rr on the hobbit

          Every quest has obstacles, some more than others. The book The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien is about a hobbit, thirteen dwarves, and once in a while a wizard's journey to the dwarves old home that was taken over by a dragon. Dwarves are creatures that love treasure and have much of it. After a while of treasure mining and collecting, a dragon spotted the treasure and took over the dwarve's castle and its treasure for its own. So the hobbit, Bilbo was chosen my the wizard, Gandalf to accompany the thirteen dwarves on their quest to steal their treasure back. Of course this kind of journey can't be just a walk in the park. They come across goblins who we all know eat hobbits and dwvares, a mysterious goblin creature named Gollum who loves long riddles and the ring Bilbo unknowingly stole, and more. But like in every good story, there is some sort of happy ending to the quest.
          In everyday life we come across our own obstacles. Like Bilbo and the dwarves, we must overcome them to get to our own destination. It might be simple things like reaching the t.v remote without moving. An obstacle would be that it is so far away, but the solution would be to use your feet. And your destination is getting the remote and changing the channel. But some things are harder and more important, like getting an one hundred on a test. You don't just take the test and wish for the best, you need to work for it. You need to pay attention in class and study hard. An obstacle would be having one of your friends ask you to hang out before the test or talk to you in class, but to get that one hundred you have to tell your friend to hang out another time and to ask them to stop talking to you.
        This is Bilbo's first adventure, and his first time out of his small and safe town. But be took a big step to go on this journey. At first, he was scared and decided he shouldn't go. But he knew deep down that we wanted to go, but that fear was holding him back. Like Franklin Delano Roosevelt said, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."  From this book I learned to take risks and chances. I also learned that no matter how crazy the quest, no matter how hard the obstacles are to overcome, never give in and never stop trying.
