thorin Oakenshield, a strong-minded dwarf who resembles the traditional hero. By the end of the story, both characters have established that they’re capable of conquering obstacles and adversities with their

When they ask for help so Edmund can be saved Aslan saves Edmund and gets rid of the White Witch. He was willing to be taunted and laughed at and almost killed for them and all of Narnia.

Everyone in Narnia went through trying times as they fought to save their land but as they fought it strengthened their bonds as friends.

Going forward, in this essay, topics such as heroism and transformity will be strongly analyzed through quotes directly from the book The Hobbit and opinions formed while reading. Through the book The Hobbit, J.R.R. Tolkien is able to show how a hero isn’t always the typical buff and boots with a cape on his back kind of person. Tolkien shows the reader that a hero is made by the struggles he conquers and isn’t just a perfect character thrown into the beginning of the story.

Do you ever wonder what kind of person you are? Are you adventurous, perseptive, athletic? Have these traits ever affected your decision making? Because in “The Hobbit” By J.R.R. Tolkien, The protagonist Bilbo Baggins feels conflicted whether he should act like his more daring ancestors, the Tooks by embarking on a perilous journey to retake a kingdom. Or to be like his more respectable ancestors, the Bagginses and stay in the comfort of his warm home. As you can see, the traits he has acquired from his forebears are altering the way he sees the situation. Much like Bilbo, I believe that we all have similar sides to our personalities, whether the conflict is to be brave or timid, or smart rather than foolishly. And it is up to us to correctly

In J.R.R Tolkien’s The Hobbit, it is evident that the protagonist possesses the qualities of an underdog. Bilbo Baggins can be described as an underdog as he strives to prove he is able to overcome hardships and prevail. The role of the underdog resonates with the reader because they are enchanted by characters that overcome all types of adversity. In the case of Bilbo, it is his physical attributes along with his fear of the unknown that make him fall under the category of an underdog. He embarks on a journey to prove that an underdog can in fact be a hero. Throughout the novel, Bilbo progresses from being a frightened hobbit to proving he possesses the noble and brave qualities of a hero. Bilbo uses his wit and cunning personality to overcome his psychological and physical disadvantages, as well as change the way he is perceived by others to prove he is an unexpected hero.

“Bilbo is dreadfully frightened, but he had the sense to understand what had happened and to sneak behind a big barrel which held drink for the goblins…” (Tolkien 89 ). In this particular scene, In the novel, The Hobbit, written by, J. R. R. Tolkien, and the movie, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, directed by Peter Jackson, is about a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins. In the story, he meets a wizard named Gandalf, who sends him on an adventure.

Gandalf comes with a company of dwarves led by Thorin. They were searching to recover a lost treasure that was being guarded by a dragon named Smaug, at the Lonely Mountain.

“The most honest form of filmmaking is to make a film for yourself” -Peter Jackson.

Have you ever seen a hobbit, if not hobbits are half human height. They have no facial hair and don’t wear shoes because of the hair on their feet and soles on the bottom. In this story I am going to be comparing and contrasting two hobbit families, the Took and the Baggins. Up first is the Took family. They are not very respectable because they went on adventures. Hobbits never do anything unexpected or unpredictable. The Tooks were also rich. They had money in their hair that’s how much money they had. Next is the Baggins family. All the people in their community respected them very much because they were predictable and didn’t do anything unexpected, most of the Baggins were rich but not as rich as the Tooks. The thing they have in common

In this screen adaptation of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey based on the novel by J.R.R. Tolkien, directed by Peter Jackson, the main character Biblo Baggins, played by Martin Freeman goes on an unexpected journey. I thought the movie was great, although it was a little hard to follow. The actors played their parts strongly and it seemed to me that they liked playing their parts. The movie, however, did not follow the book as well as most would hope. In this fantasy story, there are wizards, dwarves, trolls, and many other creatures.

From the author of The Lord of The Rings trilogy, J. R. R. Tolkien, and the same crew behind their film adaptations, Peter Jackson and his writing team, The Battle of the Five Armies is the final instalment in a trilogy of films based on the classic fantasy novel, The Hobbit.
