The Hero's Journey.

The Hobbit, Bilbo goes on a hero's journey. He begins in the innocent of the hobbit shire. He loves his life there and doesn't want anything to disturb it, but the wizard Gandolf visits him and calls him to go on an adventure. Bilbo tries very hard to get out of this, but the dwarves need his help so he finally goes to help. Along the journey, they meet many scary trials. For example, some of the dwarves are captured by the trolls and Bilbo figures out how to set them free. The biggest test is when he faces the dragon, but Bilbo lets his fear get the best of him. He steals a cup from the dragon and the dragon gets really mad. All heroes on the journey make a mistake along the way. Luckily the dragon is killed but not before he burns down the town. In the end, he goes back home and writes about his adventure. He is not really a hero like we think today.
