Despite being a hobbit‚ Frodo Baggins is a modern example of an epic hero. He embodies the values of the hobbits by living a simple life‚ yet he risks that life when he sets out on a great quest to save Middle Earth. A true hero should not be judged by his supernatural strength but by the size of their heart and willingness to give up his life to save the world. He has help on his journey from a few supernatural allies. Tolkien in no way presents Frodo as a hero with supernatural strength ready to

On this subject‚ you really have to try and veer away from the big picture and learn to just look at the small details.

In the excerpt from the Hobbit‚ the author‚ J.R.R.‚ uses descriptive language to describe the setting and mood. This quote helps us form our claim by showing mood and setting‚ “He nibbled a bit of sorrel‚ and he drank from a small mountain stream that crossed the path‚ and he ate three wild strawberries that he found on its bank‚ but it was not much good.” This supports our claim by presenting that he was stuck in the wilderness without the resources he would normally use.

In the book The Hobbit‚ Tolkien uses the golden ring as symbolism‚ revealing actions‚ and inner thinking to interpret Bilbo’s drive. Do you think this “ring” will effect Bilbo in a negative or positive way? In the beginning of the book‚ the main character Bilbo Baggins was not was not much of a hero. Bilbo’s life before the ring was very besotted. He was much like the other hobbits. Comfort seaming and content. All Bilbo wanted to do was eat‚ drink‚ and smoke in his adequate wizened whole

In the Hobbit J.R.R. Tolkien uses stereotypes as a way to portray the different races in his book. He starts the story off with the line “In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.”(page 1)‚ Hobbits are presented by Tolkien as small creatures who are similar to humans but roughly half their size of a regular human.
