The Hobbit: A Treacherous Journey
In the novel, The Hobbit, they are making a treacherous journey to a new terrain called the Misty Mountains. Bilbo and the dwarves could say there destination is unknown or ¨wild.¨ That is kind of what I felt the first day I attended middle school. There was many different things I had to do like learn my surroundings, cope with the new terrain, and had to tough it out. The first day of middle school was pretty rough because I didn't know many people there. I knew none of the teachers and what I had to do. Eventually I got the rhythm of it but it was still pretty terrifying. I came from a elementary school where most the kids there went to central or carrollton so I lost many of my friends and had to make new ones. Kind of like when Bilbo

    “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.…

My grades went from straight A's to a C average. My mom started to worry about me; she said I wasn't reaching my potential and was disappointed how I wasn't dedicated in school anymore.…

    Reflection on the Hobbit .

    The final sense that I understood from the novel is that even if someone doesn’t seem like they are capable to complete something or act a certain way there is always hope or room for someone to grow. I say that this is a big part of the final part of the book is because Bilbo changes so much and grows so much as a hobbit then you would have expected him to. Another big thing that I took from the book is that if you were working together and not scared to ask for help from anyone you meet you will be able to reach the goal you were working towards or whatever you are trying to get to. If you are not afraid to ask for help the more likely you will complete whatever you are trying to.…
