Explanation:

"The Hobbit" by J R R Tolkien is a fantasy story about the journey of a group of dwarves along with a hobbit and a wizard, on a quest to overcome the evil that has overtaken their land.

When Bilbo Baggins was selected by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, the leader and heir to the dwarves' kingdom, Thorin of Oakenshield at first questioned the involvement of Bilbo. He doesn't seem like a fighter or even a strong one, let alone a burglar. But Gandalf insisted on his choice to include Bilbo, saying that he had a lot more in him than is visible now. The differing opinions of Gandalf and Thorin about the hobbit shows that Gandalf knows Bilbo had a hidden strength that will be seen at the right time while Thorin questions the inclusion of this weakling on a quest to defeat a dragon.

the civil war was the bloodiest conflict in the history of the united states. more than 600,000 soldiers lost their lives. the fighting took place in many different cities and throughout the countryside. the wounded often suffered acute pain while in the field hospitals. they all should have asked for better care. william hammond, the surgeon general of the union army, created a new system of sanitary field care. if people do not accept hammond as the most important person from the civil war, they have no understanding of the war.
