Hobbit

Throughout The Hobbit there are several different themes. The main theme in The Hobbit is to “always face your fears”. Bilbo faces his fears many times during the adventure. That is the main theme because Bilbo and other hobbits are known to not like adventures, or do anything unusual. In the beginning, Bilbo was afraid to even go on the adventure, but by going on the adventure he faced many of his fears. He thinks about not doing many things during the adventure, but yet he faces his fears by doing those things. As they go on he does many things no one would ever expect a hobbit to do. The setting of The Hobbit is Middle Earth, “Well, I should say that you ought to go East and have a look around. After all there is a side-door, and dragons must sleep sometimes, I suppose.” (Tolkien, 25).This relates because it describes what Middle Earth is like. The conflict that occurs in this book, is man v.s. supernatural. An example of that occurring is, “...He hated dragons and their cruel wickedness, and he grieved to remember the ruin of the town of Dale and its merry bells, and the burn banks of the bright river running.” (Tolkien, 50). This quote relates to the theme because it shows what fear Bilbo has to face during the adventure. The plot of The Hobbit is for the dwarves to get their lost treasure back to them. An example of that is, “Bilbo knew, of course, that the riddle-game was sacred and of immense antiquity, and even wicked creatures were afraid to cheat when they played it.” (Tolkien, 50). This quote relates because it describes some fears Bilbo had to face to get back their treasure and to get the mountain back. The theme of The Hobbit is similar to my life in a couple ways. By facing fears, I am growing, becoming stronger, and living life everyday. By facing fears you also gain courage in many ways. Gaining courage and facing fears makes you a lot stronger, and also gives you more self respect. If you face fears you will not only be facing fears, but
