The Hobbit

When Bilbo says he is pleased to be only wuite a little fellow in a wide world after all i think he meant that he is finally pleased with himself. After all he has done and all he has gone through he finally realizes that he is just as important to the world as anyone. I would like to be only a small little fellow in this wide world. I would like to feel a since of individuality and authenticity. I would love to have the feeling of being different from everyone else. Me being authentic and different would be an amazing feeling of self worth. I realize everyone is special and different in their own way but for people to recognize that you are one of a kind and there is no one like you has to be glorifying and just plain lovely. Many people call other people ordinary. I don't want to be an ordinary person. I want to make something of myself. I want people to see me and automatically know my name and who I am. People talk about staying under the radar but but I would like to be a big blinking light right in your face that your eyes go straight to.

In "The Hobbit" by J. R. R. Tolkien the main character, Bilbo Baggins, states that he is pleased to be " only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all." I,personally, would not be happy being "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all" because then no one would know who I am. I want to be known in this world and have many friends. To be hidden and unknown in the world will make me feel unimportant. So, if I feel unimportant I would not have much self confidence. If I were to not have any self confidence no one would even want to be my friend, because all I would do is say bad things about myself. It is nearly impossible to be known and have many friends when you hide in the background for you whole life. So, I am happy to say I would NOT want to be "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all."

The Hobbit

In the book, The Hobbit, Bilbo says he is pleased to be ''only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all.'' I think Bilbo realized how easy his little life in his hobbit hole was compared to how hard and difficult the outside world can be. Bilbo never went on an adventure before Gandalf and the Dwarves showed up. When he did go on the adventure, he proved himself as a brave, courageous hobbit. After the adventure, he still wanted to go back to his home and have peace and quiet. As for me, I would not be happy to be ''only quite a little fellow in a wide world.'' I would prefer going on adventures rather than sitting at home doing nothing. I look forward to getting out of Denham Springs and seeing the world with my own two eyes someday. I want to have experiences I would not have had if I stayed in Denham Springs. I'm jealous that Bilbo went into an adventure and came out a hero. That is something that I will probably not experience. Maybe as I get older my mind will change, but for now I want to be the adventurer.

The Hobbit

In "The Hobbit" Bilbo says he is pleased to be " only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all?" I would not be happy to be that. If you want to make friends you can't just stand in the back. You won't get any body back there. Maybe Bilbo likes it because he likes peace and quite without listening to anyone. Personally, I would rather be noticed by somebody. It isn't that I don't like peace and quiet. It's that I don't like it how Bilbo doesn't like anyone knocking on his door. The only way that could happen is if nobody cares about you. I would like to have someone show up at my door every minute than nobody showing up. I don't like being alone and unnoticed. Instead, I would rather never have peace and always have someone noticing me. So, I would not be happy being only quite a little fellow in a wide world because if you are, then you are someone who doesn't matter to anyone.

The Hobbit

At the end of the book, The Hobbit, Gandalf tells Bilbo, "You are quite a little fellow in a wide world after all". Everyday, Bilbo does the same thing at the same time. He is not very adventuress and rarely has friends to talk too. Also, he is a very small guy. Bilbo does not stand out, he runs and hinds. Personally, I would not want to be a little fellow. Nor would I want to do the same thing all day, everyday. I enjoy being with friends and traveling from place to place. It excites me to discover new things. By no means am I antisocial, so i would most likely find it hard not to have company often. I love being with tons of people and I always put myself out there to meet others. I am glad that I am not a little fellow in wide world.

In The Hobbit, Bilbo states he is pleased to be "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all." I personally would not like to be a little fellow in a wide world because I want to see what the world has to offer. I like to experience new things, meet new people and enjoy life. I have danced since I was three years old, I love being on stage and the world is a stage. Dance has afforded me the opportunity to shed my insecurities and become more outgoing. I would rather live my life to the fullest rather than sit at home and drink tea. I am the type of person who takes risks and is not afraid to stand up to anyone or anything. If someone sits around and does nothing, they would be wasting their life. I would get bored to easily. I understand how Bilbo likes to be alone because sometimes I want to be alone in my own little world. The times alone are short lived for me. I would have to disagree with Bilbo when he is pleased to be "only quite a young fellow in a wide world after all."

The Hobbit

I can see why Biblo Baggins is content with being "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all." Biblo enjoys a quiet, peaceful, and simple life. But I would not be happy as "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all," because i would feel like I was missing out on everything life has to offer. I think Biblo would rather stay in his comfort zone than experience life. But I think that is basically wasting a life. Biblo could make a difference in the world. He may only be a little hobbit but he has many talents. He is smart, brave, quiet, and sneaky. But Biblo only goes on one adventure and was forced to go.
Biblo should take more risks and go on more adventures. There is so much he could do with his life. If I was a hobbit I would take every opportunity I had to go on an adventure or just take risks. Biblo needs to learn how to come out his comfort zone and live life. After all, life is all about taking risks.

Bilbo agrees that he is a small fellow in a wide world after all. This meaning that he's content with living in a hobbit hole and drinking tea. During his time with Gandalf and the dwarves he learned the high life.He would rather his life over that. After his adventure thats what he did too.

I would be happy to be a small fellow in a wide world. The world that I live now is a wide world and would'nt be easy to stand out. I am not a celebrity nor do I want to be. A small life away from the city would be okay for me. Then I agree with Bilbo.

In the novel The Hobbit, Bilbo is pleased to be," only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all?". I would not be pleased to be a little fellow in a wide world. I would not like this because I don't think I could stand people looking down at me all the time. Also, I don't think I could take the jokes from people. Even if Bilbo was small and very helpful in the adventure, I think someone that was bigger would've be a better help. I think this because a bigger person would have more stamina, strength, and intimidation. A bigger person would have more stamina simply because smaller people have a smaller lung capacity. A bigger person would have more strength because they are bigger. A bigger person would have more intimidation than a hobbit simply because of the size factor. During the adventure when the dwarves were captured by the goblins, a bigger person would've helped more because he could've fended off more goblins. Also, a bigger person would have been able to carry the fattest dwarf, Bombur. Although a little fellow would have good advantages, a bigger peron would have more.

In the book, The Hobbit, Gandalf describes Bilbo Baggins as "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all." Blibo is pleased with being "quite a little fellow in a wide world." After he has experienced a dangerous adventure that most people probably wouldn't have made it through, he would still prefer his normal lifestyle in his safe, little, hobbit hole. Which is perfectly fine, because that is his opinion. But me and several of my classmates choose to disagree with Mr. Baggins.
I, personally, could never be "quite a little fellow in a wide world." That quote simply means you don't really stand out in the world , your just kind of there and don't have any importance. Although it would probably be safer and easier, I most likely would be very bored and unhappy. In my life, I like to have fun, take risks, and be happy. My goal in life is to live it to the fullest. Whatever happens, no regrets, because everything happens for a reason. I couldn't live my life going unnoticed. I would like to someday make a difference in this "wide world". Simply following the crowd would not satisfy me. So instead of being "only quite a little fellow in a wide world", I would like to be remembered for the things I have done in my life. I would want to be someone other people would want to follow, a leader.

In the book, The Hobbit, Bilbo says he is pleased to be "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all". I absolutely agree with him because there are many advantages to being little. For instance, if you were short, you couldfit and hide in places where taller people cannot get into. I would be joyful if I was a little fellow in a wide world. I would also like to be little because I could be sly about almost everything. Also, I could sneak around somwhere I am not supposed to be. In The Hobbit, Bilbo snuck behind Gollum because, I think, he was small and sly. Another advantage is that I could run faster than I could now. Although I may not be able to reach everything, being small has a lot of advantages. If I was tall than I would probably get spotted easier, and I could not hide in a lot of places. Another disadvantage of being tall is that I could not sneak around and spy on people. I agree with bilbo one hundred percent that being little is not a bad thing.

Reading Journal #1 The Hobbit

At the end of the book The Hobbit, Gandalf says to Mr. Bilbo Baggins he is "very fond of you, but you are only a quite little fellow in a wide world after all". I think by this he means, of all the people in a wide world, Bilbo has proved himself to be a very important person, maybe even one of the best. Bilbo says he is pleased with this, a big change considering in most of the book, he is wishing he was in his Hobbit hole drinking tea. He never wanted to go on this adventure, he is a type of person that isn't used to big quests such as this one.

I don't think I would want to be "only a quite little fellow in a wide world".

I would rather have a life like Mr. Baggins at the beginning of the book. A normal life of staying at my home suits me better than traveling all around. If you had asked Bilbo the same question at the beginning of the book, he would most likely say the same, but if you had asked him after the quest, his answer would be different. Perhaps if I did the same as Mr. Baggins, and went on an adventure and came back a hero, I would like to be "a quite little fellow in a wide world".

In the book, The Hobbit, Gandalf tells Bilbo in the end that "you are quite a little fellow in a wide world after all" and Bilbo is quite pleased. He dose not have a problem with being a “little fellow.” Bilbo does not preferably like going on adventures, he likes to just stay in his hobbit hole and smoke some tobacco. He was very hesitant at first when Gandalf and the dwarfs insisted him to go with them, this is because he feels content and safe in his hole. Therefore, he likes to stay home, doing the same routine day after day after day. I would not be satisfied with being only “a little fellow in a wide world.” Adventuring and traveling are a couple of my passions, it is something I love to do. I would love to discover the world and experience all the beautiful sites that need to be cherished. I would not be able to follow the same routine every single day like Bilbo. It would feel like I was not going anywhere in my life. I like to let life take its toll and enjoy everything that happens. I am really glad I am not “a little fellow in a wide world.”

The Hobbit

In ,The Hobbit, Bilbo says he is pleased to be, "Only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all." Although being small has it's disadvantages, it also has it's advantages. I would be perfectly fine with being a very small person in a very large world. Being small means you get to be the center of attention most the time. It also means you don't have to bend down as far or carry around as much weight. Being small means you have many disadvantages also. It means you can't reach as many things, or usually lift as much weight as most others. Being really small would mean you can't participate in a lot of activities, such as carnival rides as well. I still wouldn't mind being small, because if that's the way God made me, or made anyone, they and I should be proud of it, which I would be. There are many things I stated good and bad about being a little guy in a big world. But no matter how many cons there are about it, I still would be happy with being, "Only quite a little fellow in a wide world." Therefore I agree with Bilbo's feelings about being the way he is.

A Little Fellow in a Wide World After All

Bilbo says that he is pleased to be "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all," What this means is that he is fine with being small in a big world, because you don't have to be big and strong to be brave and powerful. This is a great life philosophy for him because, he lives in a world where there are many dangers. Being little helps him hide and sneak away. It also doesn't help him in many ways. He's not strong enough to fight off a group of ogres, but he's smart enough to persuade them to leave him alone.
I wouldn't want to be "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all," because I need to be big to survive in the world that I live in. Even though there are no goblins, ogres, or dragons in the world we live in, doesn't mean that you don't need protection. You also don't want to be too big, because then you might not live a healthy and normal life. So, in other words, I disagree and agree with Bilbo when he says that he is "pleased to be only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all."

After all of the adventures that Bilbo Baggins had to take, he said he is pleased to be "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all." I would have to say that I agree and disagree with him. He likes being in his little, quiet hobbit hole. I would be very content with living alone, in a quiet home. Although I enjoy the quiet, I also disagree with Mr. Baggins. I love new challenges and new adventures. I enjoy exploring and learning new things. Bilbo did not. He wanted to be left alone in his home. He seemed quite annoyed when Gandalf and the dwarves intruded into his hole. He did not want homeless dwarves and a wizard to barge into his peacefulness. He especially didn't want to go on a wild adventure to slay a dragon! Despite the fact that Bilbo liked to be left alone, I have to agree with him, but disagree also.

Bilbo says that he is happy to be "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all." I agree with Bilbo. Being small in a big world would be fun. You would have endless possibilities. You would not be the center of attention, just a small person. I would be happy to live like this. I would not like being the center of attention, in a small world. Everyone watching your every move, asking you for advice. To me this is a very sad existence. You would get no alone time or down time. That is why I agree with Bilbo. It is better to be, "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all."

After fending off trolls, discovering a ring in which made him invisible, escaping goblins, and also experiencing many other life-threatening and incredible events, Bilbo says he is pleased to be "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all." He wishes to stay comfortably in his safe hobbit hole on The Hill. I can not say that I blame Mr. Baggins. Being a hobbit, it must have been very difficult going days without food! After reading about his adventures and hardships, it is quite understandable why he prefers the comfort of his home.
Personally, I wouldn't be happy to be "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all." Repeating the same routine every single day would grow old. Sure, I enjoy having a warm meal when I'm hungry and a cozy sleeping place when I'm tired. Who doesn't? Overall, however, I'd much prefer the excitement of an adventure. If along the way I struggle with a few hardships, so be it. It would make going home all the more worth it.

At the end of The Hobbit Bilbo says he is pleased to be "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all." I disagree with Bilbo. I would not like to be just a little fellow in a wide world after all. Bilbo is happy to sit in his hobbit-hole and never leave or venture out. I like to explore the unexplored I like being different from everyone else. I like to stand out in life. I could not just sit down and do nothing every single day. Many adventures bring much excitement to my life and excitement is exactly what my life needs. In the story Bilbo is certain that he is non-adventurous when he speaks with Gandalf but once he sets for the adventure he realizes there actually is some adventure in him. That was his chance to stand out, and stand out he does. If there is ever a chance for me to be different or stand out from everyone else in a good way I take it. Standing out in a different way makes me feel better about myself. It is better than just following the leader and doing what everyone else is doing. Bilbo admits to being pleased to be "only quite a little fellow in the world after all" and to avoid standing out but I am positive that I would not.

The Hobbit

There are many reasons Bilbo is pleased to be "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all." Bilbo is pleased because there are many wonderful things he can do that others can't do. For example, Bilbo can sneak around better than other peole. He can be stealthy, quick, and fit in places others can't. Being "a little fellow" helps Bilbo on many of his quests and to overcome trials. That is why Bilbo says he is pleased to be "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all."
I don't think I'd be happy to be "a little fellow" because there are certain things that you aren't able to do when you're small. I wouldn't be as strong if I was little. I wouldn't be able to carry better armor and use larger weapons if I was smaller. I am glad to be larger because I can survive better when I take a hit. There are many great things about being large. That is why I wouldn't be happy to be "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all."

At the end of The Hobbit, Gandalf tells Bilbo that he is, "Only a quite little fellow in a wide world after all." Bilbo says that he is pleased to be a little fellow in a wide world. I disagree with Bilbo. He would rather stay in his hobbit-hole and eat and drink tea all day. To me, that is a boring life. At the beginning of the story, Bilbo hated going on adventures. I love going places I have never been before and accomplishing many things. I want to make a difference, stand out. Not sit back and do nothing like Bilbo did. Tomorrow is never promised to us. I want to live everyday like it was my last day on Earth. So no, I would not want to be, "Only a quite little fellow in a wide world after all."

I would not be pleased to be "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all."I would like to be an adventurous person in the world,even thought Bilbo is happy about living alone.I would love to discover Earth's beautiful landscapes. I would not like to live a little hole all alone and drink tea and smoke tabacco like Bilbo loves to. I would love to have lots of friends and get married some day. Bilbo may be happy with living a little hole separated from the world alone, but not me. I'm too hyper to sit in silent hole. I never like to be be normal either. I've always wanted to stand out in a crowed. Bilbo may have stepped out of his normal life to help the dwarfs on their quest for gold in the mountains, but if they never came he would still be at his lonely little hole. Bilbo did show a large amount of courage and bravery in his quest, but when will another situation come up when his adventurous side would come out again? I would need more adventures than just one quest for gold. I would never like to be the "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all."

In the end of The Hobbit, Bilbo is pleased to be “only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all.” I could not be content with living the life of a hobbit as Bilbo did because I would want more excitement in my life. Bilbo is happy to live all alone in his little hobbit hole. He is happy with who he is and his quiet, uneventful life. He doesn’t want to change even after he experienced such dangerous adventures. Bilbo had his chance to be important and be admired when he saved the dwarfs. Although I enjoy being alone sometimes and having peace and quiet, I couldn’t live like that all the time. If we just live life in the safety and security of our own home we would miss out on all of the adventures and plans God has for us. I wouldn’t want to live in a little hobbit hole without family and friends. I believe each person is given unique gifts and talents that should be shared with those around us to make this world a better place. For example, you may not be tall and strong, but like the hobbit you may have the ability to be quiet and swift. You can use your own abilities when given the opportunity to help someone else. Making a difference in the lives of others no matter how great or small cannot happen living life all alone as a hobbit. So even though Bilbo is pleased to be “only a quite a little fellow in a wide world after all”, I am certain that I would not be.

In the book, The Hobbit, Gandalf tells Bilbo in the end that "you are quite a little fellow in a wide world after all" and Bilbo replies by saying "Thank goodness!". In the beginning, Bilbo wasn't exactly happy about the dwarves dragging him into an adventure that had nothing to do with him. Bilbo seems very content with staying in his familiar hobbit hole, having the same routines, and not going on adventures. I would not be satisfied with being "quite a little fellow in a wide world", since I aspire to do my best. I couldn't have the same routine everyday, because I would feel like I wasn't accomplishing anything with my life. I want to make my own adventures and experience the world. I am the type of person who likes to express my ideas and opinions. I am not the type of person who keeps quiet and doesn't want to explore and face new challenges. Although you may experience ups and downs in life, you must be prepared to stand up and face your fears. Bilbo was able to face his fears during his adventure, and help defeat their foes despite the low expectations Bilbo had for himself. I want to make a difference in my life and the life of others. I would be disappointed if I was only "quite a little fellow in a wide world".

When Bilbo says that he is pleased to be "only quite a little fellow in the wide world after all" I think that he is happy to be a little fellow. I think Bilbo enjoyed the adventure but he would rather just stay at his hobbit hole. I ,unlike Bilbo, wouldn't have been alright with going back to my house after such a wonderful time. In the beginning of the story Bilbo didn't really want to go on the adventure, but as the story goes on I think Bilbo starts to enjoy the adventure. I wouldn't exactly want to be "only quite a little fellow in the wide world after all" because i would like to experience the world and see new things. Bilbo was the kind of person that would just rather stay at his house and do whatever his normal routine was. On the other hand Bilbo liked going on adventures because of his ancestors, the Tooks. I would've very much enjoyed the adventure. The reason I'm saying this is because I'm the kind of person that likes going to new places and trying new things. Anyways I think that Bilbo kind of enjoyed the adventure. Then again in the book it kept saying how Bilbo wished continuously that he could've just stayed home. Well Bilbo and I are two very different people.

No, I would not be happy to be "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all." The reason why is because if you are only "quite a little fellow in a wide world after all," you are blending in and not getting noticed by the world. Bilbo seemed perfectly happy in his hobbit hole and not getting noticed. In fact, at the beginning of the story Bilbo was quite annoyed that the dwarfs and Gandalf even came to his hobbit hole and disturbed his quiet, peaceful, and uneventful life. That is most definitely not how i want my life to be. I want to stand out, be noticed, and not be afraid to stand strong against all of life's challenges and trials. What kind of difference can you make if you don't even allow yourself to stand out? All around you, people are choosing to live like Bilbo Baggins. They just want to be left alone and not noticed or payed attention to. They don't realize that they can actually make a difference. I mean, look at what Bilbo did! He journeyed through the most perilous and terrifying adventures anyone had ever known, and  faced more terrifying things than some people even experience in their nightmares. What I'm trying to say is, i want my life to be something that will be remembered. My life is a gift. It can be taken away at any moment. Why not live every day like it's your last? Thefefore, no, i would not be happy to be "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all."

In the novel, The Hobbit, Bilbo says he is pleased to be "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all." I think that when he said this he meant he is pleased with who he is as well as his size and his life as a small Hobbit. Bilbo is a humble hobbit living in his hole and even though he enjoyed the adventure with the dwarves he likes his normal way of life more. That is what he meant when he said he was pleased to be "only quite a little fellow in a wide world." I would also be happy to be "quite a little fellow." People would not expect so much from such a small person. They might be fascinated by my smallness. Other people might even envy seeing life from the point of view on a smaller scale. I think that life as a little hobbit in the wide world would be enjoyable and at certain points exciting. Having tea at four o'clock with numerous guest in my very own hobbit hole sounds like a nice life. Being known as a respectable hobbit with an adventurous past and entertaining stories would be very nice. Being "only quite a little fellow in a wide world" sounds like a nice life to me.

At the end of the hobbit Bilbo says he is happy to be "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all." Bilbo is happy to not be a part of the world. Bilbo is content living in his hobbit hole. Bilbo may not think it but he played a big role in his adventure. Even though Bilbo manged to go on a great adventure he would still rather just sit at home in in his hobbit hole. I do not agree with Bilbo I would not want to be "only a little fellow in a wide world after all." Unlike Bilbo I would not be happy to be a little fellow in a wide world. I wanna do something that makes a difference. If I cannot make a difference I would at least like to contribute to the world in some way. Many people set goals in life. I would like to achieve all of my goals in life. In doing that I hope I will make a impact on the world.

At the end of the novel The Hobbit or There and Back Again, Gandalf is talking Bilbo and tells him,"You are a very fine person, Mr Baggins, and I am very fond of you;but you are only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all!" To this Bilbo responds by saying,"Thank goodness." I think Bilbo is saying this and is glad that he is only a small fellow in the wide world. I think Bilbo thinks this now because he now understands that he is not just small but also plays a small role in the scheme of life and is glad for this. I think he is glad for as small of a part as his role was it was still a huge task to him. I think this because any larger part in this scheme may have been way to much for him to handle. For me in this role I know that I would most likely want a larger role in the scheme of life to make me feel more important. I also would want this because good things may even become of it but I really have no control in this so it really doesn't make a difference to me for a larger part can also lead to problems such as Thorin, he had a larger role and he died with it. though Thorin died that doesn't mean that a large roles lead to death because for Gandalf also had a larger role and didn't die or get injured. So I think it all depends on your actions really and with that I believe we can make a roles in the scheme of life larger if we just take more action and trust what we are gonna do is right. I think I could handle a larger role but I have no idea on how much I could take. Lastly, I would want a larger role to be remembered by but if I wasn't to get a larger role then it wouldn't bother me to much

Scott "Lee" Williams II

When Bilbo says that he's happy to be "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all", I think I know what he means. I think that he means it pleases him to just be a small part in the grand scheme of things. That-like Gandolf said-all his adventures and escapes were not managed by luck, or for Bilbo's sole gain.He is content with his small role in life. Though personally,I wouldn't be. I want to make a difference for the better. I want to make an impact on the world. You see, Bilbo has excepted ,and is happy with the fact that he is not really a key player. But me, I haven't. I want to be a key player. I want to help people, to just be the reason that the world is a better place(at all).But if that's not God's plan for me I guess there really isn't much I could do. So,back to the second part of the question. I could be happy as a nobody. But I want to be somebody someday and think I would be much happier that way.

Blog Post: The Hobbit

Towards the end of The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins realizes that he is content with being "only quite a little fellow in a wide world." Bilbo has gone to the edge and made it out not only alive, but with more than he had before. I would be happy to be "only quite a little fellow in a wide world," but on the other hand, I would find it boring. I want to feel like I have made a difference in someone's life or steered the world in a different direction. To inspire someone is a life changing action that makes you feel like you have done something amazing.

If you are adventurous and daring, you are a hero in the perspective of others. I want to be a hero to someone, instead of the boring lump-on-a-log who is content with their life, only because they have not experienced something far greater. Bilbo is a rare case where he went on an adventure and came back only wanting to be left in peace. If I were Bilbo, I would have continued on many more adventures! However, I do understand why Bilbo would only wish for his little hobbit-hole. After many near-death experiences, I would definately want to be in a calm and peaceful environment. Overall, being "only quite a little fellow in a wide world" is good for some people, but not for me.

In the book, The Hobbit, Gandalf tells Bilbo that he is "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all." Bilbo responds by saying that he is pleased to be "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all." What this statement means to me is that he does not think he has done anything important in his life. I think it is very ironic because Bilbo did a great deal in his lifetime, especially when compared to the other hobbits who never left the Shire. Bilbo and I share very different views. I am not content being just a little fellow in the world. I prefer to play a role in the world by being involved in something special or of importance. It would also be important for me to understand what role I play in it. One of my goals in life is to make a difference by serving our country in the military. Although I will only be one soldier, I feel I will be contributing to the greater good. I would not be happy at all to be only quite a little fellow in a wide world. To me when you are part of something special the world is a better place. In the book Bilbo’s response to Gandalf is that he is content to not play an important role in the world, where I want to play an important role.

The Hobbit: Being a Little Fellow

Being "quite a little fellow in a wide world" would have its ups and its downs. Me being so small in a big world would make me feel less important in the world. I would feel as if me doing any thing would have no purpose. People might tend to look down on you. However having such a large world around you might be great. It would make the world seem like there was more to discover. Making a mistake might seem like a less drastic event. Bilbo had a better experience to understand this. His adventure showed him both sides of the situation.I would need to go through that same experience to really know how I'd feel.Until then it's really just a guessing game. Although I see it being a good thing.
The only true experience i have with this is when I changed schools two years ago. I felt like i couldnt do anything to change the fact that i was new in school. However i then started to find new friends in this new "wide world". Although, i wasnt exactly as small as a hobbit.
