In the “Fellowship of the Ring” written by J.R.R. Tolkien and it reveals a new world of elves, magic, men, dwarves, hobbits, and other unworldly creatures. Middle Earth is the name of the lands every creature inhabits, and like our world, it is divided up and has different realms of elves, dwarves, men and so forth. Much to my surprise I enjoyed the book and found it was very intriguing. While I was reading further into the book I became more drawn into the plot and main characters. The “Fellowship of the Ring” is part of a trilogy and I would enjoy reading the other two books in the series. The story commences with a narrative speech spoken by Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit of the Shire, and gives the reader the background of Middle Earth. Gandalf the Grey is in the Shire and decides to visit Bilbo while he is getting ready for his 111th birthday, which commences the same night. During the birthday party Bilbo decides to play a little trick on his guests with his special ring and disappears before their very eyes as he slips on his ring. Bilbo runs to his home and packs up his belongings and departs for a journey, while he’s packing Gandalf arrives to speak to Bilbo. Before Bilbo leaves the Shire, he leaves the ring and everyone of his belongings to Frodo. Frodo arrives back to Bilbo’s home and sees Bilbo has left, and discovers Bilbo has left the ring for him. As he examines the ring Gandalf enters the room and speaks to Frodo about the origin of the ring and the dangers of
This is Bilbo’s acceptance of the adventure. Next Bilbo got help from a supernatural aid; a ring. He came across the ring underground in the Goblins territory right before he encountered Gollum. The ring turned out to be Gollum’s and was very important to him, but still Bilbo took it for himself; and that was a smart idea, as it became quite a useful tool throughout his journey. With it he escaped Gollum’s lair; “Gollum was defeated. He dared go no further. He had lost : lost his prey, and lost, too, the only thing he had ever cared about, his precious” (Tolkien 87). The ring helped Bilbo escape the goblins, who Bilbo encountered shortly after fleeing from Gollum. The ring also helped Bilbo escape from the treacherous spiders he and the dwarves came across later on in the story. Finally, Bilbo crossed the threshold, or in other worlds, left the old world behind. The morning after the dwarves had convinced Bilbo to join them, Bilbo found his house trashed, but the dwarves gone. So he assumed they went on without him. Ten minutes before he was due at the Green Dragon Inn, Gandalf appeared at his house informing him that they were all waiting for him to arrive. Flustered, Bilbo was shoved out of his house towards the Inn, without

J.R.R Tolkien’s The Hobbit is arguably one of the most popular children 's books of all time. The novel, because it includes characters such as trolls, elves, giants, goblins, and others is the reason that this story is a fairytale. This fairytale centers on a little hobbit known as Bilbo Baggins. It tracks the expedition of a group of dwarves, and a wizard, Gandalf, and their burglar, Bilbo as they travel to retrieve treasure that had been stolen from them long ago. The hobbit journeyed far, starting at Bilbo 's tiny, earthy home in the ground, then to Mirkwood forest, and to the Mountain where the dragon Smaug nests with its vast treasures. Tolkien makes good use of imagery in his writing, and it is quite apparent in this work. The imagery is typically either dark or light and directly correlates to Bilbo’s mood. J.R.R Tolkien uses light and dark imagery in his novel The Hobbit to effectually set an uncanny and secretive mood and to foretell future activities such as Bilbo 's expedition through Mirkwood and his escapade in the Mountain.
The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien is novel about a hobbit who comes to the realization that there was more to him than what meets the eye. In the Middle Earth, around the third age, Bilbo Baggins embarks on the adventure of a lifetime.

The first chapter in the book begins in a small village, following the book of The Hobbit. Bilbo Baggins celebrates his 111th (or eleventy-first, as it is called in the story) birthday on the same day, 22 September, that his younger cousin and adopted heir Frodo Baggins celebrates his coming of age at thirty-three. At the birthday party, Bilbo departs from the Shire, the land of the Hobbits. Bilbo does so by using the magic ring (that he had found on his journey) to disappear and is aided by Gandalf the Wizard with a flash and puff of smoke, leading many in the Shire to believe he has gone mad. He leaves Frodo his remaining belongings, including his home, Bag End, and the Ring. It becomes apparent that
Tolkien uses a Fantasy / Mythical theme throughout the book. The book has different battles and skirmishes that occur. They have to fight off Orcs and the Dark Riders all throughout the story. I believe this book is told by the third person point of view. It is a way to help the readers understand and relate to the story. The title gives you a hint and explains what the whole point of the book is about. In this book, Frodo’s biggest quest is finding all the people that will be a part of the Fellowship of the Ring.
