Little Bilbo's Ironic Figures: A Narrative Fiction

This quote show what Thorin thinks of Bilbo and his role in the group. He is doubting his abilities and thinking he would only come in the way of their plan to steal the treasure from Smaug the dragon who is guarding it at misty mountains. Gandalf who lead them to Bilbos house and took his side which got the dwarves to agree on adding him to the group as the 14th member. This quote show that tomorrow they will be starting on their journey.

“Fine, my lady. A non-rumour has been heard of: an assassin is prowling the Darkland Kingdom,” Butch replied. His voice was ragged, jagged, as if it was a jigsaw puzzle ready to be fixed.

Thorin almost starts a war with the lake men and the woodelves, but is stopped by the entrance of the appalling Wargs and Goblins. Bilbo could have taken the prized Arkenstone for himself, but he did not. The reason Bilbo selflessly decides to give away the Arkenstone is because he wants to see peace between all five groups. Bilbo says, “He values it above a river of gold. I give it to you. It will aid you in your bargaining” (Tolkien 271). This quote reveals how Bilbo wants to make sure that the fighting is stopped from progressing. Bilbo atones for his mistake of secretly taking the Arkenstone by giving it to Bard to help stop the feud. Many people can argue that Bilbo takes the Arkenstone for his own pleasure, but Bilbo, being a hero, nobly gives the Arkenstone to Bard to help stop the fight from continuing. Bilbo generously gives the Arkenstone to Bard to make sure Thorin and the other dwarves are not hurt. If Bilbo had not done the right thing, then the elves and the humans would have hurt Thorin and the other dwarves. Thorin values the Arkenstone more than anything else in his life, making him ready to fight for it. Thorin exclaims, “In this debate they have no place. Begone now ere our arrows fly!” (Tolkien 264). Thorin reveals in this quote how much desire he has for this object that has been in his family for many

“Away, I’ve always obeyed so I would never find out.” She snickered and looked towards me, her eyes piercing my very being. “You look like you’d make a fine specimen, shall I take a closer look at

“Abra! What happened to you?” Lucy shrieked. She saw the bruises on her daughter’s neck. This was enough.

"I'm a mage, did you actually think I wouldn't notice?" Allison chuckled, shaking her head at Braeden who blushed.

“Yes,” Loki said, having trouble finding his words. He could only see a faint glimmer of her eyes beneath that mask, and it was a daunting sight. “Good thing you decided to come.”

He closed his fist. “I suppose blood vows are empty without action. I will show you I’m to be trusted, if you allow it.”

As he walked away, she couldn’t help but feel hope, hope that Gabriel was still in there. Blinking behind him, she wrapped her arms around him. “Please, stop,” she begged softly. “Please, if you must kill us for what happened, then kill us, but don’t hurt innocents, please…”

Not only is Bilbo kind, but he has perserverence to be envied. Facing a nearly invincible dragon is not the easiest job in the world, and Bilbo was the one who was hired. Not only was itdifficult, it was what Bilbo feared most. (I need a good quote to put here.This has to be filled and the importance needs to be added).

“It was not me she wanted to see,” Boudreaux replied. “She wants something from you and I’m afraid that something is Salomé.”

Bilbo and the dwarves react a little different from each other. The dwarves didn't like any of the elves so they really didn't like Rivendell and thy felt a little out of place because most of their life they didn't really settle down in one place they were around their friends and always going on adventures. But Bilbo had most of his life he was in his hobbit hole and always cozy and he only had himself. And when they meet the elrond bilbo liked him and most of the other elves but no the dwarves did not they would always make fun of each other , like the elves would make fun of their beers and how short they was, and the dwarves would pick out a lot of things that looked funny to them and that is how it was between the dwarves and the elves.

A week has passed since the big adventure and Bilbo is now taking some time to relax at his home that he has missed so much. As Bilbo was watching TV on his couch he saw a strange commercial appear. The commercial was about a new dimension that was recently founded by an elf. This new dimension caught Bilbo’s eye, as he found it looked very interesting and odd. Bilbo immediately thought to himself that he must visit there one day, “but how?”, he asked himself. Bilbo had no idea how he would get to this strange new dimension nor when he would have the guts to step back outside again. Despite Bilbo still being shook up from the last adventure, he figured that if he traveled to this foreign place; there would be no one accompanying him to push him around or anything, he would have no specific demands, and he wouldn’t have to face any dangerous obstacles, or so he thought.

J.R.R. Tolkien is best knowing for his work in the series “Lord of the Rings”, which is held to be one of the best told modern day folklore. It consists of a world inhabited by mythical and supernatural beings. In his book “The Hobbit”, which is also taken place in this world, we meet our unlikely hero Bilbo Baggins. Hobbits are known not to be very adventurous. They live in comfort and do what is expected from them. “People considered them very respectable, not only because most of them were rich, but also because they never had any adventures or did anything unexpected.” (Tolkien 4) It is this factor that makes Bilbo Baggins remarkable. “The hobbit whose uneventful life as a comfortable bachelor at Bag End is forever upset by the intervention of Gandalf the wizard who leads Thorin Oakenshield and his company of dwarfs to Bilbo’s door with promise that Bilbo will prove to be a daring and resourceful burglar.” (Lawler) The dwarves will recruit Mr. Baggins to be their burglar, to try and steal back their treasure from the fearsome dragon Smaug. Bilbo becomes an unintentional hero because of his skills. Hobbits are known to be very quick, and very quiet. Since he possesses all of these skills, plus his cleverness and wits, Bilbo will prove to be a key character in the story. Bilbo Baggins is an unexpected hero in Tolkien’s story “The Hobbit”.

Thorin steps out of the group to explain the reason for their presence in Hobbiton. “We have come to collect the thirteenth member of our quest.”
