Bilbo Baggins is introduced as just a normal hobbit smoking a pipe on his front porch, when suddenly an old man appears on his doorstep. Bilbo is perplexed as to what an old man with a cloak and staff is doing in his house. After the queer man introduces himself, Bilbo recognizes him as the wizard Gandalf, who has presented amazing fireworks on special holidays in Hobbiton, where the hobbits live. (Tolkien 5-9)
When Gandalf asks if Bilbo would be interested in going on an adventure, Bilbo says no. He invites the wizard to come over for tea sometime but only so he doesn’t seem rude. In reality, he wants nothing to do with Gandalf and his adventures. (Tolkien 6-9)
When the doorbell rings the next afternoon, Bilbo assumes it is Gandalf. Suprisingly,

He asks Gollum, “What have I got in my pocket?” referring to the ring he had found. Gollum can’t guess the right answer. (Tolkien 87-88)
Since he doesn’t like that Bilbo won, he goes to his island in the middle of the lake to get his “precious,” a golden ring that makes its wearer invisible. (Tolkien 89-90)
Gollum doesn’t find it for one very simple reason: that the ring is the same ring that Bilbo had found. Gollum suspects the hobbit of stealing it and runs at him, angry. Bilbo luckily happens to slip on the ring. (Tolkien 91-92)
Gollum can’t see him anymore, so he assumes that Bilbo is ahead of him. The hobbit quietly follows Gollum to the exit. (Tolkien 94-95)
Goblins are crowded around the exit, so Gollum comes to a halt. Bilbo leaps over him, runs past the goblins, and just barely squeezes through the door and makes his escape. (Tolkien 95-99)
Still invisible, Bilbo discovers that he has made it to the other side of the Misty Mountains. The tunnels took him all the way through the range. (Tolkien 100)
He soon finds Gandalf and the dwarves debating whether or not they should leave without him. (Tolkien 101-102)
Bilbo appears in front of them and explains his adventure. However, he doesn’t mention the ring and how it helped him. (Tolkien

After being notified, the goblins arrive. (Tolkien 111)
Gandalf attacks the Wargs. Just then, the Lord of the Eagles sees the company’s predicament. (Tolkien 113-114)
With several other eagles, he picks up the travelers, and flies them to safety. (Tolkien 118-121)
The eagles are fortunately friends of Gandalf. They provide food and shelter for Bilbo, the dwarves, and Gandalf until they are ready to resume their journey. (Tolkien 121-122)
Gandalf disappoints the company by teeling them that he must leave. However, he says that he’ll stay around long enough to help them find food and ponies to make it through Mirkwood, the last obsticle standing between them and the Lonely Mountain where Smaug resides. (Tolkien 125)
He leads them to the house of Beorn, a skin-changer who has a great wooden house in the middle of the woods outside Mirkwood. In order not to startle Beorn, Gandalf cleverly takes the dwarves to Beorn’s house a few at a time. (Tolkien 128-136)
He tells the skin-changer the story of their adventure in the mountain. Beorn is amused because he hates goblins, as goblins are enimies of nature. (Tolkien 130-137)
Beorn offers the company much-needed food and shelter. Tolkien
Later on in the book the party of dwarves and Bilbo are traversing the mountainside and they get captured by a group of goblins. The dwarves eventually
He needed to open up to get to know others and have trust in other people instead of following his anger emotion. The whole adventure was to help inspire Thorin to become a better leader for the dwarves. They had more than enough gold, but Thorin wanted to keep all of the gold and does not want to share it with anybody. Gandalf knew Bilbo would help make Thorin realize what is the right thing to do and what is the wrong thing to do, but all of this can be easily change because of wanting more power and wealth. It was a good thing the dwarves and Bilbo went on the adventure together and fought against many villains.
There are three ways that Bilbo baggins has given into the Took side of him. One way is when Gandalf appears and shows him a note the dwarves left, agreeing to give him one-fourteenth of the profits if he accompanies them to reclaim their treasure. Bilbo runs to meet the dwarves, forgetting his handkerchief. Another way Bilbo goes out of his comfort zone is when Bilbo and the dwarves approach the Misty Mountains. The sense of danger increases and, once again, Bilbo thinks of home. Gandalf warns them that they are at the edge of the Wild and that they can stay with his friend Elrond in Rivendell. The third way is when With whips, the Goblins drive Bilbo and the dwarves to the cavern of the Great Goblin. On the way, they see their ponies,
Before realizing just how large of a journey was ahead of him, Gandalf, a well-known wizard, shows up on Bilbo’s doorstep looking for an adventure seeker. Gandalf seems to drag an unwilling Bilbo into the middle of this adventure as the burglar, or the
In Chapter Eight, the dwarves are captured in webs by giant spiders. Bilbo, who is alone, sees that he has a sword that he had named, Sting, and the ring that he had took from gollum. He uses the ring to turn invisible and slices the webs. The dwarves spot a feast and gets captured again by the elves. Bilbo, who remains invisible, follows the captured dwarves and enters the palace of the
Gandalf demonstrates some of the most heroic traits of any character in the entire story. This is made evident early on when the wizard saves the dwarves and Bilbo from a band of unintelligent trolls and later from an underground civilization of goblins. In both of these situations he uses his clever instincts to outsmart his foes. For example, when the group was captured by trolls, he did an impersonation of one of them enabling the trio to argue for a very long amount of time in order to distract them. Eventually, when he leaves to take care of his then unknown business, Gandalf entrusts Bilbo as leader of
Him being at his home being comfortable and sitting outside and smoking his pipe at the beginning of the story. The here comes Gandalf with his long staff, and Bilbo greets him and say good morning to him. Gandalf says “What do you mean? Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?” Bilbo says all of them and invites Gandalf to sit down with him. Gandalf says that he does not have time to sit he is looking for someone to go on an adventure. Bilbo tells him he won’t find anyone around these parts. People who live in the Hill are quiet folks they aren’t into adventures. The rising action of the Hobbit is when Gandalf appears and asks Bilbo if he would like to go on an adventure. Bilbo of course at first says no and that hobbit’s do not go on adventures. Bilbo invites Gandalf tea and Gandalf accepts and before he leaves he leaves a sign on Bilbo’s front door. The next day Bilbo up and doing the things he would normally do when he hears a knock at his door. He thought it was Gandalf but it was Dwalin. Then two more dwarves Kili and Fili. Five more dwarves show up Dori, Nori, Ori, Oin, and Gloin. Then Gandalf arrives with four more dwarves Bifur, Bofur, Bombur, and Thorin. They all start discussing the adventure, the map, and who was going to do what. Bilbo is excited about the adventure but
He keeps everything to himself and has a low sense of confidence and wisdom of such any undertaking venture. Until 13 dwarves and a wizard came long, Bilbo was ruzed into helping the dwarves asset their gold over the brimming mountains abducted by a fire- breathing dragon, Smaug. Throughout their march to the Lonely Mountains, the dwarves and hobbit were interrogated with spiders, flies, trolls, goblins, elves and Lake men. Through the first part of the campaign, the dwarves were tramping through a lightness, dungeon-like tunnels with bilbo being hoisted up by Dori. On spur of moment, Bilbo was grappled from behind and no one knew who or what it was. The hobbit fell and bowled over a boulder making him unconscious. Furthermore into the dim tunnels Bilbo has awaken, and was challenged to exchange riddles with a creature that threatened to devour him if he does not answer his riddles correctly. Small slimy creature, no one knew where it derived from. Golum was its name. Throughout the riddles, Bilbo obtained assurance from not getting eaten by
In the end, they get the treasure from Smaug and Bilbo goes home safely. Bilbo is portrayed as a coward. Bilbo is a coward because he condescends adventures even though he has never been on one. Also, he believes that any uncomfort on the journey is unacceptable and finally, he puts on the ring and hides from battle. In the book The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins is portrayed as a coward because he condescends adventures, he believes that journeys must be lived in
Before Gandalf arrived at Bilbo’s home, Bilbo could be described as comfortable, laid-back, and stubborn. When Gandalf arrived at Bilbo’s home, he begins to discuss finding someone to bring along on his journey. Bilbo shows disinterest in this journey and states that adventures are “nasty, disturbing uncomfortable things” (Tolkein, 4). After their discussion, Gandalf leaves
Gandalf helps him prepare for this trip and Bilbo leaves in front of the entire town at his own birthday party. Everybody is confused because the way in which he disappeared was magical, through the assistance of a special ring of power. Before Bilbo departs he leaves the ring to Frodo. Later, Gandalf informs Frodo that he must take a quest to The Crack of Doom to destroy the ring before a dark enemy is able to obtain it and add it to the other rings which he has already acquired giving him absolute power.
On the journey, Bilbo and the dwarves encounter all sorts of villains and obstacles. While passing thru Elven country Bilbo and the dwarves stay at the house of Elrond, an old friend of Gandalf. During their journey they run into Trolls, Goblins and Giant Spiders. Bilbo does several things that help
The hobbits run to the top of the hill, and they begin to fight. Frodo is stabbed by a ringwraith, and then Strider comes and begins to fight them off. Once the Ringwraiths are gone, Strider goes to Frodo and tries to help him, but he can't. Frodo has been stabbed with a Morgual Blade; the only person who can save Frodo is Lord Elrond, who lives in Rivendell. Once Frodo wakes up he realizes that he is in Rivendell, and Elrond had saved him from dying. Elrond tells Frodo to stay in bed, and rest until the council meeting in the afternoon.
Gandalf leaves the Shire and warns Frodo to keep the ring secret until he returns. When Gandalf does years later, he tells Frodo of what he has discovered about Bilbo's ring; it is the “One Ring” of Sauron the Dark Lord. The ring is evil and is needed by Sauron to enslave all the people’s of Middle Earth.
Frodo Baggins lived among the peaceful hills called The Shire, among with his friends. It was a normal, but peaceful day in The Shire, where Frodo sat by the tree in the woods, and read a book. During Frodo’s reading, he hear a wagon rattling closer from the roads, and singing. Immediately Frodo knew who the voice of the singing is. His friend Gandalf The Gray arriving to see his old friend Bilbo Baggins. Bilbo has carried a ring that belong to a dark evil which stirs in Mordor. The ring has passed on to Frodo, knowing the threat it can cause, making Frodo to make an unexpected journey to save his home, and the world.
