Do you have what it takes to be a truly exemplary hero? If your answer is no, than you are in the same boat as our hero, Bilbo Baggins. But as the age-old adage says, “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.” In the book The Hobbit by famed British author J.R.R.

Bilbo Baggins matches the example laid down by…

could have run back home to the Shire, but instead he came back to the dwarves and fought off the orcs with them. He was risking his life so they could get back their homeland, he wanted to help because he felt sorry for them because they didn’t have a home and he was going to try and help the dwarves if he could. The last reason that Bilbo is a kind hobbit is because Bilbo saved Thorin’s life from the orcs. He could have killed himself too, but it didn’t matter to him. I would love to be Bilbo…

1. What heath care policy did you choose? Why did you choose this one? Define the policy and describe the history behind it.

The Orcs, originally commanded by the first Dark Lord of Middle-earth, Melkor, are described as “squat, broad, flat-nosed, sallow-skinned, with wide mouths and slant eyes” (Letters, p. 210); yet, after the fall of Melkor, they retreated back to their caves, for they are directionless and helpless without a leader. With the eventual rise of Sauron, Melkor’s most trusted servant, the Orcs became the main host of Sauron’s powers. The Orcs become the muscle of the battles…

In most adventure based stories you have the good guy and the bad guy, each has a spectacular story on why they are how they are, what their motives are, and what they’ve done in their life to get there. Then you have the “Evil Sidekick”, that slimy mischievous character with no back story, very few strengths, and a creepy appearance.
