”(304) Bilbo expresses that he was not concerned about what the other hobbits thought of him. He was quite content with the life he had lived. The adventure Bilbo had been a part of opened his eyes and showed him that there is more to life than just tea and biscuits.
Bilbo returns home with the portion that was bestowed on him from the dwarves but only a small amount because he does not know any use for these riches. “In the end he would only take two small chests, one filled with silver, and the other with gold, such as one strong pony could carry.” (337) When Bilbo finally reaches his home back in Bag End, he witnesses other hobbits auctioning off his possessions as he is presumed dead. (347) Bilbo’s family, the Bagginses, were a respectable family because the never left for an adventure. (4) Bilbo loses his respectable reputation as a Bagginses as he is labelled ‘queer’ among the other hobbits in the area for making the choice to leave his hobbithole for something unexpected.

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.
Many times, Bilbo was caught missing from his home. He was missing his daily routine and his leisure time. He missed how much food he was able to eat and all of the sleep he was not getting. After Bilbo had gone on his adventure, he was a changed hobbit. At the beginning of the book, he is just a spoiled hobbit.
Sometimes, heroes are recognized through their actions displayed in pressing conditions. Even if a hero does not have a needed skill in the current situation, he can assess it and be able to demonstrate courage, meaning that besides being body-strong, a hero must be mind-strong. In the story The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien, Bilbo Baggins is the perfect example of a hero. He helps the band of dwarves trick the nefarious spiders, escape from the magical elves, and finally assign himself the responsibility to talk face-to-face with the dragon Smaug. Although Bilbo had never been on adventure or fought monsters, faced his dilemmas with sensible activity.
J.R.R Tolkien uses author's craft moves such as having characters represent a bigger idea, in the Hobbit. One major topic in this fictional epic is greed. Tolkien shows the topic of greed mainly through the viscous dragon Smaug. Smaug's life only consists of hoarding his treasure, and making sure that nobody else can steal it back. Unfortunately for Smaug, that was the entire purpose of the quest that a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins was recruited to be on, and potentially lead.
At the beginning of the story, Bilbo seems very cowardly, but soon proves that he is indeed brave. Bilbo is very tied up in his very boring, monotonous life and he really does not want to go on the adventure that he is

Bilbo Baggins is the protagonist of the children's fantasy novel and New York Herald Tribune for best juvenile fiction award The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien. Bilbo Baggins is a hobbit small height, hairy feet but none on his face. He likes the confront of his well-kept clean hobbit hole so imagine the surprise of having not one not two but thirteen dwarves rampage through his house ravaging and gurgling down all his food like a garbage disposal. The sight of his house resembling a boar pit that the dwarves created was certainly unorthodox to him because he didn't understand the dwarves' ways of living. Although Gandalf the person who set in motion the whole adventure of the whole lets go kill a dragon that's guarding treasure beyond imagination having thirteen dwarves and one
A quiet cozy house, a warm cup of tea, and a filled pipe. These are all the things that Bilbo Baggins wishes for in his life. Subconsciously, however, he decided that he wanted an adventure. Throughout the story, Bilbo undergoes a significant change in his character, and there is one person very important to this change. At first glance, you would assume that this person would be Gandalf.

After Bilbo returned home, his companions felt respect for him, but the other Hobbits were a little leery to him, considered him as "crazy". Maybe it's because Bilbo saw the characters, events, about which they could not have a clue. Fortunately, the Hobbit did not mind about it. He remained cheerful, and become carefree once again. He decided to hide his sword and then to write down the adventures in a journal titled “There and Back, a hobbit holiday”.
Hobbits are known to be unassuming folk “who disappear quietly and quickly” (3). The story begins with a picture of the humdrum life of the hobbits peppered with descriptions of the mundane, from Bilbo’s house to his “enormous long wooden pipe that reached nearly down to his woolly toes (neatly brushed)” (3); Tolkien makes sure that the reader knows that Bilbo is of an unremarkable sort. Bilbo, a hobbit of Baggins and Took lineage, displays his Baggins’ side when he first hears of the wizard Gandalf’s seemingly nonchalant proposition. The Bagginses are known to be “very respectable … because they never had any adventures or did anything expected” (3).
