The first thing the Hobbits noticed was the spiked gate and new houses constructed with straight-sided windows and plain, and gloomily lit. This was the total opposite of what the Shire used to be known for. The Hobbits knocked on the gate, but the guards would not let them through. Merry recognized one of the Shirriffs, Hob Hayward.

    The Hobbit Essay When you read the hobbit, there are many heroic acts and violent action that happen all throughout the book.
