This year we analyzed the definition of Monomyth and compared it to J. R. R. Tolkien’s book, The Hobbit. Monomyth is when a hero goes on an adventure, gets involved in many dangerous challenges, wins an award and comes home into a different personality. The main character, Bilbo Baggins, is a typical hobbit who enjoys a muted environment, hates traveling, and is shy.

This ring helped him rescuing friends and surviving many enemies including Smaug the Dragon in the Lonely Mountains. Smaug was hiding Thorin’s Arkenstone with piles of gold. When Baggins approaches the Lonely Mountains, that's where he nearly faces death. He had to steal the Arkenstone and battle with five enemies. One of the guys from the group, named Bard, killed Smaug. Bard uses his last iron arrow to shoot it on Smaug's weakest point. They all worked as a team to receive "the Heart of the Mountain". All in all, that's why the Innermost Cave in the Hobbit is involved with Monomyth. Bilbo Baggins was forced to go to an adventure, he defeated creatures he's never seen before, and in the end he gets rewarded. The Dwarves awarded him chests of gold, mail shirt, and he gets to keep the ring and elvish dagger. His personality becomes more courageous because of this adventure. He conffonted his greatest fesr and battled many challenges. Although, when he arrived
