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 other words, Tolkien and Milhaud both use music to portray deep meaningfulness without having to write out, verbatim, that in which they are trying to represent in their
In the novel The Hobbit, Tolkien uses figurative language to contribute to the overall tone of the story by giving the readers a feel of what the characters are experiencing. Since the story takes place in a time before our own, the author used symbolism and wordplay to make the story's tone be dark and mysterious to match with the story’s origin. Dark imagery was shown when the bear slaughtered the animals in a horrific way. Bilbo Baggins explained it as, “ A goblin’s head and a warg-skin was nailed to a tree just beyond”(Tolkien 145). Later in the book, as the characters were wandering in the forest, they approached a land that belonged to wild spiders and were threatened.

The songs sung throughout “the Hobbit” help develop characterization. In the elves song, it has a happy and energetic characterization and they are very put together. In the song it states, “The bannocks are backing! O! tril-lil-lil-lolly, the valley is jolly, ha! ha!”. This quote from “the Hobbit” shows the elves happy and energetic state in the song.
Music can bring the brightest of joys that keeps us moving through our dull and boring lives. An example of this joy is Ishmael Beah’s life as a boy soldier in his book A Long Way Gone. As he tells you his story, he tells of his dance group with his friends, the times he heard music in the middle of war, and how music saved him from the madness that brewed within him. Music has the unique ability to create peace in a person’s life despite the difficulties surrounding them, and to bring a constant reminder of who they are as a person.
“All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost.” I’m sure you would all recognise the first story that you fell in love with as a child. For me, this was ‘The Hobbit’, by J.R.R Tolkien. I remember sitting in my room as my dad said “this was my favourite book when I was a kid.” I was only seven at the time, but within the pages of that book I could have been a dwarf, an elf, a wizard, or even a hobbit, roaming over mountains and crossing great rivers on my adventure.
The novel states, “We must away, ere break of day, To claim our long-forgotten gold.” This is about their plans to defeat Smaug and win back their gold, so compared to the the elf or troll song, the content has a completely different meaning. The purpose of the author including this to reveal the dwarves’ obsession with gold is so great, they would fight a dragon to get it back. The tone is serious, which differs from the elf song. In total, the song is ten stanzas long, which is longer than the song of the elves and the song of the trolls.
The book I read for the third nine weeks was The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien. Bilbo was recruited by Gandalf to go on a quest with dwarves to retake Erebor. On the adventure Bilbo becomes friends with them and the dragon was killed. It is in third person it never says “I” unless someone spoke, but it shows the thoughts of Bilbo. The story is in Middle Earth in sometime in the past and before The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Some native tribes used their music as a way of praying to their god(s) for hope, peace and acceptance. Music is and always was a very important aspect of the Cherokee’s lives, ways of expressing themselves and what they believed in. It got them through hard times and always kept them positive with hope that no matter how bad things would get, they’d always end up in their favor. This is why music was the most influential aspect of the Cherokee Indian’s culture, then during the time of the Trail of Tears, and even still
Legend has it that Professor John Ronald Reuel Tolkien of the University of Oxford was at his desk one summer 's day in 1930 wearily correcting examination papers when he came upon a page in an answer-book that was left blank. " In a hole in the ground," he wrote on the page, "there lived a hobbit." At the time, he had no idea what a hobbit was, much less why it would live in a hole in the ground- but he had to find out.
Team Work - I 've felt like I work very well in teams, although I do also work well alone, it feels great working alongside people who can help you get a job done efficiently and easily, especially if you grow to like those people which in my past experiences has always been the case; so I 'm very used to working with teams. Maturity - I believe maturity extends far beyond what a lot of people would interpret it as. It accounts for more than just not laughing at immature jokes and being able to be professional when faced with a task. Sensitivity and empathy I think are two important traits which come along with the idea of maturity. Sensitivity, of course, accounts for how one talks to others, I 'm sure we 're all very tired of seeing staff members on other servers that are there just for the purpose of saying they got a moderator position on that server so when it comes to moderating, they 're very lethargic with their work and can be emotionless when monotonously speaking with you.
