The Hero's Journey.



Reading the story The Annotated Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien, I discovered that the way how Bilbo's Baggins starts his hero's journey is by a wizard. So, one day when Baggins is just chilling outside like it's a normal day nothing out of the ordinary, when out of no where a tall old man approach's him. Now Baggins is a hobbit which are shorter, like legit half the size of an average human and they have hairy feet like Chewbacca hair on their feet. So the wizards name is Gandalf, he offers Baggins if he would like to join him on an adventure but Baggins says no but offers him a drink to be nice. Now Baggins deny's the offer which happens a lot in a hero's journey. Gandalf tries in another way to get Baggins to join him on his adventure by sending other dwarfs to Baggins home to get him to agree to come with them. Baggins gets interested in the quest due to the treasure that could be obtain if he joins the group. A hero's journey show's the main character setting off on his quest for adventure to achieve his goal of getting the tressure that is in the mountains from what the map said from Gandalf. Baggins is an odd hobbit but he has adventure in his blood because of his mother but most hobbits like to play it safe honestly. Overall, the story was a decent read that had a magical journey that gave it an interesting tone to it.
