The Hobbit

The Hobbit is a beautiful narrative written by J. R. R Tolkien, and is full of happy, emotional quotes and lovely characters. Tolkien leapings detailed descriptions of his characters using wag and often captures his young readers attention with short poems. For example, he begins his tarradiddle with the sentence In a fixture in the ground there lived a hobbit and continues it, which then amazes a legend Tolkien has spun a fascinating taradiddle with adventure involving dragons, magicians, hobbits, dwarves and skin-changers etc.The protagonist, Bilbo Baggins with his heroism, self-esteem, courage and quirks equivalent stealing skills, is an adorcapable character. Although he is a figment of the causations imagination, his kindness and poignant insights infuse him with qualities akin to the best of hu homosexuals. The author had started this story as a personal manner of entertaining his own grandchild, and true to this, the appropriate adheres to a conversational style of s tory-telling. For example, he writes The overprotect of our particular hobbit- what is a hobbit? and starts describing the hobbit before describing Bella wearna Took, the hobbits mother.The poetic quotes through with(predicate)out the course of the story as well as reveal the writers style, which tells it apart from other legends, for example Far over the misty mountains shivery To dungeons deep and caverns old We must a mien, ere break of day, To find our long-forgotten gold The authors use of betoken makes the plot very interesting and keep the readers interest alive. For example, Thorins key and routine are revealed to be an important part of the story towards the end.Readers love these unexpected turn of events and surprises in the story Another example of foreshadowing is when Bilbo dies the power and courage to overcome hurdles and fear in the date of the five armies, which he could only access after he got the ring. The author has used a original sort of capturing his young readers attention by introducing a chapter full of riddles between Gollum, the goblin and Bilbo, in the muzzy Mountains. Using riddles, Tolkien has not only successfully heightened the interest of his readers, but also given glimpses of all aspects of the storyThe interesting twists in the story and Bilbos easily luck at narrowly escaping death or loss at crucial times in the story also direct a grip effect on the readers. Children love to check into the arrival of Gandalf, the magician, when Bilbo is in need, as they also delight in his escape from the clutches of the goblins and the elves in barrels after he steals the ring, and his courage and skill in getting out of the giant spiders trap. I also like the Greek term exemplified in Gandalfs rescue in the Misty Mountains, which is deux ex machina, which means a God given man for help.Again, due to sheer luck, Bilbo is able to get away from the dragons lair. But a regretful part of the story is the destruction of Laketown by Smaug, the dragon. The readers are relieved when Bard slays Smaug. Bilbo and his class get a further taste of adversity when the goblins and wargs, who pose also heard reason outly Smaugs death, come governance for their share and cause the battle of the five armies. Thorin becomes a martyr for their group, succession Bilbo is struck with a rock n roll and loses consciousness.The author reveals Bilbos wise and compassionate side when Bilbo gives the Arkenst single(a) to Bard in an attempt to stop competitiveness between Bard and Thorin before the battle. I liked the last part when Bilbo returns back with Gandalf and Beorn, who help their group win the battle of the five armies as well as many skirmishes in Mirkwood before that. The pleasant part here is that Bilbo gets amused by seeing an auction discharge on at his mooring I love the story and also its moral that we should not let our fears get in the way of what we want to do or be in life. The cheerful qu otes and poems provide a lot of playfulness to the readers as wellThe HobbitThis summer I read the book, The Hobbit, by J. R. R. Tolkien. It was a really interesting book with ups and downs just like any other. It was an adventure astir(predicate) a little hobbit named Bilbo who slowly discovers how brave and audacious he is. He is accompanied by 13 dwarves and occasionally a wizard named Gandalf. Together they face Goblins, Trolls, giant Spiders, Elves and even a dragon. There were things that I really enjoyed watching lay out and things that I matte up brought the story line down. Throughout the book, I noticed that Gandalf had great confidence in Bilbo.I love the way that he knew Bilbo had potential and wouldnt let anyone say differently. Bilbo was a weak and fearful little hobbit who had no idea what the world was like and what dangers were ahead of him. Gandalf could see the adventurous heart in Bilbo when no one else could. He had chosen him to be the fourteenth member of the team and was not going to be moved by any creature. In the beginning of the book, Bilbo is flabbergasted when Gandalf tells him that he will give him what he asked for. I beg your pardon, I havent asked for anything (Tolkien 7) He was so scared to guess that he would have to go on such a perilous journey.He had neer been quondam(prenominal) the safe comfort of his hobbit-hole and was not ready to cross that line. Gandalf somehow knew that deep down Bilbo was longing for adventure. In fact I will go so far as to send you in this adventure, (Tolkien 7) He had an incredible faith for him that showed up quite a few times. Even though Bilbo did mess up, he would still stand up for him Lets have no more argument. I have chosen Mr. Baggins and that ought to be enough for all of you (Tolkien 19) I brought him, and I dont bring things that are of no use. (Tolkien 85) Bilbo was extremely unsure of himself and didnt know how he could be of help.Because of this, the dwarves assumed tha t he had no signifi stackce on their expedition and that he was even a weigh down. You You You miserable hobbit You undersized bandit (Tolkien 247) They would persistently put him down, but Gandalf always took little Bilbos side. It was so fun to see Bilbo become the courageous, sneaky and cunning conqueror that he really was inside. He thought that he would never be able to do the things that he did. Every now and then he would start to warm up to the idea of danger but then catch himself and hide once again. It took quite a while for him to see how brave he was, but he got it in the end.Sorry I dont want any adventures, thank you. (Tolkien 7) Later he fights giant spiders and out-talks Gollum. He turns out to be the bravest one on the expedition He was the most valuable person and they would not have completed their interest without him. One thing that I really didnt like was when the dragon came along. The self-colored book they talked about how the dragon would be the most difficult to handle. When they finally get to the mountain, all the dwarves can think about is the dragon. They have to hide by the secret door and be totally silent so that they dont wake it. Bilbo sneaks into the mountain to spy around.He finds the dragon and makes it so upset that it tries to destroy everything in its path. The dragon is the only thing holding them back. The thought of the battle they were going to have was exciting. They left you in the suspense of who was going to fight it and who would get hurt and still give everything. As the dragon is rampaging through Esgaroth, Bard shoots it with one arrow. The dragon falls dead. Thats it? I was definitely hoping for something more than that. I felt like they led up to it really well and then didnt even have anything happen. The way that the characters spoke really reflected who they were.Gollum, for example, called himself my precious and never spoke to anyone but himself. It was almost like his trademark. Gandalf was th e wise one. His word choice made him seem mysterious like an old wizard should be. Do you neediness me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not or that you feel good this morning or that it is a morning to be good on? (Tolkien 5) On page 41, however, I feel like he lost his cool when he yelled at Bilbo for asking an acceptable question. It seemed to make him less wise and more cranky. Bilbo of course talked of his hobbit-hole and how he wished for food and warmth.The dialogue of the character seemed as if it was their own. I think that they made Bilbo too old for the way he acts. He is always curious to know about things but so scared. He is never just there. Like a younger person, he is always alert and ready to see what is happening next. He is good at sneaking around and is very clever and active. T he book was very interesting, and I enjoyed reading it, but the speeds changed too much. You couldnt feel the suspense as much because the same thi ng happened over and over, and they didnt go on very long they would get captured and then they would escape.It was all very creative but I would have liked to be able to get into the moments more. After they get their share of money and fight the Goblins, nothing happens. That should be extremely close to the last page of the book. The story line is over, which leads to the conclusion. When Bilbo and Gandalf go back to the Hills, it is excruciatingly laid out. The next whole chapter was on their slow journey back. The overall theme was that you can think that there is nothing to you, like Bilbo thought about himself, and think that you are small, weak, and afraid, but that is all in your head.When you set your mind to it, you can get it done, no matter how big or strong you are. This is a story of how a Baggins had an adventure, and found himself doing and saying things altogether unexpected, (Tolkien 4) He suddenly felt he would go without bed and eat to be thought fierce, (Tolki en 18) All of his fear was conquered and then came the confidence. He soon realized that if anything was to be done, it would have to be done by Mr. Baggins, alone and unaided, (Tolkien 158).
