How Does Bilbo Fight

Bilbo is fed up with all of the dwarf’s insults and is now ready to go on the adventure just to prove them wrong. So now Bilbo has accepted the offers of Gandalf. According to the hero’s journey, the hero would faces tests, enemies, and began to know about the rules of this special world. After Bilbo entered the goblins cave, Bilbo faced lots of crisis, he got lost in the cave, he couldn’t find his company and join them. He is all alone without the help from others, that makes this part as trials.Followed the heroic journey, the step would be approach. After Bilbo escaped from the goblins cave, all alone by himself without the help of the wizard or the dwarves or of anyone else, that made a great difference to Bilbo. He felt a different person, and much fiercer, he Enhanced

During a Socratic Seminar about the Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien, many interesting topics were discussed. We spent the majority of the time talking about the main character Bilbo. During the beginning of the book, Bilbo was a very quiet and reserved hobbit. When there was a chance of going on an adventure, though, Bilbo ran out the front door without a second though. We ended up discussing why he did this. People said that Bilbo ran out for the adventure for a number of reasons, however I thought that he did it on pure impulse, and I made sure to make that opinion know. I think that, because of the opinions of the other hobbits, Bilbo was convincing himself that adventures were foolhardy and not worth the effort. However, Bilbo actually loves adventures,

When he starts he off, he is just a normal person who lives a normal life until he is asked to go on an adventure at first he is frightened but then decides to go. Right after he sets off on his journey after a few nights he stays at an inn and thinks about how the last few days were “Bilbo would gladly have stopped there forever and ever – even supposing a wish would have taken him right back to his hobbit-hole without trouble” (Tolkien 48). In this excerpt he wishes he could go home after having a bad trip but when he realizes that the dwarves have no home to go back to so he continues on knowing it wouldn't be right to leave them. Even though he could be sitting comfortably at home, he would rather help a stranger reclaim their home.

He slowly evolved as time went on, starting with a knock his door by an extraordinary wizard. Then, soon after that, when the dwarves arrived, Bilbo’s perspective seemed to change and open up to possibilities. He became more confident and more willing to prove himself. This is shown in Bilbo’s first challenge where he risks his life and the dwarves to steal from the trolls, so he didn’t come back empty handed. This showed him, that sometimes risks are worth taking. Another event that made Bilbo “evolve” a lot, is when he faced off his first challenge completely by himself. This was in Gollum's cave. There were many ways that Gollum changed Bilbo’s adventure, but besides that, the encounter changed Bilbo. It changed him because it seems like, in this event, Bilbo finally is able to trust in himself like when he decided to outmaneuver golem all by himself, and when he uses his wits, and brains to defeat Gollum. Through this, Bilbo discovered, that he himself could be strong, by using just his bravery, and his smarts. One more of these important events, that I believe is the most essential to this topic is the encounters with the spiders. This is because, in this one event, all the lessons Bilbo has learned, and all his adventures contribute to his success. He needs his bravery and wits, to be able to taunt the spider, his ability to persevere past challenges, and also, his willingness to

Bilbo’s story is a story of a hero’s journey. From his origins we do not see that Bilbo likes to go on adventures. However, his mother’s side of the family got the best of him and he does decide to go on the adventure. We will look at his call to adventure and why he decided to go on the trip. Next, we will look at Bilbo and the weapons and supernatural help he used. The final aspect we’ll look at is Bilbo’s trials and transformations and goals during Tolkien’s The Hobbit.

In chapter five of The Hobbit, Bilbo is faced with a dreadful surprise: Gollum! When Gollum begins to become angry at Bilbo, Bilbo ran back into the darkness of the tunnels and escaped Gollum. Even after Bilbo bravely jumps over Gollum to flee the tunnels, he still has to get past the Goblins. A few lost buttons later, Bilbo is free. This is the first sign of Bilbo’s newfound adventurous spirit. Bilbo, like any other hobbit would, could have cried and begged for mercy. Bilbo did not do this, he knew that he needed to get away, and he

This is Bilbo’s acceptance of the adventure. Next Bilbo got help from a supernatural aid; a ring. He came across the ring underground in the Goblins territory right before he encountered Gollum. The ring turned out to be Gollum’s and was very important to him, but still Bilbo took it for himself; and that was a smart idea, as it became quite a useful tool throughout his journey. With it he escaped Gollum’s lair; “Gollum was defeated. He dared go no further. He had lost : lost his prey, and lost, too, the only thing he had ever cared about, his precious” (Tolkien 87). The ring helped Bilbo escape the goblins, who Bilbo encountered shortly after fleeing from Gollum. The ring also helped Bilbo escape from the treacherous spiders he and the dwarves came across later on in the story. Finally, Bilbo crossed the threshold, or in other worlds, left the old world behind. The morning after the dwarves had convinced Bilbo to join them, Bilbo found his house trashed, but the dwarves gone. So he assumed they went on without him. Ten minutes before he was due at the Green Dragon Inn, Gandalf appeared at his house informing him that they were all waiting for him to arrive. Flustered, Bilbo was shoved out of his house towards the Inn, without

After this they start traveling once again. When they approach Misty Mountains, they take shelter in a cave to let the storm overhead pass. While they are waiting for the storm to pass they get captured by the Great Goblin but can escape thanks to Gandalf. On their way out, Bilbo trips and loses his consciousness. When he wakes up he tries to make his way out of the cave once again, but he finds a ring that he eventually pockets. After he pocketed the ring he encounters Gollum, who is a murderous creature who kills and eats goblins and those who wonder in the caves. During this encounter Bilbo exchanges riddles with Gollum and even gives Gollum an easy riddle to buy himself more time to think of a trickier riddle. This shows that he is so confident that he will be able to answer Gollum’s next

Have you ever had to step out of your comfort zone? I think we all have had to be adventurous and try something that we might have never done before once in our lives. Bilbo Baggins sure has had to be adventurous and outgoing on many different occasions. The reason why he has had to do this is because of the Tookish side of him. Some instances where Bilbo stepped out of his comfort zone would be when he had tea with Gandalf and the other dwarves, which he did not invite, when he went on the adventure with Gandalf and the dwarves, and when he found Gollum’s ring and kept it.

At the beginning, Gandalf pretty much has to trick Bilbo into going on this adventure, but by the end of the book, Bilbo is much more courageous and willing to adventure out on his own, as evidenced by his willingness to confront Smaug. Due to Bilbo being a son of a Baggin ’s he was very conservative and didn’t enjoy adventure but due to Bilbo also being a son of a Took’s he was more adventurous and acknowledged life. Bilbo’s Took side convinced him to go on the quest with Gandalf. Bilbo becomes much more adventurous during the book by JRR

The book starts with Bilbo being offered a chance to go on an adventure, but Bilbo doesn’t want to go because he thinks it is too dangerous. “What am I going to get out of it? Am I going to come back alive?” This quote shows that Bilbo dislikes the idea of going on an adventure and doesn’t see the point in going. At this point of the book, he is a timid, unconfident character who is doesn’t like taking risks, and isn’t so selfless.

At the beginning of the book, he was a comfort loving hobbit who, even though he agreed to the adventure, was somewhat cowardly and often hapless. He is constantly in need of saving and help. For example Gandalf had to save Bilbo and the dwarves when they got in trouble with the trolls and when Dori had to carry him while they were escaping because he was slower than the others. At the end of every adventure at the first half of the book, Bilbo would always dream of his comfortable hobbit home and would always regret the adventure. However as the story line developed, Bilbo learned to be more adventurous and brave.

Throughout the entire book, The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins changes pretty drastically. Even though he does not like to travel, he went through an adventure, introducing a whole new world to him. In the beginning of the book Bilbo was described as someone who enjoys just walking around his peaceful, small little home, with his pipe and his food he loves so much. He would rather have other people come see him and he suggested “ I don’t want any adventures, thank you. Not Today.

At the start, Bilbo is so frighted at the mere thought of going on this quest that he faints. He is frightened by the thought of leaving behind the comforts of home, and by the fear of dying on the journey. However, by the next chapter or two, his “bookishness” reveals itself, and he rushes to join the company. He still worries about his handkerchiefs, but he is starting to become more open to change and adventure. By the end of the book, he is stronger, courageous. He doesn't seek danger, but neither does he shrink from it as he did when he began his

Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit living an ordinary life in his home of Hobbiton. Other people think his family in particular are not very exciting, “because they never had any adventures or did any-thing unexpected” (3). Except Bilbo does do something exciting. He goes on a very dangerous quest and avoids death. This proves he is a very brave individual. For instance, he shows his bravery when he must follow Gollum throughout the winding tunnels of the mountain in search of an exit. Bilbo finds himself
