In the book The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien I thought
the theme of always working together was very important. I also agree that in
real life it is teamwork that makes a person who he or she is.
Throughout the book Bilbo and his friends all face many
troubles. When Thorin was captured by the spider demon, Bilbo and the other
dwarves went to save him. Teamwork is what allowed them to save Thorin and
defeat the demon. While some dwarves were holding the net the others were
stabilizing the bridge, so their leader could make it back safely. If the
bridge wasn’t being held up then I am pretty sure everybody would have died
right there on the spot.
I can also connect teamwork to real-world connections.
People may think teamwork is just a way to get things completed in shorter
amounts of time, but it is more than that. Teamwork is very special because if
the cooperation of one person or thing can really make a difference. If there
was no teamwork in the world then the world will start collapsing one by one
with the domino effect. People will continue to become independent and wouldn’t
need anybody in their lives. When I was back in Kindergarten and 1st
grade I had HORRIBLE English. Thanks to the “teamwork” of my friends and
teacher I speak English much more fluently than my own language, and one day I
will probably be fluent with my own language.
Therefore, teamwork is a very big deal. Without it life
wouldn’t be right and Bilbo expresses that in The Hobbit by protecting his friends.
I very much agree with you Krishna. This is very insightful of you, when I read this book I did not even realize this, but now that you mention this I realize that it is very true. If the dwarfs and Bilbo had not stuck together they never would have made it. I think also that because they are all kind of friends, that this friendship is what made them stick together, so that this is what saved them.
