This gives an exemplar of the ‘Tookish side’ calling Bilbo to adventure. “‘Yes, you have! Twice now. My pardon. I give it you. In fact I will go so far as to send you on this adventure. Very amusing for me, very good for you- and profitable too, very likely, if you ever get over it’”{Tolkien, The Hobbit 19}. This demonstrates Gandalf being the ‘ call to adventure’ by insisting Bilbo go on his

The call to adventure in most novels is, people or creatures soon become a hero’s dwelling and ask them to go on an adventure or journey with them. Bilbo’s call to adventure in The Hobbit was; Gandalf came and told Bilbo about the dwarves’ situation and the huge party the dwarves are going to have at Bilbo’s house before they set off on their quest. During the party, Gandalf tells Bilbo he will be the burglar. “Let’s have no more argument. I have chosen Mr. Baggins and that ought

Before the game Coach Boone is telling the team how even if they lose they will still be champions. Coach Yoast also says "I hope you boys have learned as much from me this year as I've learned from you. You've taught this city how to trust the soul of a man rather than the look of him. And I guess it's about time I joined the club".This shows that Coach Yoast is very proud of his team. He is saying how they have taught him stuff even though he is the coach. They have showed him that you should always follow someone's personality, not how good or bad they look on the

Throughout my life, I have never been satisfied. I am always striving for more. I want to make an impact with this life I have, and not waste any second of it. I feel as though it is my obligation to not only be inspired, but be the inspired. It’s

“Going on from there was the bravest thing he ever did. The tremendous things that happened afterward were as nothing compared to it. He fought the real battle in the tunnel alone, before he ever saw the vast danger that lay in wait” (132). In J.R.R.Tolkien’s The Hobbit, the reader is taken through a parable that follows Bilbo Baggins on the ‘Hero’s Journey.’ This fantasy classic begins with an ‘everyman’ hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, who takes on a perilous journey to reclaim the dwarves’ homeland, The Lonely Mountain. After being spurred into action by Gandalf, the herald and mentor figure, Bilbo finds himself going on a pernicious venture that contradicts his docile nature, pushing him to play the role of

In J.R.R Tolkien’s fantasy novel “The Hobbit”, Bilbo Baggins likes to keep to himself, safe and sound in his cozy home, until Gandalf pushes him to go on an adventure with the dwarves. Bilbo is very insecure about himself, and is very uncomfortable-but Gandalf sees potential in Bilbo that Bilbo himself cannot. Like Gandalf pushed Bilbo, it is important to have a “Gandal” in our lives. It is important to have a “Gandalf”, because they push us to our full potential, they believe in us, and they help us to be the best version of ourselves that we can be. If Gandalf had not seen potential in Bilbo, then he would have never pushed and encouraged him to go on the adventure.

There are many situations that inspire people to challenge themselves to become a better person or a successful person in life. In the two articles we read in class, both authors were inspired and passionate about finding ways to be successful and have a better life. Baca was inspired to learn how to read and write, so he could express his ideas, beliefs and how he felt in life. Baca stated, “Writing bridged my divided life of prisoner and free man. Writing was water that cleansed the wound and fed the parched root of my heart.’’ For Baco, writing has helped him get justice and becoming a better person. On the other hand, Dr Steve Wright was inspired to find success and happiness by doing activities that have ‘’Flow.’’ Like the two authors,

In the action adventure film The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Peter Jackson uses a variety of conventions and cinematic techniques to explore and amplify the emotional intensity of particular scenes. The film follows a traditional action adventure plot whereby heroes defeat villains in a battle where good triumphs over evil and disputes are resolved by physical force or violence. It’s the story of a young, ordinary hobbit named Bilbo Baggins, who lives a peaceful life at Bag End, until Gandalf the wizard pays him a visit where he accepts to set out on an unexpected quest with 13 dwarves.

Prior to the quest, the protagonist is a well-respected and conservative hobbit. He is very neat and methodic. Bilbo Baggins is a simple, routine-loving hobbit who wants nothing more than to live his quiet life inside his home. He does not want to go on adventures or risk missing his next meal. Tolkien commences to develop the story by describing Bilbo’s family, The Bagginses: “They never had any adventures or did anything unexpected.” (Tolkien 3). Certainly Bilbo and his father’s side of family are like most hobbits, comfortable and complacent. When Gandalf invites him to be part of an adventure his respond is negative “ Nasty disturbing uncomfortable things!“ (Tolkien 4). His answer reflects the way many hobbits view adventures. However Bilbo has inherited a streak of adventurousness from

Remember the Titans is a film from 2000 displaying a true story of a racially divided football team from the 1970s. The movie highlights the relationships of the black and white people, and how they learned to interact with each other in a time when this was not the way of life. It brings up a number of questions throughout, of what is right and what is wrong, and really challenges the characters, making it a very interesting movie to watch. I have seen this movie many times, and each time I feel like I get something new out of it. It is a movie that can be used as a teaching tool, it does a great job of interpreting not only what was happening in the United States of America at that time, but social psychology concepts through real life
