“Luck” in the hobbit Luck plays a huge role in this novel because without luck Bilbo wouldn’t have survived many of the situations he got into. In my opinion‚ I think that Bilbo’s greatest weapon is luck and it proves very useful throughout his journey but it was not always good luck.

We also just finished the movie today with Carrie Fisher which was weird not seeing her shooting a blaster at storm troopers‚ but that is beside the point. It did not follow the book that we read
