The three types of beast in The Hobbit are the dwarves the elves and the goblins they all like music but their styles of music and what they think of music is what sets the three apart. The dwarves the elves and the goblins. Dwarves can be sad creatures, the elves can be happy creatures and the goblins can be mean and scary creatures and it is all expressed in the songs they sing.

    Music can give you a new view on something like how beautiful creatures can relate to the feelings of others and how they feel about stuff like racing or differences of others. The author of “Raymond's Run”, is Tiny Cade Bambara. The main characters are Squeaky, Raymond, and Gretchen. During the story, Squeaky has to defend her brother who can't take care of himself and is stereotyped by everyone. No, I think that there are too many striations on people and that it does not matter who you are, you can have fun like in beautiful creatures. I believe that Music can influence the way you act to others and the way you think about them. The quote talks about race is no way to judge people. “we are so different yet the same.” this quote from beautiful…

    The Hobbit shows both positive and negative character traits. Some of the positive traits were shown by what the dwarves did. They were peaceful and honest . The trolls were seen in a negative light because they tried to kill the dwarves. At this point in the story intelligence would be more important than physical strength because when the trolls made an appearance in the book, they weren't defeated with brute strength.…

    Between the years of 1600-1754, three distinct regions were formed in the new world. The three main English settlement areas were categorized into the New England, Middle, and Southern group of colonies and all had major differences and events that led to their own identity. Many people moved to these new colonies to start a new life, try to make a large profit, or even to escape religious restrictions. These three areas provided a new place for people or families to start over and control their own futures, and this played a major role in history.…

    In this assignment, we had to read “The Hobbit” by J.R.R. Tolkien and “How to Read Literature like a Professor” by Thomas C. Foster.

He is convinced to go on an adventure with the wizard Gandalf and the thirteen dwarves to steal back the dwarves’ treasure from Smaug the dragon.

    “Soon the goblins had a ring of smoke and flame all round the dwarves, a ring which they kept from spreading outwards; but it closed slowly until the running fire was licking the fuel piled under the trees. Smoke was in Bilbo’s eyes, he could feel the heat of the flames( even though he was so high up in the trees); and through the reek he could see the goblins dancing round and round in a circle like people round a midsummer bonfire. Outside the ring of dancing warriors stood the wolves at a respectful distance watching and waiting to devour the first person that dropped dead out of the treetops. Bilbo could hear the goblins beginning a horrible song, and with that the flames were under Gandalf the wizards tree. In a moment it caught the others and went up like a rocket, when it was just beneath Bilbo’s, he closed his eyes, ready to die when...” As it can be seen Biblo and company were in many tight spots throughout this adventure, and he could not have done it all on his own. That is where Bilbo had to use the three themes of luck, courage and good sense to overcome evil and stay alive.…

    1. Thesis Statement: Within the pages of The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien there is courage, adventure, and a great change of character in Mr. Bilbo Baggins. The Hobbit starts off with the description of what sort of creatures’ hobbits are and the introduction of Bilbo Baggins. Bilbo is just like any other regular hobbit; he enjoys food, doesn’t like adventure, and right at the beginning says, “We are plain quiet folk and have no use for adventures. Nasty disturbing uncomfortable things! Make you late for dinner. I don’t see what anyone sees in them (page 6).” This he says to Gandalf the Grey who’s a wizard and returns to Hobbiton after many years on a search for someone who is willing to go on an adventure. Right off the bat Bilbo tells Gandalf absolutely not, he is not looking for an adventure, but Gandalf must of mistook his answer for consent to going on an adventure because before Bilbo knows it he’s off with a group of 13 dwarves on a quest to regain the dwarf Thorin’s homeland from the evil dragon Smaug. I think the moment when Bilbo really begins his change of character is when they were all meeting before they went off on their quest and the dwarves thought he couldn’t hear them, and they started talking about how Bilbo seemed much to small, timid, and weak to be any good at burglaring. When they said those things Bilbo’s Took side of the family won out and he began to find himself thinking, “…He would go without bed and breakfast to be thought fierce. As for little fellow bobbing on the mat it also made him really fierce (page 18)…” This part in the story is when I believe Bilbo began to have sparks of thoughts that maybe he really did want to go on an adventure.…

    In the 1800s, slavery was a very important talked about subject matter in politics, economics, and culture. It was such an important aspect of the time period that it was on everyone’s mind, and everyone had an opinion on it. This tore the country in half, and forced the South into secession.
