Bilbo Baggins, the ever-so-proper member of the Hobbit community, imagined himself to be the last person in the Shire who would accept an invitation to an adventure. Yet accept it he did, and as he set out with his comrades, he entered onto a path that would turn him into a hero. Leaving his sheltered life presented him with opportunities to test his character and try his values, but these opportunities came at the peril of his own life, and the lives of others.

Bilbo's journey is one of personal growth, and the discovery of hidden talents within himself. In considering the following questions, we can come to appreciate the changes Bilbo experiences, and what effect those changes had on Bilbo and those around him. These questions are only a starting point, please feel free to introduce your own thoughts and questions!

Why did Gandalph insist that Bilbo was the right person hobbit, for the job of burgler? What talents did Bilbo possess already that he may never have used in the Shire?
What do you believe was the worst trial for Bilbo? What trial do you think changed Bilbo the most?
What values do you think Bilbo holds dear, and did those values change from the beginning to the end?
Does Bilbo have any negative (for lack of a better word! biggrin.gif) personality traits? Do those change?
