The Hobbit Book Comparison

“In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit,” writes J.R.R. Tolkien. Within Tolkien’s famous novel The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, thirteen dwarves, and a wizard named Gandalf embark on a journey to reclaim the dwarves’ long-forgotten gold. Although the story seems to be completely original and made of fresh ideas, it is actually influenced by previous literature, like other common novels. Many legends of King Arthur, with unknown authors, influenced J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit.

It is obvious that Shaw shows us both the transformation and identity of Eliza throughout the play. Shaw introduces us to the protagonists and tell us that Eliza has a "problem". Eliza was shown at the beginning of the play with poor speech with a foul mouth.

It all begins when a mysterious wizard by the name of Gandalf talks him to go on an adventure. Immediately, Bilbo turns down his offer since he was not interested in any adventures taking him away from his safe village. However, the next day, thirteen dwarves came to his house, reuniting to later set off on their quest. Soon, Bilbo finds out that he’s been recruited, unwillingly, as a burglar into Thorin’s expedition to retrieve his treasure. He becomes so frighten that he faints but reluctantly accepts. Nonetheless, the dwarves initially see him as a sort of a child who cannot possibly help them in their quest for treasure, but Gandalf assures them that there was more of the hobbit than meets the eye.

The story starts from the side of Mr. Bilbo Baggins. Bilbo starts as a nervous & annoyed host. He is hobbit, & his folk are reserved, but kind & carefree. Hobbits love to accommodate company when the time arrives, but this night Bilbo was in a ruck. Spontaneously, 13 dwarves & Gandalf tediously trickled through the door in groups & demanded dinner. Bilbo was not expecting these unknown & unplanned visitors, especially the grand total of 14! They ate & sang all night, while little time was devoted to business, which was planned that night. Bilbo was exhausted, unpleased, & unaffiliated with the pressing event they gathered to discuss. He was only aware that Gandalf selected him to be the Burglar of the party, which just so happened to be a vast journey across Middle-Earth. Unbeknownst to anyone, this was the start of a haunting tale, which Bilbo would never overlook. The first prominent issue Bilbo had to resolve the trolls. The group utilized this to test Bilbo’s strength, courage, brains, & stealth. Throughout the story, Bilbo continues to earn his spot among the dwarves, while the party is continually slammed with additional problems, however, everyday & every challenge reveals more of the nature of the dwarves & of Bilbo. With his role concluded & the Battle of Five Armies won, the yearning for home was too much to bear. Bilbo decided to travel home & achieve his part in the adventure of a lifetime. Each dwarf had grown quite fond of Bilbo, for the journey wouldn’t have been a success without their Burglar. The travel home was bittersweet & was a wonderful memoir of his quest. Gandalf accompanied him all the way to his Hobbit Hole on the Hill in Bag-End. Can we label Bilbo a hero? If so, what kind of hero is he? Is he a hero in history or in the eyes of the dwarves? Was Bilbo a savior for the descendants to come or the

Bilbo helps the dwarves get out of jail at night. Bilbo opens the cage and runs to the cave.Bilbo got him down from the tree and then that spent the night in the cave. Bilbo had a dream that he was going to be eaten by the cave. Bilbo was chased by wolves when he was trying to get dwarves out of the tree.

To me, both Tolkien and movie producers in Hollywood captured many of the different aspects and angles of the timeless classic The Hobbit. Although I pictured some scenes and characters different in my mind, both the movie and the book outdid themselves with lovely yet gruesomely fascinating detail. I myself am not sure if I favor the movie or the book better. Each did a great job of benefiting details to the story by either giving great descriptions of high quality imagery. Both the movie and the book both portrayed the story perfectly in their own ways.

Bilbo Baggins is swept into a quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins

The story starts at Bilbo’s home in the Shire. Bilbo lives in a furnished hobbit-hole. After the company comes to his home and they embark on the journey, they head to Rivendell to seek the elf, Elrond’s, advice. They make their way through the Misty Mountains and then through the other elf dwelling, Mirkwood. After travelling up the river, the dwarves are captured by large spiders. Bilbo sets them free from the spiders, but the dwarves are captured again only by elves. The elves imprison the dwarves until Bilbo frees them. The company travels up the nearby river in barrels to arrive in the town outside Erebor. The company travels to the mountain and wait for the right moment when the secret passage inside can be opened. Bilbo eventually gets inside Erebor and encounters the dragon that occupies it. The dragon leaves in a few days to terrorize the town of Dale outside of the mountain. The dwarves then occupy their lost kingdom. The dwarves’ greed regarding their riches gets the attention of the nearby peoples. A war is started right in front of the mountain due to the desires to overthrow the dwarves’ kingdom again. As they go along their journey, they encounter many different types of beings such as orcs, elves, and other men. The whole series of events take place in the land of Middle Earth. There are distant lands far beyond Middle Earth. There is a great deal of tension in the

The Hobbit (There and Back Again) is an absolutely wonderful classical book. In fact, it has been made into a three part movie series, two of which have already been released. The two movies that have been released will be what I am covering in this report.

Gandalf’s promise had been proven true, and Bilbo had shown beyond doubt that he had something special about him. This event had transformed the innocent hobbit into a clever being and also had created trust for Bilbo among the company, since the dwarves could rely on the hobbit to save their lives due to his excellent burglary.

When a book is written well, producers and directors idolize it and want to make a film of it. However these movie spinoffs often omit scenes or change scenes that were very important in the book. This is where the hobbit comes in. The Hobbit was written by J.R.R. Tolkien, and the movie was directed by Peter Jackson. In the story Bilbo is a hobbit from the shire that one day gets chosen by Gandalf (a magical wizard) to become a part of an adventure. He is called to be a burglar and to steal gold from a dragon that took from dwarves many years ago. I believe that in the movie, the scene where Bilbo encounters Smaug there are two main differences between the book and the movie that really weakened
