The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey by Peter Jackson. Since I just barely watched the movie, this movie is about where Bilbo Baggins is just living a normal Hobbit life, but then was convinced by Gandalf to join a group of dwarves, which they fight to claim their home and kingdom back. When the dwarves storm into Bilbo’s house they seem a little bit careless and just kind acting like that his house was their house. There were thirteen dwarves and Gandalf which is a wizard. I thought it was pretty weird because at first I didn’t really know what the movie was going into, like the story to me was kind of clueless right now. And then they start eating and singing and doing all this random stuff which surprisingly they didn’t even break anything. Then Gandalf was trying to convince Bilbo to join their group and Bilbo didn’t want to because he likes his home, then he went with them. So as you can clearly tell the main characters are gonna be Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf, and thirteen dwarves. But which one of those dwarves is the most important.

Then he leads the enemy off because he was being chased and it was really funny, and they didn’t catch them because he was too fast. Also the person who was acting Radagast was Sylvester McCoy, I say he did an awesome
Every story has characters with different roles, and each of them are important to make the story complete. Three characters, Bilbo, Gandalf, and Smaug represent three archetypal roles in this story. Their guide Gandalf, represents the mentor, Bilbo represents the hero, and Smaug represents the shadow. Smaug symbolizes fear to the characters, and the dragon represents one of the characters that are most often causing the most terror and trouble to the other characters in the story. The hobbit symbolizes the hero of the story, because he sacrifices himself throughout the book. Mr. Bilbo Baggins learns more and more each day, and he tries to always do the right thing. Gandalf symbolizes the guidance and help as a mentor, and he provides training and motivation to the characters. These three important characters greatly explain the

...or Bilbo, Gandalf is his lifeline, as Bilbo always get into some trouble thanks to Gandalf however always seem to survive. The people that Bilbo travels along with are dwarves.

Babbitt vs. The Hobbit Sinclair Lewis’ character of George Babbitt is similar to J.R.R Tolkien’s character of Bilbo Baggins, but they are also very different. These two characters are alike in two different ways: in personality and the heroic journey. However, on every other subject these two characters are extraordinarily different. The most basic of these differences being that George Babbitt is an anti-hero and Bilbo Baggins is a hero. In the beginning both characters seem very much alike in the way that they are portrayed.

Over the course of the story, J.R.R. Tolkien develops Bilbo into a brave character who had proved himself through his many acts of bravery. In conclusion, the author did an excellent job developing Bilbo as a
The Hobbit (1937) by J.R.R. Tolkien is an exciting novel, an adventure that takes on a whole new meaning.

Hobbits are very comfortable with life and look for no excitement or change whatsoever. When Gandalf shows up on the doorstep of Bilbo Baggins' cave (home), it was a major shock to him. Slowly dwarves show up at his doorstep, after Gandalf leaves, they slowly appear groups at a time. After thirteen dwarves show up on Bilbo's doorstep and make themselves at home, Bilbo starts to freak out and wonders why this is happening to him on a beautiful, and what he thought to be, a normal day. The reason for the dwarves being at his house is the fact that they want Bilbo's help with a plan; to go to Lonely Mountain to retain a treasure that Smaug, the dragon, had stolen long ago from their ancestors.
Then one day a wizard by the name of Gandalf comes and gives Bilbo the opportunity to go on an adventure. Bilbo turns his offer down, but the next day thirteen dwarves come to his house. They have meals together and they sleep at Bilbo’s house. Gandalf then convinces him to go on an adventure with them. Bilbo is many things, in the beginning he is flat, static, main, and he is the protagonist.
