The Hobbit Blog Assignment
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.
