There is a hero in every story. This is the story of a small man who ends up on a journey and returns changed..

Undergoing the process of becoming a hero, Bilbo emerges as a hero, more confident and competent than ever before.

In the chapters 1-5 Bilbo Baggins gave into the Took side of his family. The two sides that he has are very different from each other. On the tookish side he goes on many adventure. The baggins side has more of a chill side than adventurous side. The tookish side one of the ways was were when he went on the adventure with the took side of his family.

As children develop into adults, certain events and time periods stand out as the reason for important changes in their character. J.R.R. Tolkien portrayed the main character of The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, as a child on his trip into adulthood. Throughout The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, the protagonist, changes from a childlike hobbit to a fully matured hero. J.R.R. Tolkien divides the change in Bilbo's character into the three major part of the book, prior to the quest, during the quest, and after the quest.

What makes a person undertake a mission to reach their goal? People like Farah Ahmedi, Ernesto, and Bilbo Baggins who had their reasons to take risks. All three of them had gotten help from people they haven't even met before. These strangers helped each of them to step out and accomplish their goals. Bilbo, Farah, and Ernesto had something in common which was that something was holding them back. They had to take risks so they all stopped worrying and went on adventures to reach their goals.

Many heroes are courageous; they overcome any obstacle that comes in their way, but not all them were heroes in the beginning of their adventures. For example, Bilbo, from the novel The Hobbit, started out like a regular hobbit, simple, quite, and liked the company of his own home. But as the adventure progressed, Bilbo was no longer a regular hobbit, he was a hero. Bilbo went from a hobbit to a hero going through many obstacles in his adventure, when he escapes from Gollum, kills the spider that trapped him, and when he goes into the mountains by himself.

We learned a lot about the hero cycle recently. We know that heroes have a significant birth or lineage, a call to adventure, helpers, elixir—an item or weapon that possesses special powers that tend to help the hero, crossing of the threshold (normal world into that of the hero), and many departures normally followed by triumphant returns in which our hero is stronger and wiser.

What is this character we call a “hero”? A hero is being of abundant power, defiance, and intrepidity that conquer evil despite of impregnable obstacle to rescue the breath of inculpable lives that cannot defend for themselves. However, “hero” gives an exclusively altered significance in J.R.R Tolkien’s fictional tale The Hobbit, as our hero is a selfish, lazy hobbit named Bilbo Baggins. Conflicting to our meaning of a hero, Mr. Baggins’ life and stability isn’t evaluated aside the authority of his weapon, or the expanse of enemies he has overcome. Instead, his capability and bravery is built on his hidden sneaks, courage and bravery, and his trustworthiness to his acquaintances.

When I was a kid, I used to watch a movie and I wish this hypothetical will happen in my life. I think the hero is real like Spiderman, Batman, and others. However, those are not the only type of hero. When I am reading “The Hobbit” novel, I find the Bilbo is a hero. The hero is an individual who contributes as a role model and protect people from bad things in the society and the community.

In every story, there is the hero, a man of strength, courage and swordsmanship who slays dragons and saves princesses. However, in The Hobbit you have the most unlikely, unexpected hero. Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit who resides in his hobbit hole and lives an ordinary and exceedingly comfortable life. You would not expect a creature of his size and stature to save kingdoms and lands. But he inevitably gains strengths and abilities that enable him to become a hero. Much like him is Frodo Baggins, Bilbo’s younger nephew. He is also an unusual, non-traditional hero. Bilbo and Frodo both sought for adventures gained courage, perseverance, and were loyal and true to their companions. Although, Bilbo had more external conflicts in his adventure and Frodo experienced more of an internal struggle in his adventure, they both shared one common characteristic: they were traditional heroes that became non-traditional in the end.

“Heroes are made by the path they choose, not the powers they are graced with”

What does it mean to be a hero? Merriam Webster defines a hero as being a man admired for his achievements and noble qualities. But, what are those noble qualities? They are bravery, selflessness, and strength. In J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy novel, The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit, embarks on an epic quest for gold and revenge at the behest of thirteen dwarves and the renowned wizard, Gandalf. While many of the dwarves and secondary characters display one or two of the aforementioned heroic traits, most fail to completely measure up to the standard. However, this still leaves room for the possibility of Bilbo being a hero. Does he exemplify each necessary trait? Or does he fall short in one, two, or even all three categories? Fortunately for Mister Baggins, the answer is yes. In fact, there are several scenes where Bilbo demonstrates his previously unknown qualities, unknown to himself at least.

Nobody likes living a bad life. Things that you do in your past years can lead to living a bad life. Most people have the choice to succeed or not, it's whether or not you want to. People don’t understand that things that you do in your younger years have an extreme affect on how you live your life once you grow up. There is good news though!

Bilbo Baggins lives a simple life with his fellow hobbits in the shire, until the wizard Gandalf arrives and convinces him to join a group of dwarves on a quest to reclaim the kingdom of Erebor. The journey takes Bilbo on a path through treacherous lands swarming with orcs, goblins and other dangers, not the least of which is an encounter with Gollum and a simple gold ring that is tied to the fate of Middle Earth in ways Bilbo cannot even
