Why growth and strength is important
Bilbo was forced to go on an unfamiliar adventure, he had no idea what he was getting himself into. He went through everything a creative mind could imagine, from floating in wine barrels to being grabbed out of the sky by eagles. Bilbo, at first was a frightened, scared little hobbit but as the adventure drew on he gained much strength. He learned how to be loyal to what he thought was a good leader. He gained so much respect that many of the hobbits now saw him as a leader himself.

Bilbo went through as many trials as all of the other hobbits but it was the way he took it.
In the beginning of the story he went through the worst of weather. Bilbo heartily misses home, he explained this adventure business is cold, wet, and uncomfortable! Next they come across three trolls named Bert, Tom, and William, and of course they sent bilbo to investigate. Bilbo was captured and almost cooked, he did not get off to a good start. …show more content…

Is Bilbo A Hero

...soldier. In The Hobbit, Bilbo, a hobbit from the Shire, is recruited as a burglar to go on an adventure to help reclaim the land of the dwarves. Bilbo and the thirteen dwarves encounter many different creatures along the way, some who want to help them and other who want to kill them.

Lord of the Rings and Sociology

...Rings: From A Sociological Perspective The Lord of the Rings, is a fantasy style movie filmed from 2001 to 2004. It is set in the setting of Middle Earth where Sauron forges a great ring from the fire of Mordor to provoke havoc upon the lands. Frodo, a hobbit from the Shire, is "gifted" the ring of power from his uncle Bilbo, when he stumbled upon the ring from his adventures in his past time. Gandalf the Grey, an old friend of Bilbo, figures out this ring Frodo beholds is the one ring of power and decides the only option is to destroy the ring from where it came from, Mordor. Frodo stumbles upon people who accompany him on the way to Mordor, when they all decide to form a "fellowship" with all the same mission to help Frodo the destroy the ring. This fellowship starts off as a group of mostly strangers to each other in the beginning, but across the three movies they all become a family. (IMDB) They all split up in different ways at the end of the first movie, but each group becomes a family within a family throughout the movie. Enemies become friends, friends make sacrifices for each other, and each "family" serves a purpose for the quest of destroying the ring. I'll explain more in the paper about each "family" and why I'm writing this paper on this movie. While re-watching this whole series from a sociological standpoint, it opened my eyes in a different way. I wasn't just astounded by the acting or directing, but by the whole plot and how it indirectly points out conflicts...
