In the book, Gandalf intervenes in the troll’s conversation and speaks as the trolls Tom and Bert, which irritates the trolls and wastes their time. Therefore, Gandalf succeeds in killing all three trolls by shining the sunlight on them. One notable example is, “‘Two to one, so shut yer mouth!’ said Bert. ‘Who are you a-talkin to ?’ said William. ‘Now stop it!’ said Tom and Bert together. ‘The night’s gettin’ on, and dawn comes early. Let’s get on with it!’ ‘Dawn take you all and be stone to you!’ said a voice that sounded like William’s” (Tolkien 41). Through Gandalf’s clever behavior, he fools all of the trolls. Gandalf uses his voice manipulation to make him sound as if he is one of the trolls. When he imitates the troll 's voice he is able to trick trolls through magic. According to the movie, Jackson makes Bilbo speak to the trolls on how to cook dwarf, which Gandalf in the book does by using his voice manipulation to stall Bert, Tom, and William. Bilbo tells the trolls that cooking dwarf should be done when they don’t have skin, to make their meat tastier. This advice Bilbo uses stalls the trolls, so they will be killed by the rising of the sun which the director accomplished to make the movie more interesting.When, Peter Jackson uses the different lighting and angles to get a close up on Bilbo face, he makes this part of the movie more intriguing. This makes the audience more curious to anticipate Bilbo reaction to the outcome of the scene. Jackson uses different audio and visual techniques to bring different audiences together to watch this extraordinary movie. By having Bilbo save the dwarves Jackson is portraying Bilbo as a strong, quick witted, and heroic character. Jackson also shows Bilbo character development from the nervous wreck to the heroic character in the end of the film. As you can see, the book and the movie are interesting and
“Three very large persons sitting round a very large fire of beech-logs… But they were trolls. Obviously trolls. Even Bilbo, in spite of his sheltered life, could see that: from the great heavy faces of them, and their size, and the shape of their legs, not to mention their language, which was not drawing-room fashion at all, at all” (Tolkien 34). This certain excerpt recounts the first time Bilbo saw trolls and it also describes the trolls and their character.
Even though this part of the hero’s journey was portrayed pretty similarly, there is still a bit of a difference. They both used their instincts, but Bilbo was influenced a bit by the dwarves. His Took side had shown while the dwarves were contemplating whether he was fit for the adventure or not. This made him want to prove himself to them. Instincts aren’t normally the cause of the call to adventure, but for some reason, these two very different novels are similar this way.
In the movie,“The Hobbit”, there are several elements that are different and some that are the same. One way they are the different is in the movie when Bilbo woke up the morning after the party, the house was empty and he thought it was all a dream. But in the book the house was a complete mess. In the book, the author explains,”There was a fearful mess in the room, and piles of unwashed crocks in the kitchen.” In other words, In the book the house is messy, but in the movie it is clean when Bilbo woke up.
Many authors such as, J.R.R Tolkien, use their writing to get entertain, inform, or persuade. While writing the author may put their own opinions in a book or novel. By including a character with certain traits they believe to be viewed in a positive light or they may include a character that has traits they view in a negative light. Tolkien also shows two sides he feels may be needed for a journey like this,physical strength and intelligence. Intelligence is more important and Tolkien shows what he feels is positive through Bilbo the main character and negative through Bilbo’s enemies.
He kindly rejects but the next day he is payed a visit by thirteen dwarves. That is the day little Bilbo started his first adventure. There are usually many differences between the movie and the book. Jackson effectively changed many parts of the movie that were not in the book, two of the changes Jackson made were how
Firstly, Mr. Baggins is courageous when he saves the dwarves from the spiders. Secondly, Bilbo becomes a well-respected leader, when he develops a plan to free the dwarves from the Elvenking. Finally, Bilbo develops bravery when he encounters Gollum and escapes. Thus, Bilbo Baggins grows greatly as a Hobbit, and gains
Without Gandalf present, Bilbo would not have attended the journey, “’I give it you. In fact I will go so far as to send you on an adventure’” (Tolkien 6). Here, Gandalf is making his decision clear to the thirteen dwarves that this is his decision to declare Bilbo as the burglar for the upcoming adventure. Since the beginning of the novel, the dwarves give off a very disrespectful attitude towards Bilbo.
Bilbo risks his own life to save the dwarves many times during the adventure, which in turn gains him the respect he deserves. This new respect that Bilbo has acquires gives him plenty of confidence in himself to get the job done, whatever it may be. This clearly shows that Bilbo's change from being ridiculed and doubted by the dwarves to being very highly respected is a dramatic one and deserves recognition. All Bilbo needed is a chance to prove the dwarves wrong, and that is what he gets when those same dwarves appear on his doorstep that sunny afternoon. Along with Bilbo Baggins becoming a braver and more respected hobbit, he also develops the most important change in the story; he changes from being incompetent to very resourceful.
Bilbo calls the spiders names and sings insulting songs, angering them and luring them away from the dwarves. When Bilbo makes enough distance between the dwarves and the spiders, he goes back to save his friends. Bilbo learns that he has what it takes to change the course of a bad
You are a normal hobbit named Bilbo Baggins that leads a normal life, sipping tea, and living in the Shire, a peaceful place where the hobbits live. Everything changes when 13 dwarves and a wizard whisk you away on the quest to take back the city of Erebor and defeat Smaug, the evil dragon that stole the treasure of the Lonely mountain. This is the plot of the amazing story of The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien, where Bilbo Baggins uncovers more about himself than he imagined. The book and movie version of the story are both strong in their own way. In my opinion, the book does a better job developing relationships between characters whereas the movie has more interesting subplots.
The journey that Bilbo endures transforms him into a hero. Bilbo encounters many tests and trials throughout the story which reveal character. These courageous actions display the heroic character of Bilbo. Throughout The Hobbit, Bilbo displays the universal message that anyone can develop into a hero. Even the smallest and seemingly weakest creatures and people can become as great as Bilbo.

Beorn, The Movie Effectiveness What way do you think makes the Hobbit scene with more effective? The movie or the book? The movie’s changes do not make a better impact for specific reasons. The Hobbit was written by J.R.R Tolkien in 1997 and the movie was directed by Peter Jackson in 2013.
