The Hobbit
The hobbit is a movie about a hobbit named Bilbo who was living peacefully in his hobbit hole until one day Gandalf the wizard shows up and brings all these dwarfs so that Bilbo could go on a adventure. But Bilbo didn’t want to leave his house and so he told them that he was not going to go but then changed his mind and went after them. The dwarf Thorin didn’t want BIlbo to come though because Bilbo wasn’t a burglar as Gandalf had told the dwarfs that he was. So he doubted Bilbo and thought that he was useless. He was always telling everyone that Bilbo shouldn’t have come because all that he would do is drag them down but then Bilbo saved his life and that's when he changed his mind about Bilbo.

The group’s goal is to take their gold back

But then the orcs find them again and almost kill them but then some elfs come out of nowhere and kill the orcs. I also like it how Bilbo ended up getting out of his comfort zone to help the dwarfs. What I didn’t like is how the beginning of the movie is kind of boring. I also didn’t like how Gandalf abandoned them like a million times to get help or something else.

I learned that sometimes it is a good thing to go out of your comfort zone. Because when you go out of your comfort zone you can find new things. You also can do more things because you are going outside of your normal routine. Another thing that happens when you go outside of your comfort zone you can get more things done. So it is always better to go outside of your comfort zone then to stay in it.

I liked the dwarfs the best for many reasons. One reason is the dwarfs are nice. Another reason is they went through hell and so they are trying to get back onto their feet from the fall of their kingdom. The main reason though on why I like the dwarfs the most is because the elfs abandoned them and they still didn’t give up. And the orcs attacked them after smaug and they didn’t give

    Unlike Bilbo, Thorin is not a hero, and even the author uses authorial intrusion to state that, “dwarves are not heroes” (213) since they value wealth over the greater good. Even though Thorin is not a hero, he still struggles with internal conflict much like Bilbo, but instead of the dual nature Bilbo struggles against, he struggles between greed and generosity. Greed causing conflicts and corruption is a recurring theme throughout the story, not just by…

    The plot of the story, The Dwarves quest to reclaim their homeland, happens because Thorin is loyal to his forefathers and feels obligated to find their long-forgotten gold, as well as restore honor to Thorin and his descendant’s name. Bilbo is also included in the company because the Dwarves are loyal to Gandalf, and trust Gandalf. Bilbo shows loyalty towards the Dwarves throughout the novel by putting himself in dangerous situations to help or save the Dwarves, such as saving them from the spiders in Mirkwood, or freeing them from the Elvish prison. Bilbo's display of loyalty and heroism causes the Dwarves to show a sense of greater devotion as the story progresses. The ending of the novel shows a form of disloyalty of the Hobbits of the Shire towards Bilbo. Bilbo's friends and relatives declared Bilbo dead, auctioned off his valued items, and later try to distance themselves from the Hobbit because they believe he has changed. Bilbo's friends and relatives from the beginning of the novel being disloyal at the end act as a contrast to the Dwarves being loyal to Bilbo at the…

    “With a Shriek that deafened men, felled trees and split stone, Smaug shot spouting into the air, turned and crashed down on high ruin”(Tolkien 224).This is the last we hear of Smaug, before his death in The Hobbit. Smaug is the last major problem between the company and the treasure, and needs to be stopped in order for the treasure to go back to Thorin’s family. Bard a member of Laketown, takes the challenge trying to protect his town, and not caring or knowing what this could do for someone else, for example the dwarves. This would eventually lead to war over greed for the gold by Thorin. Something common in today's society is greed, greed for money, materialistic things, and other things. It’s become common, and is heard on the news often of people that could not keep it from happening, it leads to fights and other things, but the unlikely does happen sometimes and a accomplishment could come out of it. In the Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, Great accomplishments are shown by Bilbo, but not without the help of others. \…

    Bilbo was one you would never expect to do anything unexpected. He was well respected and renowned in the land of the Shire, being one who scoffed and crinkled his nose at the thought of adventure.

But he does more than that, he transforms into a hero.…

    “Soon the goblins had a ring of smoke and flame all round the dwarves, a ring which they kept from spreading outwards; but it closed slowly until the running fire was licking the fuel piled under the trees. Smoke was in Bilbo’s eyes, he could feel the heat of the flames( even though he was so high up in the trees); and through the reek he could see the goblins dancing round and round in a circle like people round a midsummer bonfire. Outside the ring of dancing warriors stood the wolves at a respectful distance watching and waiting to devour the first person that dropped dead out of the treetops. Bilbo could hear the goblins beginning a horrible song, and with that the flames were under Gandalf the wizards tree. In a moment it caught the others and went up like a rocket, when it was just beneath Bilbo’s, he closed his eyes, ready to die when...” As it can be seen Biblo and company were in many tight spots throughout this adventure, and he could not have done it all on his own. That is where Bilbo had to use the three themes of luck, courage and good sense to overcome evil and stay alive.…

    Why Is Tolkien Wrong

    Tolkien is wrong because if you remember in the beginning of the book it says that they saw the elves after the dragon came and destroyed and burned the whole town.In the movie it shows that after the dragon destroyed and burned the whole town they saw the elf king just standing there on the top of the hill with his elf army after the town was destroyed. Tolkien is also right because when the dwarves were being attacked by the orcs.Then that guy was distracting the orcs animals with his rabbits.Then when everything went wrong, he orcs found out that it was just a distraction, but then the elf King and his army saved the dwarves lives. At the end, I would think that the elf King is bad because the rods have the best army and weapons and if…
