Unexpected Heroes


Bilbo Baggins is a perfect example of a nobody that became a hero. Bilbo was a smalltime hobbit from the shire and just wanted to be left alone so he could enjoy his simple life. But, Bilbo becomes a hero when he agrees to be a “burglar” and to go on an adventure with Gandalf and the dwarves. Throughout the adventure to Lonely Mountain, Bilbo acquires a powerful ring of invisibility, which helps him to become a hero by saving the dwarves from danger on more than one occasion.




Katniss Everdeen is another example of a hero who was once a nobody. Prior to replacing her sister in the hunger games, Katniss was just a normal girl living in District 12. She uses her remarkable archery skills to win the hunger games and restore her freedom. Katniss serves as hero to her hometown, District 12.
