The Hobbit: Blog Assignment #1

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".
