What Is Bilbo's Transformation In The Hobbit
(3536)
The Hobbit 2 The smart, inspirational Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop and look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you can not do.” In “The Hobbit,” by J.R.R Tolkien, the protagonist is a mythical creature called a hobbit. His name is Bilbo Baggins. Bilbo goes on an adventure with a wizard named Gandalf and thirteen dwarves. On their expedition, the group discovers many new and exciting places, however, they also encounter numerous challenges that veer the heroes off their course. Up to this point, Bilbo and the party of dwarves have met trolls and goblins (both in which, wanted to devour them.) Bilbo was terrified and out of his
comfort zone, but instead of doubting himself and his ability, he rose to the challenge and overcame his fears. I can relate to this, because I used to have a pathological fear of public speaking. Although my fear seems foolish compared to Bilbo’s, I was anxious and thought I would never conquer it. However, I was given an opportunity to give a talk. I was terrified and my stomach was in knots. My throat was tight and dry as desert sand, but I persevered and by the conclusion of my speech, I had forgotten why I was feeling so apprehensive in the first place. I was calm. I defeated the obstacle in my path just like Bilbo did with his trials.
