When you think of a hero, is the first character to pop in your head a little hobbit named Bilbo Baggins? In most cases, people think of Superman or Hercules, but in The Hobbit, an unexpected hero emerges and changes the name for all heroes to come. The Hobbit is a novel about Bilbo Baggins and his journey, with thirteen dwarves and a wizard, seeking the treasure stolen by the dragon, Smaug. While on this unexpected journey, Bilbo and his companions overcome many obstacles to eventually get to the treasure and retrieve it. Throughout the story, Bilbo develops into a courageous man, who indeed, is a hero. Richard Tyre wrote an article, “You Can’t Teach Tolkien,” and he explains his theory in which he connects multiple story’s plot with six elements. The Hobbit, is assuredly a prime example of Tyre’s theory because it follows all six steps throughout the story simultaneously. The six elements are; “(1) those who hunt for treasure, (2) must go alone, (3) at night, (4) and when they find it, (5) they must leave some of their blood behind, (6) and the treasure is never what they expected” (Tyre 19). These elements are steps in which a character must take to emerge into a hero in the end. Bilbo Baggins is the hero in The Hobbit, but he doesn’t start off as the hero. He has always had heroic traits but throughout the novel, he pursues those six steps and in the resolution, he is transformed into an actual hero.

Getting yourself and others out of a sticky situation is a very difficult feat to accomplish, but Bilbo manages to save himself and the dwarves multiple times. If Bilbo had not acted alone for the good of the group, then Thorin and Company would not have had its success in the end. There are many examples in the book when Bilbo saves the entire group from danger. One notable instance is when Bilbo led the dwarves to Smaug’s lair and devised a plan to steal the treasure. Bilbo also managed to lead the group out of danger when Smaug was plotting vengeance on them and Lake-town. If Bilbo had stayed back and let Thorin and the dwarves decide on everything, no doubt they would have failed in the expedition or worse. Also, scattered throughout the

Bilbo Baggins is one of the main characters of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit. Being a main character in a story, especially an adventure story, typically comes with some pretty hefty responsibilities. More often than not, the main character is also the hero. A hero is defined as “a person, typically a man, who is admired or idealized for courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities,” and these are not necessarily qualities readily attributed to Bilbo Baggins (oxforddictionaries.com). This essay will look at three ways in which Bilbo contrasts the traditional characteristics of a hero and what transformations he ends up making to fit the mold more closely. It will examine his lineage, his strength, and his attitude as well as the changes he makes throughout the story.

Sometimes, looks can be deceiving. Nobody can predict the success of a person simply according to his/her appearance. In William Golding’s Lord of the Flies, the consequences of making the incorrect decision based on one’s looks is revealed. In this novel, a group of young British boys are stranded on an isolated island with no adults as a result of a plane crash. They must remain civilized and create rules themselves to ensure that order is not lost. To do so, they elect a fair-haired and attractive boy named Ralph as the island’s chief. However, when a strange beast makes its appearance on the island, panic rules over the boys. Ralph’s control over the group is diminished as Jack takes over. All faith in being saved is lost when

As Bilbo stood up as a leader; goblins had created one of several problems for Bilbo. As an attempt to start Bilbo’s role as a burglar. Bilbo had decided to attempt to pickpocket the goblin as practice. This lead to trouble asserting itself among Bilbo ,and Gandalf coming to help where Bilbo learned several things.

Bilbo has a lot of positive traits. Bilbo is really stealthy. He was right behind a troll and it had no idea. With being stealthy Bilbo also has the ability pickpocket even though he got cot. His ability to hid is also good at keeping him from being captured. When thorin came and saw all the dwarves were captured but Bilbo was just out of site.

In the book The Hobbit the main character Bilbo Baggins is not very adventurous however on the other side of his family is. They are known as the Took’s. They are the other side of Bilbo’s family. They are more adventurous than the Baggins. Bilbo and the dwarves go on many adventures that take Bilbo out of his comfort zone he steps into the light of an explorer.

In the novel Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, a group of English boys in their adolescence are stranded on an island. They crash-land while being evacuated because of an atomic war, so the boys must learn to cooperate with each other in order to survive. The boys are civil at first, but the bonds of civilization unfold as the rapacity for power and immediate desires become more important than civility and rescue. The conflict between Ralph, the protagonist, and Jack, the antagonist, represents the conflict between the impulse to civilization and the impulse to savagery, respectively. In Lord of the Flies, Golding uses Ralph and Jack’s struggle for power to show that greed and lust for power can corrupt the best

William Golding’s intriguing novel, Lord of the Flies, is a tale like no other. It’s a story of perseverance, determination, survival, and emotion. Golding does a superb job displaying these traits and so many more throughout this story of fighting, not for your life, but to the death.

This quote show what Thorin thinks of Bilbo and his role in the group. He is doubting his abilities and thinking he would only come in the way of their plan to steal the treasure from Smaug the dragon who is guarding it at misty mountains. Gandalf who lead them to Bilbos house and took his side which got the dwarves to agree on adding him to the group as the 14th member. This quote show that tomorrow they will be starting on their journey.

In chapter 4, Golding uses words that are very descriptive but at the same time, he uses words that are restless and scary. For example, "the sun gazed down like an angry eye" (Golding 82). This shows that the sun was angry at them. Golding also uses a peaceful description, but it also has a restless undertone. For example, "snapping sharks; floods of light; odd succession of mirrors" (Golding 81). These words make the peaceful description strange and unpleasing. But overall, I liked the way Golding wrote this chapter because it is quite descriptive and understandable.

Symbolism is a very important factor in many books. The use of symbolism in William Golding’s novel The Lord of the Flies is the most essential aspect to the function of the story. At first glance you may not think the symbols are very important, but with some in-depth thought you can see how it is necessary to explain the microcosm of an island.
