In chapter 1, Tolkien explains that a hobbit is like a human but alot smaller, probably half the size, and are very hairy. Most hobbits live underground with windows on only one side of their house. Although living underground sounds quiet uncomfortable, their homes were actually quiet relaxing.
The main character in "The Hobbit" is Bilbo. When the book begins, he is outside his house taking a smoke when a wizzard named Gandolf shows up. The wizzard asks Bilbo if he wants to go on an adventure. He says no but offers him to come over to drink tea if he ever wants to. The next day, the door bell rings. Obviously, he asumes it would be Gandolf but instead its a dwarf who comes in his house to eat. Progressively, dwarfs show up every few minutes and when about 15 dwarfs are in Bilbo's home, Gandolf shows up and finally convinces Bilbo to go on the adventure which all the other dwarfs go on as well.
In chapter 2, Bilbo is eating breakfast the next day when Gandolf barges right in and disrupts telling him he needs to go to an inn where the other dwarfs are waiting for him to start the journey. By the start of dusk after they head off for there trip, it starts to rain and they decide to camp out. Afterwords, they see a fire in the distance along with 3 trolls. Bilbo tries to snatch one of their purses but doesn't get away with it. After this the trolls get in a big fight and the three trolls tie all of them up except for Bilbo.
When Gandolf mentions the adventure, Bilbo desperatly does not want to be involved. Bilbo is also very mad about how he invites all the dwarves and how he just barges into his house the next day. Although this is true, he does eventually go on the adventure. In my opinion, I think that Gandalf takes stuff way to literally. I also don't understand how gandolf does'nt just ask someone he knows to go on the adventure rather than Bilbo who doesn't even know him.
