These movie starts by describing the setting where the hobbits lived and spend their lives in holes. Communication started by Bilbo saying “Good morning” to the grey wizard; although the wizard asked him if he wishes a good morning or that good things will happen in that morning and so on. The great wizard named Gandalf offered an adventure to Bilbo, therefore he thought about the offer and denied by saying good morning again and entering the hole where he lived. As the same day went on Gandalf left a mark on Bilbo’s door for the dwarves to come for a little discussion.

In the novel the Hobbit, Bilbo and the dwarfs are travelling in the mountains in the rainy days of summer, where they are on a quest to find Smaug’s treasure. While the smell of wet earth filled their noses, kili and fili (2 of the dwarfs) saw a cave where the they could rest. As they entered, they could taste fear, and had a feeling about something nearby. They slept, and they woke up to find their pony's tail sliding into a crack. It was morning at the time, and gobling ran out of the crack, as it got bigger. The only thing bilbo could hear was the goblins screaming “kill them!’’ ‘’Kill them. out came the goblin king (he was like a lion!). In no time , Gandalf the wizard, had a sword through him. They heard a voice out of the crack ‘’follow…
Engrossed by the screen, the flashing lights, the angles, the sounds, or on the couch, nodding off. The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien in 1997, was written for preteen and the teen audience about the adventures, challenges and parts of Bilbo journey and life. However the movie The Hobbit “An Unexpected Journey” directed by Peter Jackson in 2012, included advanced computer graphics, attracting the teens of this time period. This book consists of adventures, challenges and parts of Bilbo journey and life. It all starts off when Bilbo says yes to go on the adventures with the thirteen dwarves and Gandalf. Soon Bilbo runs into the trolls and demonstrates his perseverance and quick thinking. There…

The Hobbit, by J.R.R Tolkien is a fantasy book set in the medieval ages. Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit, embarks on an epic journey with Gandalf and his “party” to recover lost treasure in the lonely mountain guarded by a dragon named Smaug. After making their way past trolls, spiders and Gollum, they finally get to Smaug, then manage to steal the treasure (with they divide up). The two main ideas I found in this book were Bilbo’s heroism and the storyteller (narrator).I think that this book explores and shows the theme good vs evil.…

Everyone has a chapter in their life they don't read aloud, maybe it's just dark and too deep to get into. We all have a dark side, even the heros and the good guys. In fact there's this hero, Bilbo, who has a dark side of his own. There are many protagonists and antagonists in The Hobbit, but let's face it, the only real problem and solution is the main character, Bilbo himself. Bilbo is not only the main character in The Hobbit, but also is his own protagonist and antagonist. Throughout the book, there are multiple ways all these sides of Bilbo are shown; the attack from the spiders, escaping the goblins, and helping the dwarves. All of these examples, include one important item, the magical ring.…
The intriguing author, Karen White, once said, “Sometimes hope is all we have, and to lose that is to lose all.” Hope is vital for humans to progress. Without hope, generations of past legends wouldn’t exist. We would be living in a world where everyone is bitter and full of anger. People in society wouldn’t want to do anything new because they would be afraid to fail. For example, in the novel “The Hobbit” by J.R.R. Tolkien, the protagonist, a species called a Hobbit, and thirteen dwarves get tired of walking on the designated path in the Mirkwood forest and begin to lose hope. This causes them to have heated and constant arguing and their anger to grow towards each other. This is a prime example of what the world would be…
“With a Shriek that deafened men, felled trees and split stone, Smaug shot spouting into the air, turned and crashed down on high ruin”(Tolkien 224).This is the last we hear of Smaug, before his death in The Hobbit. Smaug is the last major problem between the company and the treasure, and needs to be stopped in order for the treasure to go back to Thorin’s family. Bard a member of Laketown, takes the challenge trying to protect his town, and not caring or knowing what this could do for someone else, for example the dwarves. This would eventually lead to war over greed for the gold by Thorin. Something common in today's society is greed, greed for money, materialistic things, and other things. It’s become common, and is heard on the news often of people that could not keep it from happening, it leads to fights and other things, but the unlikely does happen sometimes and a accomplishment could come out of it. In the Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, Great accomplishments are shown by Bilbo, but not without the help of others. \…

Eventually, Bard found Smaug’s week spot and killed him. Smaug’s defeat resulted with the destruction of Lake-town. Bard managed to get the people to calm down, got some shelters built, and sent word for help to the elves.

The Battle of Verdun was one of the bloodiest battles in World War I. What sets it apart from other battles is the brutal tactics that were used by the German army against the French. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers fought through hazardous conditions with artillery raining down on them constantly. This type of warfare is unmatched by the battles and wars that are fought today. This is mostly due to the vast differences in technology and weaponry. The fighting armies back then didn’t have the ability for fast communications and effective reconnaissance to assist their ground troops in coordinating effective attacks and counter-offensives.…
Tolkien is wrong because if you remember in the beginning of the book it says that they saw the elves after the dragon came and destroyed and burned the whole town.In the movie it shows that after the dragon destroyed and burned the whole town they saw the elf king just standing there on the top of the hill with his elf army after the town was destroyed. Tolkien is also right because when the dwarves were being attacked by the orcs.Then that guy was distracting the orcs animals with his rabbits.Then when everything went wrong, he orcs found out that it was just a distraction, but then the elf King and his army saved the dwarves lives. At the end, I would think that the elf King is bad because the rods have the best army and weapons and if…
The start of the longest single battle in World War I began on February 21, 1916 and didn’t end until December 18, 1916. One of the main reasons the British began the battle of Somme was because of the casualties from Verdun and the impact of the war on the French Army (Trueman, Chris). The root of this battle is held in a letter that was written by Erich von Falkenhayn to Wilhelm II. Von Falkenhayn wanted to explain that their key to the war would be starting on the western front rather than the east because of Russia. The happenings of this battle and everything about it have been questioned by people since it happened and figuring out the whole battle is a major part of our history.…
