The Hobbit Blog Assignment

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."
