Frodo Baggins

Confidence in the Quest Bilbo Baggins from The Hobbit and Sierra from Shadowshaper both start out as characters who do not know much about the fantastic that is in their lives. Bilbo knows a miniscule part of what lies beyond his hole in the ground, but never imagined being a part of any adventure because as a hobbit they stay with comfort. Sierra on the other hand is an artist that knows nothing of what was to come in her future. At the beginning of the book it shows that after leaving the…

configuration. The Baggins, lived in a area which was a place for them to get a time out of mind. The neighbors, thought of the Baggins to be very respectful, it didn't have to do with them being rich, but they were never adventurous or did anything out of hand. A hobbit is rare to find and they are very shy of big eye people. In addition, they were little people, most likely half of our height, but way shorter than the bearded dwarves. Gandalf told Bilbo to find him…

The reader of Raymond Edwards’ 2014 biography of J. R. R. Tolkien will indeed find an extensive examination of the author’s ‘academic interests,’ for the strength of this work is in its author’s sympathy with two of the major influences in Tolkien’s life: philology and Catholicism. The dust jacket says that Edwards “followed the Oxford undergraduate course originally devised by Tolkien,” which would have required mastery of Old English and Middle English philology as well as Anglo-Saxon and…

Now having read the book I do not believe that it should have been placed on that kind of title. It is a wonderful book, with many exciting moments and suspense at its finest. However, there are some instances that I can see why it is banned. After doing some research, I came to a conclusion that it is banned for its religious purposes, smoking, and use of older languages.…

“to share in an adventure” with the dwarves. Bilbo faints from terror when they tell him about the dangers of the dragon. When the dwarves are not sure about bringing him along, Gandalf tells them, “Let’s have no more argument. I have chosen Mr. Baggins and that ought to be enough for all of you. If I say he is a Burglar, a Burglar he is, or will be when the time comes. There is a lot more in him than you guess, and a deal more than he has any idea of himself. You may (possibly) all live to…
