The novel, The Hobbit is about the adventures and journeys of a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins.
R Tolkien, writes the story with great evidence that it is nothing shy of an adventure/fantasy. The book, with no doubt, can be classified as an adventure/fantasy. This is because of the way the author provides the readers with a non stop, adventurous plot with incidents that are so "genre like" that anything more would be considered "Super fantasy". The Hobbit is like other storys in the same genre in a few ways. However, there are differences that would not disclude it from being put in the same category as the other books, but differences that are simply things that other fantasy/adventure titles fail to include in their stories. The Hobbit is a natural fantacy/adventure and includes all the same characteristics of that required to be classified as one. The hobbit even proceeds to exceed this certain requirement with events that surpass any other novel in its class with astonishing story events and occurrences. This story would be expected ordinarily to be promoted in the most positive way because of its great plot and story line.
Brought to life by the author's strong and astonishing story line, Bilbo travels and embarks on adventures, in which he finds out the hard way that he has to learn to rely on his own abilities, and that intelligence and knowledge are the key to his survival and goal. Taking into consideration that Bilbo did not set out on his journey by choice, he is unfamiliar with the methods of excellence and perfection needed to have a successful journey. Eventually, Bilbo gains enough confidence as a leader and a hero after he kills a spider. The novel is narrated in third person, in which it allows the author to be creative in the ways the story is presented, considering most novels are not narrated in third person. This is part of what makes the story incredible, the ways the author shaped the story to give it an "authentic" feeling while reading.
