The Hobbit Movie Vs Book Analysis

727 Words3 Pages

Beorn evilness and kindness The novel that we read was The Hobbit and it was about a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins who goes on a journey with a wizard named gandalf and thirteen dwarves. The leader of the dwarves is Thorin who 's main goal is to defeat Smaug the dragon and take back their gold and the arkenstone. The author of this novel was J. R. R. Tolkien and the title of the chapter was “Queer Lodgings” also the movie director was Peter Jackson who made many differences in the movie than the book. Peter Jackson had many changes in the movie but two of the differences in the scene with Beorn is that Bilbo and the dwarves introduce themselves differently to Beorn and also that Beorn acts differently in the book than the movie. Without a doubt …show more content…

In the book Beorn is jolly, happy, and mad and some evidence to support that claim is “ Beorn was most jolly for a change; indeed he seemed to be splendidly good humor and set them all laughing with his funny stories” (Tolkien 131) Tolkien 's intent was to show that Beorn has a jolly side of him once you get know know him but that he can be really mean if you don 't know him. The lesson of this is for us to know that we should get to know people before accusing them of being a certain way. In the movie Beorn doesn’t have a jolly side he only shows a mean side since his voice is so serious and he never shows a single laugh in the film, but in the book he jokes around when talking about when he pinned a warg skin to his fence. We can 't argue that in the movie it is more effective at portraying Beorn 's character since he 's more of a mean character of his looks.
The movie is better than the book because you can actually see what 's going on in the scenes unlike in the book you have to imagine what 's going on in the book while your reading and some of the information in the book may be confusing to you and you don 't understand it. Also in the movie there are other characters that were never in the book that you can meet. So that 's why the movie to me is better than the

If they were to be rated on a scale of 1-10, the book would be about a 7.5 and the movie maybe a 5.5. The movie was not as intriguing as the book. The book catches ones attention by specifying what goes on very clearly and getting straight to the point, not providing any unnecessary information. Let´s just make this short, simple, and to the point, if you watched the movie you would probably not want to read the book since it did not catch enough of ones attention to be interested. On the other hand, if you read the book first and afterwards watch the movie you probably will not appreciate the movie as much as you did the

The movie is both funny and action packed but the book is more detailed. So I enjoyed the book more. The film forgot a lot of characters and changed many scenes and it really frustrated me. Also in the book you can see more character development. Even though the film was not exactly like the book the director did a great job, and this still is one of my favorite movies.

Bilbo Baggins the Burglar Thesis: In the book The Hobbit, the character Bilbo Baggins is a middle class hobbit who must challenged his introverted nature to help the dwarves reclaim their land. Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit, who lives in his hobbit hole. Hobbits are generally short and fat introverted people who don’t leave their house much. Bilbo Baggins was living like that, until one day, thirteen dwarves and his old wizard friend(Gandalf) enter his house and start eating and talking like it was their house.

In the book he attacked while everyone was drunk and passed out sleep. When Grendel attacked Beowulf was laying on the table naked.

The tale of Bilbo Baggins is one that has been around since 1937. When a book has been around for a time like that, there is bound to be a controversy pertaining to it. The problem the book has is whether or not it should be banned in high schools. I believe that J.R.R. Tolkien’s novel, The Hobbit, should not be banned in high schools because it displays the creativity that an author should be allowed to have when writing fictional works. On the contrary, there is a belief that Tolkien’s novel should be banned from high schools because of the books usage of witchcraft, magical creatures, and pipe smoking.

The major flaw Beowulf showed in the movie was that he slept with Grendel’s mother. I think that because Beowulf slept with someone it lessened his standing as a hero, in my mind. Another flaw that Beowulf showed was that he was arrogant in the movie. I can overlook the fact that a hero is not perfectly sculpted or good looking. I think to be a hero you cannot have personality flaws like being self-centered or conceited.

In the movie and epic poem Beowulf there were many similarities and difference that was noticed. Beowulf was not a true as he was in the movie. However in the epic poem he was more honest and he kept his word. For example, when Beowulf doesn’t tell the truth about defeating Grendel’s mother, but in the poem he actually defeated her. On the other hand it was interesting to see the poem come to life and it made it easier to understand the concept of the story.
