The Hobbit

Bilbo Baggins is a dynamic character. His role in The Hobbit, by JRR Tolkein, is a role that can’t be played by a better person. He shows many characteristics through out the book that proves his worthiness in his adventure to Lonely Mountain. Some of these characteristics include cleverness, courage, and inner-strength.
Bilbo’s cleverness helps him in his adventures. When he finds the ring, he outsmarts Gollum with riddles to get away. Gollum wants the ring that Bilbo has because it turns the wearer invisible. The riddle he wins with is "What is in my pocket?" Once he has the ring, he uses it to his advantage and is able to escape the goblins in the cave and get out alive. One of his most clever deeds is when he helps the dwarves escape that castle in Mirkwood. To get them out, he places them in barrels that he knows are going to be thrown out ont

to the river leading out of town. This enables the dwarves to escape.

Bilbo’s inner-strength becomes the yielding force that holds the group together. He saves the dwarves from the goblins be shouting for Gandalf. When this happens, Gandalf shows up and kills the goblins. Bilbo single handily leads the dwarves into the mountain and to the treasure. "The light grew smaller as he wandered away into the vast hall; then it began to rise dancing into the air. Bilbo was climbing the great mound of treasure." He knows where it is and leads the dwarves to it. In the end, he attempts to rid Thorin of his greed. Thorin wants what someone else has and will go to any means to get it. Bilbo ends up making Thorin realize that he can’t always have what he wants and he apologizes to Bilbo before he dies.

Bilbo’s courage keeps him going
