Hero Study

The book I am currently reading is The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. It is a book about a young creature named a Hobbit who leaves his house to win treasure guarded by a dragon.

In this book the hero is not as clear becausen the main character whos name is Bilbo, is a hobbit who's a coward, chip, and hopeful. Although he has these non heroic qualities, he accepts the quest that the wizard gives him and leaves his home thus leaving his ordinary world. The nature of a hobbit would be to stay, but by making the leap to leaving his ordinary world already shows that Bilbo will most likely become a hero throughout the story. Leaving the world is also self-sacrificing because he will have to leave the home he loves along with the people he love.
