The Hobbit Chapters 9-10
Is there a difference between a thief and a burglar? Many people assume that they are the same thing, however, they are two different things. A thief is someone who takes someone else’s property, without the owner’s consent, and will take whatever they want, whenever they want, whereas a burglar is someone who breaks into a private property to take something. In the novel “The Hobbit” by J.R.R. Tolkien, the protagonist, a fabled species called a Hobbit, named Bilbo Baggins is appointed with the title, “Burglar”. He received this name by the wizard, Gandalf, and 13 other dwarves. Although he has been called this name profusely, he still has some mental conflict between what he knows is honest and what is sinful. Even

    Even though Bilbo is an adult when the The Hobbit begins, him stepping out of his comfort zone and choosing to go on the adventure also leads him to embark on another, his coming-of-age and physiological journey. Bilbo’s quest was an essential aspect for him to find success within himself and him coming-of-age. Three main reasons why Bilbo matures throughout the novel is Biblo stepping out of his comfort zone and taking risks, Bilbo being more confident and learning he is good under pressure and lastly Bilbo being more courageous and taking on more leadership roles. Firstly, Bilbo stepping out of his comfort zone and taking risks is the beginning to an even greater journey than he anticipated.…

    J.R.R tolkien wrote a prodigious novel called “the hobbit” In chapter one J.R.R illustrates a that Bilbo's parents families contrast, the Baggins family who was seen as well to do and respectable, and those with Tookish blood were more adventurous. Humans also have a similar scenario, but amidst with their personalities. I believe that this is because people care too much what others think of them. People are often trapped in dogma and only want to become who others desire you to become…

    Evolutionary scientists are confused at the discovery made in 2003, about the Homo floresiensis, aka the hobbit. In 2003, scientist found the remains of an 18,000 year old fossil in Flores, Indonesia. It got its nickname “hobbit”, because the skeleton of the body was only 3 feet tall.

    Ekaku Hakuin teaches that learning through Kōans (a paradoxical anecdote or riddle) and doubting can lead to enlightenment. That it is only by using Kōans and doubting things that we look at objectively, can we find what we are truly looking for. I relate this to everyday life. It is easy to get swept up in the flow of everyday life, taking things as they are, as face value, and not questioning things when they need to be questioned. For example, throughout most of primary and secondary school, we are taught that everything has an answer.…

    For the book that I liked, I picked Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and I believe that the author, JK Rowling has made an excellent use of language in this very famous novel of hers. Different characters' speech patterns reveal their levels of education. Wizards speak in proper English, and Hagrid, who is half-giant and not fully educated, drops his H's and slurs his words together a bit sloppily. House-elves have no sophisticated mastery of language. They use terrible grammar, referring to themselves in third person and using almost exclusively short, exclamatory sentences.…

    I feel the plot of the Hobbit is man versus self. Throughout the book the Baggins side and Took side make Bilbo torn on whether to stay back and be cautious or be the hero (Tolkien 174). First of all, the Took side and the Baggins side, in a way, fought a war over Bilbo. One, when the Took side won, decided if he would go on the adventure or not (Tolkien 18). Bilbo was not a particularly brave hobbit, but he had to use his wits and his bravery on more than one occasion.…

    At the University of Oxford, Tolkien served as a professor of Anglo-Saxon and English Language and Literature. Tolkien’s keen interest and emphasis for Anglo-Saxon literature and philology is evident in his trilogy, The Lord of the Rings as well as The Hobbit. Tolkien had a deep understanding of multiple Indo-European languages such as Old English, Old Norse, Finnish, Old High Herman, and several others, demonstrating a vast philological foundation to work from when it came to creating his own languages and history however he noted that language should not be derived purely for communicative factors, but the aesthetics of language should also be contemplated such as the pleasure of sound. This would suggest that he considered these factors…

    Ever heard of the Lord of the Rings? If the answer is yes, amazing; if the answer is “no”, well, the answer is hopefully not “no.” Although it is merely a work of fiction, the Lord of the Rings has characters that possess honorable traits. If I could nominate anyone--real or made-up--to be my role model, I would choose Frodo Baggins. Frodo is the main character in Lord of the Rings; he’s a creature that is similar to a human: a hobbit (a short humanlike creature with extremely large and hairy feet.)…

    Inside the house, Lois tells Stewie ‘Why don’t you go play in the other room?’, to which he replies ‘Why don’t you go burn in hell?’. The similar construction of the sentences is part of the humor of the scene. Nevertheless, it was regretfully removed in the adapting process: when Lois says ‘Je préférerais que tu ailles jouer dans ta chambre’, Stewie answers ‘Un jour tu paieras cette cruauté’. The translators could have seriously kept the effect by having Stewie say something along the lines of ‘Je préférerais que tu brûles en enfer’ or even ‘Je préférerais que tu paies ta cruauté’. In the following cutaway, Bill Clinton answers a journalist’s question saying ‘because you’re so fat’, a senseless immature response.…
