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.
