The+Hobbit+-+Week+4

The Crutch of Invisibility.  Throughout The Hobbit Bilbo performs brave and sometimes foolhardy actions, often after becoming invisible via the magic ring. Do you think Bilbo's use of the ring was necessary in every case? Whom do you admire more, the person who wields a powerful object or the person who cultivates his natural gifts? Which of Bilbo's interventions struck you as particularly heroic? Which did you find disturbing? Is Bilbo responsible for Smaug's murderous rampage? **Write your thoughts as an essay that answers all these questions.**
