The Hobbit And Divergent Comparison

The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien is said to be one of the greatest children's novels of all time. The novel, due to its use of such characters as goblins, elves, trolls, giants, and others is in tradition, a fairy tale. The tale centers on a small hobbit by the name of Bilbo Baggins. It follows the journey of a band of dwarves, a wizard named Gandalf, and their robber, Bilbo on their way to retrieving treasure that had long been taken away from them. The hobbit traveled all over Middle-Earth, beginning with Bilbo's tiny hobbit-hole in the ground, to Mirkwood forest, to finally reaching the Mountain in which the dragon Smaug lives. Tolkien uses a large amount of imagery in his writing which can been seen through settings in The Hobbit. The

The Hunger Games, Ender's Game, and Star Wars all have many similarities and differences in Their Ordinary World,Call to Adventure and test allies and enemies. You may think that all these books are the same but there not if you look at all of these books and go deeper into what they really mean you would see that they all have one mishen

One way they are similar is because in their “Separation stages” they both were very drastically removed from their normal life. For example in The Hobbit, Bilbo didn’t know that he was going on an adventure until the dwarves showed up at his house and told him, so going into the journey he was unprepared. In A Long Way Gone, Ishmaels country was hit by war so he had to drastically run away from his home and was unprepared as well. The two journeys are also similar because Bilbo and Ishmael were both face to face with death during their journey. Like how in A Long Way Gone Ishmael was involved in war so he could have died at any time and Bilbo could have died when he defeated Gollum, and freed the dwarves from the Giant spiders and the Elves. Bilbo and Ishmael's journey is also similar because they both develop into better people/hobbit during their journey. In The Hobbit, Bilbo became more adventurous and less scared and in A Long Way Gone Ishmael matured and is more behaved in his new world. It is clear that the hero’s journey in The Hobbit and A Long Way Gone are very

Since the publication of The Hobbit in 1937, critical readers have argued over whether the book is a fantasy, a fairy tale, a fable, a romance, an epic, or a novel. Classifying the book is one way of explaining its strengths and weaknesses and understanding the immense appeal it has held for many decades.

The book is not a novel in the tradition of the great realistic novels of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries; it is much closer to the idea of a romance, a genre that accommodates the improbable and even the supernatural.
