Bilbo is very proud of his home and it's "perfectly round door"

He is well-respected and dependable, a 'hobbit of habit', if you will.

"He had decided he was not quite his sort"

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Tiny homes have become quite a prominent trend in today's housing situations. They can be eco-friendly, affordable, easy to maintain, and promote a slower lifestyle. Not to mention, living in a tiny home helps get rid of unwanted clutter and helps you stick to a minimalist way of thinking. There are many creative ways tiny homes have manifested. One of these ways being homes that resemble those from The Hobbit. Magic Green Homes is the creator behind hobbit houses that you can build yourself.

This adorable prefab is a 400-square-foot hobbit home that almost anyone can build in only three days. Okay, that may be using "build" a bit loosely. The manufacturer claims that you can construct the prefab shell of the home in three days. This is not counting any site work (foundation), interior finishing, or exterior planting. But even so, that's a very fast assembly time for any prefab―and even more amazing for an earth shelter.

What's an Earth Shelter?

Tiny homes have been quite the trend in the past few years, but traditional earth shelters have been around for centuries and are so named because they are built partially underground. They rely on soil and plants to protect the home from the elements and to help regulate the indoor temperature-naturally. However, buildings like these are very difficult to waterproof and offer few options for finishing the interior.

The Magical Hard Shell

Enter Green Magic Homes. It developed a modular home building system that modernizes the humble earth shelter using vaulted panels. The panels are made from a fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) and are designed to work in conjunction with Earth covering. The assembled structure is rated to hold 8 inches of soil and a live load of 44 inches per square foot. The additional load might be imposed by things like plants, snow, or people walking on the home.

Wicked-Fast Installation

So what makes these structures so easy and fast to assemble? Two words: perforated flaps. They make it a snap to attach and seal the vaulted panels together. A 400-square-foot module can be built in three days using three people with limited construction skills and no heavy equipment. Also, channels or ducts for plumbing and electrical runs can be added at any point during the assembly process.

These tiny dome-shaped homes can be adapted to suit different regions. They can also be personalized based on your housing needs. And future expansion is possible by adding more modules to an existing home.

Currently, Green Magic Homes has one distributor in the United States and its website has more information about costs and features, and you can view photos and renderings of these seemingly magical structures.

Getting Down to Earth

So, are there downsides to these seemingly magical hobbit homes? Of course there are, just as there are with any type of home construction. For starters, these structures seem to be suitable only for warm climates, at least without some additional insulation beyond an earth layer. The estimated R-value of soil is only about 0.125 to 0.25 per inch (at 20 percent moisture content). That means an 8-inch-thick soil cover provides no better than an R-value of 2, which is about as good as a single-pane window with a storm window.

Another consideration is cost: Green Magic estimates the "turnkey" cost of building one of their homes at $125 to $200 per square foot. This is excluding the foundation, which is a significant cost for any home. Turnkey means the home is built by professionals from the ground up and is move-in-ready at the end of the job. By comparison, the cost to build a conventionally framed and insulated home with the highest energy-efficiency standards is around $150 to $200 per square foot.

this is the part in the story when the hero (Bilbo) refuses the challenge or quest. The character is probably scared or not ready to take on the quest at hand.

“Sorry! I don't want any adventures, thank you. Not Today. Good morning! But please come to tea -any time you like! Why not tomorrow? Good bye!”

“At first they had passed through hobbit-lands, a wide respectable country inhabited by decent folk, with good roads, an inn or two, and now and then a dwarf or a farmer ambling by on business. Then they came to lands where people spoke strangely, and sang songs Bilbo had never heard before. Now they had gone far into the Lone-lands, where there were no people left, no inns, and the roads grew steadily worse.” (Tolkien 30)

An example of the Ordinary World in The Hobbit is when Bilbo said “And a very fine morning for a pipe of tobacco out of doors, into the bargain. If you have a pipe about you, sit down and have a fill of mine! There’s no hurry, we have all of the day before us!” Bilbo is clearly speaking from a place of comfort and leisure and even invites Gandalf to smoke with him. Another quote is when the author said “To the end of his days Bilbo could never remember how he found himself outside, without a hat, a walking-stick or any money, or anything he usually took when he went out;”(Tolkien).This quote talks about his usual routine and usual state of mind. Things that would be characteristic and ordinary for him .Another quote is “He wished again and again for his nice bright hobbit-hole. Not for the last time” Bilbo wishes for his safety and normal life.

Test:
- One example of a test or trial Bilbo has while on his journey is when his friends were captured by the spiders and he had to save them using rocks and sword. Another is when the Gollum challenges him to trivia testing his mental capability even though he technically cheated.
Allies:
- You could say that Bilbos’ allies were the dwarves but they were with him the entire time so a good ally was Beorn who they met in chapter 7. Beorn also considered the “bounty man” was very handy and could turn into a bear.
Enemies:
- The first enemies of Bilbo and the dwarves are the Goblins. Very ugly, nasty, and cruel creatures. The Goblins capture them in the 4th chapter while they were camping out in a cave during a storm.

Enemy: I choose the dragon because not only was it a dragon but it was a enemy that was really dangerous and could easily kill Bilbo " fact he was in grievous danger of coming under a dragon spell."

test: the test I Choose will be Bilbo breaking the dwarves out of jail. " It was discovered that there was a weak point in his plan." the reason why I choose this quote was because the test was how will he bounce back and fix the mistake he had in which he did he fixed it quick to get the dwarves out.

Allie: I Choose Gandalf because "I have chosen Mr. Baggins and that ought to be enough for all of you. If I say he is a Burglar, a Burglar he is, or will be when the time comes. There is a lot more in him than you guess, and a deal more than he has any idea of himself." I choose this quote because it shows how Gandalf was sticking his neck out for Bilbo

Bilbo encounters Smaug in the mountain and talks to him which is where he faces his fears. He snuck into the mountain wearing the ring making him invisible to Smaug. Bilbo stole some gold and Smaug was ferocious. He was almost killed at the end but he was able to escape.

“Thieves! Fire! Murder!”
“I kill where I wish and none dare resist. I laid low the warriors of old and their like is not in the world today.”
-Smaug

These quotes show the dangers that Bilbo entered into when he went into the mountain. Smaug had all the power to kill Bilbo but he was able to escape.

# data[].attributes.body
By Michael O’Boyle & Antonio Gurri

Here Bilbo encounters his greatest fear, Smaug, the dragon who guards the treasure. As Bilbo tries to sneak into his cave to spot the treasure, he wakes Smaug. Smaug, filled with anger and rage, bursts through the top of the mountain and burns everything in his path. The dragon flew to lake-town and began to burn the entire town. When all hope was lost, their captain, Bard, was told by an old thrush from the mountain to use the moonlight to spot Smaug’s missing scale. Using this, Bard used his last black arrow and shot for Smaug’s weakness and hit it. Smaug went down and the entire town cheered for him and wanted to make him king.

“It is almost dark so thats its vastness can only be dimly guessed, but rising from the near side of the rocky floor there is a great glow. The glow of Smaug!” (Pg. 198)

“The great bow twanged. The black arrow sped straight from the string, straight for the hollow by the left breast where the foreleg was flung wide. In it smote and vanished, barb, shaft and feather, so fierce was its flight. With a shriek that deafened men, felled trees and split stone, Smaug shot spouting into the air, turned over and crashed down from on high in ruins” (236).

The Ordeal is when Bilbo encounters Smaug and the Dwarves and him work together to take back Erebor. Bilbos ordeal is to sneak into the mountain and find some treasure and escape Smaug.
“‘What else do you suppose a burglar is to do?’ asked Bilbo angrily. ‘I was not engaged to kill dragons, that is warriors work, but to steal treasure. I made the best beginning I could.’”(210)
“‘Truly songs and tales fall utterly short of the of the reality, O Smaug the the Chiefest and Greatest of Calamities,’ replied Bilbo.”(212)
“Now a nasty suspicion began to grow in his mind- had the dwarves forgotten this important point too, or were they laughing in their sleeves at him all this time?”(215)

“Sorry! I don't want any adventures, thank you. Not Today." This shows that Bilbo is still in the ordinary world and is not ready for his journey yet.

Gandalf comes and offers Bilbo a place on the team for the journey, and he also defends him when the dwarves talk about him being a burden.

- “Very pretty!” said Gandalf. “But I have no time to blow smoke-rings this morning. I am looking for someone to share in an adventure that I am arranging, and it’s very difficult to find anyone.”

Bilbo told the dwarves before he went into the dragons cave and said “but anyway I think I will go and have a peep at once and get it over. Now who is coming with me”(Tolkien 195). The treasure was described as a “lay of countless piles of precious things, gold wrought and unwrought, gems and jewels, and silver red-stained in the ruddy light (Tolkien 201). In addition, the treasure was “where the walls were nearest could dimly be seen coats of mail, helms, and axes, filled with a wealth that could not be guessed (Tolkien 201). Bilbo takes a cup from Smaug’s treasure pile and Smaug's reaction was he was mad/angry and furious that his cup was stolen. Soon, Smaug looks around the mountain to hunt down the thief that took some of his treasure. Eventually, Smaug goes to lake town for his revenge at the end of the chapter.

“But really it’s a relief to me. How on earth should I have got all that treasure home without war and murder along the way, I don’t know. And I don’t know what I should have done with when I got home. I am sure it is better in your hands” (Tolkien, 266)

“It is a fact that Bilbo’s reputation went up a very great deal with the dwarves after this. If they had still doubted that he was really a first-class burglar, in spite of Gandalf’s words, they doubted no longer. Balin was the most puzzled of all; but everyone said it was a very clever bit of work. Indeed Bilbo was so pleased with their praise that he just chuckled inside and said nothing whatever about the ring” (Tolkien, 87).

“Then the dwarves bowed low before their gate, but words stuck in their throats. ‘Good-bye and good luck, wherever you fare!’ said Balin at last. ‘If you ever visit us again, when our halls are made fair once more, then the feast shall indeed be splendid!’” (Tolkien, 266)

Bilbo decides that he officially will go on the journey, thanks to the help of Gandalf. He wakes up and the dwarves are gone, but Gandalf tells him of their message. It said,…”shall await your respected person at the Green Dragon Inn, at 11 a.m. sharp”(Tolkien 28).
The mentor, Gandalf has gave him one last push out into the Special World. He then rushed to the Inn where the journey begins with the dwarves. He even forgot his pocket-handkerchief,”…could never remember how he found himself outside…”(Tolkien 28).

“That night Bilbo made up his mind. The sky was black and moonless. As soon as it was full dark, he went to a corner of an inner chamber just within the gate and drew from his bundle a rope, and also the Arkenstone wrapped in a rag”(Tolkien 245). We chose this quote because this is where Bilbo decides to go out of his way and put himself in danger to offer the Arkenstome as a bargaining piece to stop a mass war and save Thorin.

So they went on until they drew near to the borders of Mirkwood, to the north of the place where the Forest River ran out.” (Tolkien 132)

Some of the first allies that Bilbo and the dwarves came to find were the elves and Elrond that lived in the last homely house. “The master of the house was an Elf-friend” (51). The elves here accommodate the dwarfs for “fourteen days at least, and they found it hard to leave”(51). During their stay there Elrond successfully identified the names of the swords that they recovered from the trolls' cave and was able to tell the dwarves that “the setting sun with the last light of Durins’s day will shine upon the keyhole”(53).

One of the enemies that Bilbo and the dwarves come across were the wood-elves that they encountered while they were crossing through Mirkwood. All but Bilbo were captured by the wood-elves.”When the elves bound the dwarves in a long line, one behind the other and counted them, they never found or counted the hobbit.”(170). The dwarves are imprisoned in the elven fortress and Bilbo is forced to think of a way to free them. Bilbo eventually comes up with a plan after several weeks of hiding “After a week or two of this sneaking sort of life” (173) in the fortress and after finding the watergate at the bottommost part of the fortress. He steals the keys and sneaks the dwarves down to the trap doors before storing the dwarves in the barrels and sending them out onto the river.”At last the twelve dwarves were stored”(180).

-Gandalf praises Bilbo here, which also shows how Gandalf’s power and mentoring has a great effect on Bilbo

“Let’s have no more argument. I have chosen Mr. Baggins and that ought to be enough for all of you. If I say he is a Burglar, a Burglar he is, or will be when the time comes. There is a lot more in him than you guess, and a deal more than he has any idea of himself.”
-Gandalf is explaining to the dwarves to bring Bilbo along. He insists they take him for his word.

“What did I tell you?” said Gandalf laughing. “Mr. Baggins has more about him than you guess.” He gave Bilbo a queer look from under his bushy eyebrows, as he said this, and the hobbit wondered if he guessed at the part of his tale that he had left out.
-Gandalf knows that Bilbo is hiding something. Gandalf leads Bilbo as a mentor, though which guides Bilbo to being his best self.

Bilbo has many moments where he crosses the threshold in the book. The first example of this is in chapter 1.

“And here is our little Bilbo Baggins, the Burglar, the chosen and selected Burglar. So now let’s get on and make some plans.” (21)

A second example is in chapter 8.

“While he was picking up stones, the spider had reached Bombur, and soon he would have been dead. At that moment Bilbo threw. The stone struck the spider plunk on the head, and it dropped senseless off the tree, flop to the ground, with its legs curled up.” (146)

The first example shows how Bilbo has accepted the role of a Burglar on this adventure. The second example shows how he faces his fear of the spiders to save the dwarves.

One of the enemies that were in the journey were the Goblins. The goblins captured the company while they were in the Misty Mountains. The goblins took them down deep into the mountains, they treated the company with hatred.“They did not hate the dwarves especially, no more than they hated everybody and everything, and particularly the orderly and prosperous; in some parts wicked dwarves had even made alliances with them. But they had a special grudge against Thorin’s people, because of the war which you have heard mentioned, but which does not come into this tale; and anyway goblins don’t care who they catch, as long as it is done smart and secret, and the prisoners are not able to defend themselves.”(59) The goblins know who the company is, expect for Bilbo but that doesn’t matter, they all hate Thorin and anyone who is with them, and then they kill the goblin king which angers the goblins even more.

This makes the goblins mad with revenge. The company escapes from the goblins but that causes more trouble later the goblins chase the company all the way to Smaug and try to fight them for the treasure under the Lonely Mountain. This is a persistent enemy throughout the story and a constant threat for the company.

Bilbo is tested by Gandalf by uplifting and motivating him to go on the adventure. At first, Bilbo was very doubtful and unconfident but with the help of Gandalf, the adventure was completed. Bilbo's allies are the dwarves. The dwarves help Biblo steal from the Spiders. Bilbo's enemies are the goblins and dwarves.

Another quote is "...doing his best to appear wise and prudent and professional and live up to Gandalf's recommendation (Tolkien 26)." and "...and I should like to know how Gandalf got hold of it, and why did not come down to me, (Tolkien 29)." In these quotes Bilbo is basically asking for Gandalfs approval.
