In The Hobbit, author J. R. R. Tolkien tells the story of Bilbo Baggins, who is an unlikely hero. Bilbo is a hobbit who does not care for adventure until he is tricked into going on one by the wizard Gandalf and a band of thirteen dwarves. Gandalf says that Bilbo is a burglar and can help the dwarves as they try to get back the treasure that was stolen from them long ago by the dragon named Smaug. The dwarves don’t really believe it, but Bilbo goes with them anyway. As they travel into other lands, he becomes more Took, or adventurous like his mother, than Baggins like his father. He joins in the adventure, even though he does think about his home now and then. He faces many dangers on the way and helps to save the dwarves more than once from trolls, goblins, and other creatures. In several instances in the story, Bilbo shows himself to actually be a useful burglar. When he tries to steal from the pocket of a troll, he sets off events that lead to trouble but also to a key that the dwarves need to get inside a cave. As a result, the travelers also find food to replace what they had lost earlier in the journey. Later, he finds and keeps a ring that makes him invisible. Tolkien writes that "It was a turning point in his career, but he did not know it." Instead of giving the ring back to Gollum, the creature that had lost it, Bilbo keeps it and uses it throughout the adventure to keep it safe. At times, he is surprised by his own actions. Using the ring and a dagger he had taken from a troll camp, he frees himself and rescues the dwarves from spiders. Afterward, "Bilbo began to feel there really was something of a bold adventurer about himself, all, though he would have felt a lot bolder still if there had been anything to eat."

kennedy creates personal credibility by saying he is more than fit to lead. he talks about the sixty day period that he constructed administration, and says based on that he will be an acceptable leader.

explanation:

wordsworth tends to see nature as 'out there'; a presence which surrounds humans, and contributes to human life, but is different from humans. if you look at a typical wordsworth poem (there was a boy, ye knew him well ye rocks) - wordsworth talks about nature as something that needs to be learned about and understood, nature is different from us.  

if you look at a byron poem (the isles of greece is a good one) - byron looks at nature mainly for what it already means to man. wordsworth will look at a landscape and see the mountains, trees, valleys, and rivers as almost spiritual presences - wordsworth wants to get to know nature.  

byron will look at the same landscape and he will want to know who lives there, what are the villages? are there any farms or mines, is there some history?  

wordsworth looks at nature for what it is; byron is forever asking what it means.  

wordsworth thinks that humans are part of nature; byron thinks that nature is part of being human
