Thorin was the next in line to inherit the riches under the mountain and enlisted the help of others to take back his home. Thorin Oakenshield showed traits unfit for a hero such as not being brave, being selfish, and being unable to lead his people to success.

tell through literature. This is very true in the Hobbit written by John Ronald Reuel Tolkien, J. R. R. Tolkien. In the Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, a Hobbit, is recruited by the wizard Gandalf to go help Thorin and the dwarves return their ancestor’s treasures stolen by Smaug. Thorin, the proud, arrogant leader of the thirteen dwarves who tends to overlook the needs of the group in order to pursue his own interests, serves as a foil to Bilbo in the Hobbit because of his lack of leadership traits,…

The Tyrant I sat there against the great oak tree, that was normally the epicentre of life in our small community,staring off into the distant lands. In the distance wars were being fought. Great uproar has been wrought across all of middle earth. This uproar was the result of goblin conflicts. The goblins have never been seen as a real threat because they tend to be reserved, keeping to their mountains filled with darkness. There has always been no doubt, thought, that the goblins have impure…

(Carlos Santana, 1947). Duality exists as a major element of the human experience, which manifests from our magnificent brain’s ability to cognitively think and our even more intricately woven lives as we interact with others.

From this journey, he discovers parts of himself that had been there from birth, but were never granted the opportunity to…

Isaiah chapter 11 verse 6 says, “. . and a little child shall lead them.” (Bible Gateway, KJV Isaiah 11:6) The Hobbits are waiting for the coming of a king. The coming of the king represents our waiting for the Second coming of Christ. The king will free the people as Christ will free all of the Christians from the world. Hebrew chapter 9 verse 28 informs us that…

kid. I took quickly to books because of my love of stories starting from the fairy tales my parents read to me as a child. After reading the Narnia series, Magic Treehouse series, and other fantasy adventure series, my mom got me a recording of The Hobbit: There and Back Again. In second grade, I recall coming home after school and instead of going and playing with neighborhood kids, friends, or siblings, I would retreat to my room. The golden spring sunlight would flow through the windows and I…

In every person's life journey there will be hardships, and only if they persevere and trust in God will they succeed in life. Perseverance is something the dwarf company showed throughout The Hobbit book. Just like the Jews of the Holocaust and even dating back to the Jews in ancient Bible times, the dwarves survived a tragedy. Only through extreme perseverance did the dwarf company and Jews survive. This perseverance is what every person would need to get through life. Only in the complete…
