The Role Of The Elves In Tolkien's Thief '
In Chapter 3, we see how Tolkien presents the elves. In my opinion Tolkien does a good job presenting the elves as good people. I can assure this because of the fact that the elves still welcomed Ganfalf, Bilbo and the dwarves inside their house ( The last homely house). Of course they don't have a problem with Ganfalf and bilbo, but its not exactly the same with the dwarves. Tolkien states that the dwarves and the elves are not the best of friends. This is because the elves hate how the dwarves have a strong passion for gold. This means that the elves just kind of put this aside for a while and still welcomed the dwarves. A good person to me is someone who is always there for you. When times are rough and when times are good. A good person

    The Big Lebowski: What Makes A Good Guy?

    Sometimes, a good guy just wants to ask for compensation for his rug. Sometimes, a good guy could be the one who does not take advantages from others to earn personal profits. This is the Dude in The Big Lebowski being a good guy by not harming anyone else, even he involves in a big trouble. This is also a reflection of the real world, many normal people or even some bad guys in our point of view are actual good guys.

    Comparing Loyalty In Beowulf 'And The Hobbit'

    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…

    Bilbo A Thief Analysis

    I think he was right and wrong to call Bilbo a thief. I feel this way because in beginning since Bilbo did not see Gollum drop the wring, but instead found it on the ground of the cave. It was incorrect for Gollum to call him a thief. Also Bilbo doesn’t know how important the ring is to Gollum and that it was his. Contradicting that, I also felt like it was right for Gollum to call him a thief, because he found it on the ground and he didn’t know who owned the ring, so he should have just left it on the ground. I also felt like it was right for Gollum to call Bilbo a thief because as time passed I feel like Bilbo realized that the ring was Gollum’s but instead of doing the right thing and returning it he decided to keep the ring which was kind…

    Similarities Between The Hobbit And Greed

    Dwarves enjoy treasure consisting of jewelry, gold, weapons, or just treasure in general. They will have no hesitation of fighting back if someone crosses them or if they’re protecting their love ones. There narrator stated, “..there is no knowing what a dwarf will not dare and do for the revenge or recovery of his own” (pg 185, Tolkien). Dwarves had no doubt of fighting back and are warlike, while fighting was a hobbit’s last resort. Both dwarves and elves are great fighters, but even though they’re good fighters, they both have each ways of fighting. Elves are more organized and trained in combat, whereas dwarves are unorganized and uses hammers and axes for combat. Dwarves are very strong people, whereas hobbits and elves aren’t as strong as them. Elves also have a different character traits that is the same or different with the other…

When they get to their temporary home, they meet Elrond, a friend of the elves, and he does not feel to fond with the dwarfs love of gold, but would rather have them loving gold than a dragon who is wicked and cruel to the civilians.

    Race In The Hobbit

    Relationships varied through each group. Despite being only 4-5 feet tall, dwarves were known for their strength and fierceness during wars. Dwarves had conflicts with Elves, but still traded with them, along with Men; they had an okay relationship with hobbits, but where at war with Orcs. Orcs were like a cross between a goblin and a troll, they were ugly and filthy and had hatred for everyone, except for the Wargs. The Wargs were large monstrous, wolf-like creatures who, like the Orcs, hated everyone except for each other. Another monstrous race, were Trolls, but they were monstrous and humanlike, they fought against the Hobbits, Men and Dwarves; they hated the sight of dwarves. Dragons are another hateful…

    Leadership and National Honor Society

    A person of character is, someone to admire, who sets a good example, who knows the difference between right and wrong. To me no one is good or bad. This is a fact that should be kept in mind when we try to judge a person's overall character. We are all different and complex. I think I show most of the elements a person of good character should show. Not only have I been looked up to and admired, but I try to keep as active as possible (a quality younger students may look up to). Joining different sports, excelling in academics, and joining other extracurricular activities, gives me this opportunity and also demonstrates my reliability. Like a person with a good character I like to help anyone that is in need of a little guidance. I've always been known to make people laugh or feel better when they are down, which seems to me like a person with a great character, and want to better life's sometimes harsh obstacles.…

    Essay On The Hobbit

    Hobbits, dragons, orcs, goblins… that is what most people think of when they think J.R.R Tolkien. What they do not think about is Tolkien as who he is: a human. J.R.R Tolkien was obsessed with learning. It was instilled in him from early on. The different ways that learned in his life, including his travel, the death in his life, family religion, linguistics, and, of course, academia, have influenced his work such as The Hobbit. From an early age, Tolkien had major events going on in his life that would shape his literary experience for years to come.…

    According to Cohen the salient marks of a morally good person are that they are just. They treat others justly when distributing goods or services. They do so in a manner that shows no partiality to one particular group over another unless their need is greater. The morally good person is truthful. They demand some measure of moral courage. They tend to do what they deem as morally right even if that means suffering hardships for their stand. They have respectable monetary habits. A morally good person is disposed to good for others. They do it not for themselves but just because it is…
