Bilbo was left alone to save the dwarves. He made a plan to get the spiders away from the nests and quickly went back to rescue the dwarves. The dwarves exclaim to Bilbo that because of his actions they stayed alive. Tolkien illustrates this when he states: “They knew only too well that they would soon all have been dead, if it had not been for the hobbit; and they thanked him many times”(166). Tolkien also shows heroism through external conflict when trolls capture the dwarves and Bilbo.
Peace through Understanding Peace can be achieved through the power of love not through the love of power.. This is what the fantasy novel, The Hobbit, which is written by J.R.R. Tolkien is about. Bilbo, the main character of the story, portrays an ordinary hobbit who eventually becomes the hero loved by everybody. Throughout the story, he undergoes challenges and develops his character.
Chapter 10 Comprehension Questions 1) The dwarves’ imprisonment turns out to be a lucky accident because they ended up finding Laketown with their ingenious escape route. The residents of Laketown practically worship Thorin’s ancestors, Thror and Thrain, the dwarf kings of the mountains. Due to this, the men there completely pampered the dwarves and hobbit, making sure they were well fed and cared for. The men even went to the point where they constantly sang for their heroes, something that would most certainly not happen if the dwarves were never imprisoned and never came along the river. In addition to this, it turns out that if they took the route that Beorn instructed them to, they’d eventually wind up at the edge of the forest with nowhere else together.
The Hobbit: Moral Valence Throughout J.R.R Tolkien’s, The Hobbit, when Bilbo Baggins uses the ring of power, he becomes invisible to all those around him. Shortly after discovering the mystery behind his newly acquired ring, Bilbo uses it in all situations where simply charging in head first isn’t an option. Much to his own surprise, on numerous occasions, Bilbo escapes with his life and limbs intact. Not only does Bilbo use this power for himself, but so does he use it to aid his friends, rescuing them many times. However, there is much more to this ring then the reader is initially aware of, it is in essence evil incarnate, it exist solely to destroy.
blending in with the Na’vi and defeating the humans. Before the humans start to tear up the land precious to the Na’vi, Jake realises that deep down he loves the Na’vi culture and even one of their females and cannot forgive himself if all the Na’vi are wiped out by the humans.

The Hobbit Bilbo Baggins was born on September 22nd 2890 in the Third age to Bungo Baggins and Belladonna Took. The Baggins line bore a strong reputation of being predictable and respectable, whereas the Took name was blemished, in a hobbits view, with occasional adventures and surprises. This paper will address how Bilbo Baggins, though starting off very Baggins, came to unlock his heritage. He fulfills the lifestyle and reputation of a Took by exhibiting inner strength and heroism through his many adventures with the dwarves. It seems that Bilbo makes these changes in his life, not to intentionally satisfy his heritage, but because of it.
Anyone who had something of great value stolen from him would try to get it back. Even if that person had to go to high risks to reclaim what was theirs. In the book The Hobbit, a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins, a wizard named Gandalf, and thirteen dwarves have to get back their lost treasure that a character named Smaug stole. To reclaim their treasure they have to travel a long distance to the Lonely Mountain where Smaug is hiding. Throughout their journey they encounter many life-hindering experiences.
Another trait of Gandalf is how trusting he is towards Bilbo. Although almost all the dwarves don’t believe in his abilities in the beginning of the story Gandalf does. He states many times that since he himself chose Bilbo, he most certainly is the one for the job even though he didn’t really look like it at first. I think that had a big effect on the story’s outcome because of how Bilbo thought of himself. He knew that Gandalf had faith in him and his abilities and I think thats what played a large part in him having faith in his own abilities so he was able to carry out all the noble actions that he
He knew that he may have died, but he lead his men into battle anyway. He also showed bravery when he crossed through the strait because he knew he was risking being killed by Scylla and Charybis. "‘Friends, have we never been in ... danger before this? More fearsome, is it now, than when the Cyclops penned us in his cave? What power he had!
The characters' ability to overcome their fear is a crucial element in J.R.R Tolkien’s The Hobbit. If the characters couldn’t overcome their fears, then Bilbo wouldn't have come on the adventure in the first place. One example of this is when the party is traveling through Mirkwood, they encounter a large spider web. The dwarves all get caught in it, and fortunately, Bilbo was there to save the day. He uses the sword that he had taken from the elves and kills the spiders, despite his fear of being eaten by them.
