The Hobbit: Tests, Enemies and Allies

Question: How did facing the tests, enemies and allies change Bilbo's perspective on his life?

Answer: The tests, enemies and allies changed Bilbo's perspective on his life in many ways. Firstly, facing some of the tests and enemies made Bilbo realize how dangerous the world could really be. He was born and raised in the Shire; a very sheltered area of the world, and until he started his adventure he was completely unaware of the perils of the outside world.
Another way Bilbo's perspective on life changed was that he realized how much in his life he had taken for granted. He was well off, he had a comfortable, safe and relatively normal life, and he didn't realize how fortunate he was to have all of that until it was gone.
Another thing that Bilbo learned from the tests, enemies and allies was that there was a lot more to the world than the Shire. There were so many opportunities for adventure, all he had to do was take them.

  2. You did a good job making up a question and actually answering it! But were there any positive outcomes of the tests, allies, and enemies? The last point was positive but at the same time negative, depending on Bilbo's personality. It was very concise though, good job.
