Hobbits the narrator explains are, roughly half the size of humans with love of good food, comfort, and security. They traditionally live in holes in the ground. The holes are not smelly but comfortable underground dwellings. The hole occupied by the hobbit known as Bilbo Baggins. It is quite a pleasant dwelling with comfortable furniture and a well-stocked kitchen nestled in a snug village under a hill.

The dragon has been protecting his bounty ever since. Thorin and the dwarves are out to reclaim their inheritance though they are unsure of what to do with Smaug when they discover him. Bilbo suspects the dwarves want him to be included in slaying the dragon. Although his Baggins side would want nothing with this, and to just sit at home with his pipe. The Took influence in him fuels his curiosity about the adventure, and he is reluctantly thrilled by the tales of dragons and great battles.

He yells and out of the crack jump dozens of goblins who carry off each member of the company except Gandalf who heard Bilbo’s yell. The goblins transport the dwarves and the hobbit down into the mountain to a huge chamber where the Great Goblin sits.

Bilbo Baggins has two sides of the family. One side called the Took side where his mother was raised. The other side called the Baggins side where his father was raised. Both sides are very unique and different. And they have one thing that is in common. Both families are rich. The Took side is not respectable. They always went on adventures.

We are introduced to hobbits and to Bilbo Baggins, a stay-at-home, utterly respectable hobbit with a secret desire for adventure. Bilbo receives a visit from Gandalf the wizard. The next Wednesday Gandalf returns for tea, bringing with him a party of thirteen dwarves led by Thorin Oakenshield.

At the beginning of the story, Bilbo is introduced as a conventional hobbit, content with a quiet life in his cozy hobbit-hole in the Shire. He is portrayed as a creature of habit, fond of his creature comforts and wary of anything outside his ordinary routine. Bilbo's reluctance to venture beyond the borders of his comfortable existence is evident when Gandalf and the dwarves arrive, seeking his help in their quest to reclaim the Lonely Mountain from the dragon Smaug. In Chapter 1, "An Unexpected Party," Bilbo's initial reaction to the dwarves' unexpected visit is one of bewilderment and discomfort. He is thrust into a world of chaos and adventure, which starkly contrasts with his orderly hobbit life.
A Hobbit is a smaller human like- creature. They are usually very calm and non-adventurous. Bilbo Baggins is like most Hobbits calm and tiny. All the Baggins are known to be very proper and cozy people, just like Bilbo has presumed himself to be. Although all his life he has acted like a Baggins, his mother was a Took, the only adventurous hobbits anyone will meet.
Bilbo Baggins, the main character of The Hobbit, is one of the creatures about half the size of humans, beardless and with hairy feet. He lives in a time that is at once ancient and also very fancy with its cozy household routines. Like most hobbits, Bilbo is fond of the comforts of home, he loves plenty of simple food, and he loves his pipe and well furnished hobbit-hole. In fact, with Bilbo smoking a pipe one morning just outside his home, shortly afterward, he finds himself serving high tea, also coffee, cakes, scones, jam, tart, and pies, to thirteen dwarves. The dwarves follow Bilbo throughout his hardships on his journey, when he is often hungry, and represent what home means to him.
Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit living in the Shire having a peaceful quiet life in his hobbit hole. One day after living a life of leisure and pleasure he is awakened by a rude knock on his door. In a matter of a few hours he will meet the people that changed his life for good. The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien is a story about a hobbit and his adventure. His adventure starts with a knock on his door by his old Friend Gandalf. Gandalf then promptly asks Bilbo”I am looking for someone to share in an adventure”(tolkien). Bilbo then denies Gandalf and continuous with his usual day until that night. When Bilbo is about to eat his dinner he gets a knock. He opens it to find two dwarves Dwalin and Balin. Bilbo 's shocked but invites them in. Bilbo does this eval times until he 's left with thirteen dwarves Dwalin, Balin, Kili, Fili, Dori, Ori, Nori, Gloin, Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, and Thorin Oakenshield. They then invite him on a quest that would change his life. During his quest he faces many evils and overcomes them all to become a hero.
Meals will not come as often, he is sleeping on the forest floor, and he has a lot of challenges he faces. Bilbo has many allies that help him on his missions, such as all thirteen dwarfs, Gandalf, and Beorn, a shapshifter that help the fifthteen of them with a conflict later in the book. Along with allies, the hobbit faces many enimies during the adventure. Some enimies as small as the spiders, and elves they face to the dragon, smaug. "[The goblins] could not find Bilbo...slipping in and out of the shadow of the trees, running quick and quiet, and keeping out of the sun; so soon they went back grumbling and cursing to gaurd the door.

Firstly, Bilbo grows bolder and more curious as he begins his adventures. The first stage of a hero’s journey is the Separation, in which the hero leaves his known world, or home, and crosses into the Unknown (Thompson and Harris 7). Bilbo resides in Bag-End, his hobbit-hole, where he lives as a “very respectable [hobbit who]...never had any adventures or did anything unexpected” (Tolkien 2). Bag-End represents Bilbo’s known world, where he lives comfortably and complacently. Next, Bilbo undergoes the first step of the hero’s journey, the Call, which occurs when the protagonist is called to adventure (Thompson and Harris 8). Bilbo is not particularly brave or gifted, but when Gandalf chooses him to be the burglar
