The different versions of The Hobbit each show better ways to be more in depth, have greater narration which makes it easier to understand, and be able to make the audience want to immerse themselves. First I will start by giving my reason for why I chose more in depth. I chose this because the film version of The Hobbit was more in depth because, when you read the book you don’t get the full picture and real life action that you would when watching the film and it makes it easier to piece together. An example from the book is, “Smaug lay, with his wings folded like an immeasurable bat, turned partly on one side, so that the hobbit could see his underparts of his long pale belly crusted with gems and fragments of gold from his long lying on his costly bed” (pg 214 Tolkien). From the movie when Bilbo is with Smaug when he …show more content…
This I chose because the book version of The Hobbit did a better job with narration. Narration to me is a very important because it adds descriptions to what your reading or watching. In the book it was easier to understand what I was reading because it had greater narration then the movie did. A quote from the book is, “There were black squirrels in the wood. As Bilbo’s sharp inquisitive eyes got used to seeing things he could catch glimpses of them whisking off the path and scuttling behind tree-trunks” (pg 140 Tolkien). In the movie I feel as if they did a poor job at making things more intense and as interesting as it was in the book. They also did a poor job at pointing out all the creatures in the forest. I believe that this modification was made because the writer wanted to make sure that everyone who reads the book knows exactly what’s going on point by point. This makes things easier to follow when you can know it all. Throughout everything I’ve said about the book having greater narration, I strongly believe that what I’ve said can encourage you to take my side on this
Tolkien uses a larger amount of dark imager in The Hobbit then he does light. This is because the narrator concentrates chiefly on Bilbo's feelings about situations and places. Bilbo isn't very happy to be on the adventure and it considerably shows in his descriptions of people and places. Throughout the better part of the tale, he mentions his warm, hobbit-hole in the ground and wishes to be back there rather then journeying to Smaug's mountain.
One difference is in The Hobbit the Hero’s Journey is evident. The reader can clearly identify the current stage of the Hero’s Journey the story is in and you can clearly how Bilbo’s a
Bilbo had gone inside of Smaug’s home which he thought he wanted to steal from caused a vivid argument. In an excerpt from, The Hobbit, J.R.R Tolkien uses a wide array of rhetorical devices to convey the tone of the discussion. At the beginning of the excerpt, Tolkien uses imagery, personification, and alliteration to describe the moment when Smaug discovered Bilbo inside of his house. At first, we could imagine Smaug “…fast asleep, almost dead and dark…” with the use of visual imagery which assists the reader by creating a context for the story’s action.
Although the movies are a beautiful remake of the original book, there a quite a few distinct differences between the two. These differences can be very simple: like the fact that Gollum only has six teeth in the book and nine in the movie, or very complex: like the fact that whole new characters were added to the movie that were not originally in the book. The elves Legolas, Tauriel, and Galadriel played very prominent roles in the book in helping the dwarves and hobbit on their journey, yet they ceased to exist in the original text. Another substantial difference between the book and movies is that in the book, the dwarves and hobbit weren’t aware of Smaug leaving (or being killed for that matter) until they were alerted of this news by the crows. However, in the movie, a pretty large battle took place between the dwarves and Smaug. As far as smaller differences go, in the book the keyhole to get into Smaug’s chamber was lit by the sunset, whereas in the movie the keyhole was lit by the light of the moon; the movie showed Bard’s children and the book didn’t; and in the book it talks of Gandalf throwing pinecones lit with fires of many color, but in the book they were all one color; and the movie featured an attack
Books have to be adapted when they are made into movies. Producers edit scenes to make them shorter, and sometimes even leave them out. It is because of this that most books include more details than their movie counterparts. The Lord of the Rings series has many of these changes, due to the length of the books. Here are some of the events that unfolded differently in the movie and the book. I have found four differences.
The Hobbit is a piece of prose written by J. R. R. Tolkien. It is a story about a young hobbit who is faced with the quest to come along and help beat Smaug, the dragon who stole the dwarves home. Bilbo, who is more cowardly, wanted to say no but didn't, and he agreed to come on the quest to get the dwarves' land back in return for a bit of treasure. As they go on their quest, they are faced with many dangers and problems, even after Gandalf the wizard leaves them midway through the journey. The book displays Bilbo as a timid and small creature who doesn’t have much confidence in himself, but as the chapters progress, he becomes more outgoing as he learns to defend himself.
The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien is said to be one of the greatest children's novels of all time. The novel, due to its use of such characters as goblins, elves, trolls, giants, and others is in tradition, a fairy tale. The tale centers on a small hobbit by the name of Bilbo Baggins. It follows the journey of a band of dwarves, a wizard named Gandalf, and their robber, Bilbo on their way to retrieving treasure that had long been taken away from them. The hobbit traveled all over Middle-Earth, beginning with Bilbo's tiny hobbit-hole in the ground, to Mirkwood forest, to finally reaching the Mountain in which the dragon Smaug lives. Tolkien uses a large amount of imagery in his writing which can been seen through settings in The Hobbit. The

Since the publication of The Hobbit in 1937, critical readers have argued over whether the book is a fantasy, a fairy tale, a fable, a romance, an epic, or a novel. Classifying the book is one way of explaining its strengths and weaknesses and understanding the immense appeal it has held for many decades. The Hobbit seems to be about much more than its surface narrative, but Tolkien was adamant that it was not an allegory and said he much preferred history, whether real or invented, to allegory. The book is not a novel in the tradition of the great realistic novels of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; it is much closer to the idea of a romance, a genre that accommodates the improbable and even the supernatural. It is probably most accurate
The Hobbit, written by John R. R. Tolkien, is a fantasy novel published on September 21, 1937. It was written as a prelude to the famous series, The Lord of the Rings, written seventeen years later. The Hobbit introduces the reader to an incredibly immersive fantasy world, that enriches the reader into its epic storyline. The story takes place in a land called Middle-earth, a land filled with enchanting surprises and magical wonders. It was the perfect playground for Tolkien to develop his main character Bilbo Baggins. Bilbo Baggins was a small hobbit, who unaware in the beginning would become a large role in the plot. It is through this character that Tolkien implemented the theme of heroism into the story. Bilbo’s
Throughout the book there are many important details, such as important symbols, one of them being Sting the sword Bilbo named after he killed the giant spider. To add on, another important detail is the conflicts that Bilbo went through, and how the dwarves never listened to Gandalf which always became a serious problem. In addition, there are many motifs, one of those are how Bilbo always drifts away into thinking about his lovely hobbit hole. Most importantly is the characters that are represented throughout the novel, one of them is how Gandalf is a clear representation of God and how he brings Bilbo on a journey to fulfill his destiny. In addition, there is a major theme set in The Hobbit and that theme would be Bilbo becoming a hero.
As with every book and movie adaptation, there are differences. One of the most significant changes that affected the overall story was the loss of the first-person point of view aspects of the book. While reading the
The book is different than the movie because it is and its both the same people they both let the same idea and they are very different but yet they are almost the same. Introduction The book from the movie when they did different. Transition the book from the movie when they did different things. Thesis The differences between the book and the film version of The Hobbit show how that audiences of today need more action/entertainment in their Heroic Journeys.
If The Hobbit trilogy had depended on the two movie plan, Peter Jackson could have preserved his Middle-earth winning strip, as The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey had a great storyline set up that pushed everything into excitment. You can tell examining this movie that The Hobbit legacy could have been a lean monster of action and experience without added so much total screen time, because if you break up rudiments of The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug between the opening and closing segment, you could have had two actually excellent three plus hours
The thought that is running through all our heads when we are in English class is, can 't we just watch the movie? The answer is no, we can 't just watch the movie because the book has many major details that the movie does not include. For our age, reading the book will have a major impact on our life ahead, how we look at the world, and how we look at others. Some of us may be unhappy that we are reading the book and not just watching the movie, but we need to realize, that not only with The Hobbit but with all movies, they are vastly different from the books.
