    The hobbit

    There is a story about a young hobbit by the name of Bilbo Baggins who lived in a town called

    the Shire which is located in Middle Earth for most of his life. The Arthur of this story is named J.R.R

    Tolkien and he wrote the book of the hobbit as well as the lord of the rings.It is also in the movies of the

    hobbits that shows the journey. The main characters of this story are Bilbo Baggins, Gandlfa the gray

    wizard, the 13 dwarves and their names are Kili, Fili, Balin, Dwalin, Bofur, Bommur, Gloin, Bifur, Oin,

    Ori, Dori, Nori, and Thorin.. These 13 dwarves are going on a journey to reclaim their home that is within

    the mountain and they meet a young hobbit by the name of Bilbo Baggins that is going to help them on

    their journey to reclaim the mountain. For these 13 dwarves to be able to reclaim their home within the

    mountain since it was once theirs until a dragon took their home from them and is now living within the

    mountain till the dwarves are able to get it back. These 13 dwarves, Bilbo, and Gandalf must travel across

    middle earth to be able to reach the mountain. That would take a couple months to get the mountain on

    foot. As well as to fight against the trolls, goblins and anything else that is trying to stop the company

    from reaching the mountain.

    For Bilbo who lived in the Shire, he was never bothered by anyone who doesn’t live there and who isn’t a

    hobbit as well. That is until Bilbo meets a man that was outside of his home smoking close to the front

    door and this visitor was a wizard by the name Gandalf. Gandalf had come to the shire in search of a

    person who is willing to go on an adventure with him and the company that he created. All that the
    Montiel 1

    unsuspecting Bilbo saw that morning was an old man with a staff. He had a tall pointed blue hat, a long

    gray cloak, a silver scarf over which his long white beard hung below his waist, and immense black boots.

    It was Bilbo who saw this man as he was opening the front door of his home and saw this strange man

    that he didn't recognize at all. Bilbo doesn’t want to be bothered by Gandalf that was outside of his home

    smoking and looking off in the distance. That is until Gandalf asked Bilbo if he would like to go on an

    adventure with him. “ Very pretty! Said Gandalf,” but I have no time to blow smoke-rings this morning. I

    am looking for someone to share in an adventure that I am arranging, and it’s very difficult to find

    anyone.” ( Tolkien 7) This is what Gandalf was telling Bilbo and he was hoping that it would spark some

    interest within the young hobbit. Gandalf was hoping that Bilbo would agree with what he was saying

    about this adventure.

    Bilbo didn’t care about any type of journey because he didn't want to be a part of but that didn't stop

    Gandalf from leaving a mark on Bilbo’s front door. Unknown to Bilbo that Gandalf had left a small but

    not so noticeable mark on the door that let the dwarves that were coming to know where to stop. As Bilbo

    is inside of his own home getting tea ready for Gnadalf, it was actually unknown to Biblo that he was

    expecting some company arriving soon at his front door and that Gandalf had left as well. That is when

    one by one the dwarves begin to arrive at the home of Bilbo. Once the majority of the dwarves had

    arrived and Gandalf came back to the home of Bilbo. Now they are waiting for the leader who goes by

    Thorin to arrive at Bilbo’s home to talk about the journey that they are going to have to go through.

    For this company must travel to different parts of Middle earth as well as meet different people that help

    them to continue their journey, to be able to reach the mountain by themselves. The most important thing

    is a monster by the name of Azog who is trying to kill Thorin and stop the company from reaching the

    mountain. This monster will stop at nothing to kill Thorin and make sure he as well as his bloodline dies

    with him. There is another monster that is helping Azog to stop Thorin and his company from reaching

    the mountain, his name is Bolg and he is actually the son of Azog. It continues toward a big battle that the
    Montiel 1

    elves, the humans , and the rest of the dwarves must fight in order to stop Azog’s army from taking over

    Middle earth. But at the end Thorin and his nephews lose their lives within the battle against the army of

    Azog.
