    The worst part of being lied to is knowing you weren't worth the truth. In the book The Hobbit, Bilbo has a ring and he doesn’t tell the dwarves about it. I don’t consider it lying at all. On the first hand, he didn’t say anything, and on the second hand, he wasn’t telling any truth or lie. If I was in a situation like this, I would have just kept my mouth shut. I wouldn’t have to say anything. If Bilbo would have told the dwarves about the ring, The dwarves would probably have been very mad. If you’re ever in a situation like this, just keep your mouth…

    In the book The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, the Goblins are horrible creatures whose personality shows mostly through their songs, and that they are ugly, nasty, and heartless to other creatures. Bilbo and the dwarves are forced to run through the Goblins’ passageways in Chapter 4 titled “Over Hill and Under Hill”, while the Goblins sing a terrifying song and whip the dwarves. The song has several onomatopoeia that represent the sound of beating the travelers. The goblins are even saying that they are laughing and quaffing about the dwarves. Gandalf, Bilbo, and the dwarves barely escape the goblins, but the travelers encounter them again in Chapter 6 titled “Out of the Frying-Pan into the Fire”. This time, the goblins want revenge. For example, when they sing their song, they say “So dwarves shall die, and light the night for our delight, Ya hey!” (Tolkien 45),…

    Throughout The Hobbit, the dwarves and Gandalf reference to Bilbo as the “burglar” of the group. Although Gandalf recruited Bilbo to join the travelers, the dwarves skepticize the hobbit’s ability by his appearance and demeanor. However, Gandalf tells the doubting dwarves, “If I say he is a Burglar, a Burglar he is, or will be when the time comes. There is a lot more in him than you guess, and a deal more than he has any idea of himself. ” As this text excerpt shows, Gandalf specifically chose Bilbo for the burglar role because he knew that Bilbo retained the strength inside of him to become a leader. Early in the journey, Gandalf disappeared, leaving the dwarves and Bilbo with no clue as to where the wizard dissipated. After the dwarves and…

    How a society describes its heroes says a lot about its values. In Anglo-Saxon times, men aspired to be like Beowulf. Beowulf is described as “the strongest of the Geats—greater and stronger than anyone anywhere in the world” (Raffel, 2007, p. 26). Anglo-Saxons admired a daring and powerful leader. Beowulf was these things; for example, he killed Grendel with his bare hands and fearlessly led the charge against Grendel's mother. Beowulf is the praised and long-sought after Anglo-Saxon. In contrast, little Bilbo Baggins doesn’t conjure similar images. Bilbo is introduced as the least-likely hero of this story; Tolkein says “they [the Baggins] never had any adventures or did anything unexpected: you could tell what a Baggins would say…
