I still don't get it, can you give me an example from the Hobbit book, thanks
an example of pivotal events
I haven't read a Hobbit book and I don't remember the one Hobbit movie I saw.
However, let's look at the word "pivot." When you're walking or running and suddenly turn around to face the other direction, you've pivotted.
What one event caused the Hobbit to completely turn around and do something different or realize something different? What happened to cause him to change? That would be the pivotal event.
Certainly! Here is an example from "The Hobbit" book by J.R.R. Tolkien:
"In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit."
To find examples from a book like "The Hobbit," you would typically need access to the actual book. You can find the book "The Hobbit" in various formats, such as a physical copy, e-book, or audiobook.
If you have a physical copy or e-book, you can open it to any page and search for quotations that illustrate a particular point or provide examples related to your topic of interest. In this case, it is the opening line which introduces the main character, Bilbo Baggins, and sets the tone for the story.
If you are using an e-book or digital copy, you can use the search feature to look for specific phrases, keywords, or character names to find additional examples.
If you prefer an audiobook, you can listen to the narration and take note of any notable quotes or passages that you find interesting or relevant to your question.
Remember to always cite the source properly when using quotations from books or any other literary work.
