How did Bilbo help the dwarves?
Bilbo deliberately taunts the spiders by singing rude songs at them mocking them. His plan works very well and he doubles back to the Dwarves, killing the guard spider and freeing them and they fight their way free until the Spiders give up the chase and leave them alone.
What heroic things did Bilbo do?
There are of course some components for heroism that Bilbo possesses: he has a sword that he names Sting, a symbol of power and strength, he acquires armour and is finally brave when he walks into Smaug’s lair. Rebirth is an important theme in the novel.
What did Bilbo save the dwarves from?

What is good Bilbo?
Like most hobbits, Bilbo is fond of the comforts of home and hearth: He loves good, simple food in abundance, and he loves his pipe and well-furnished hobbit-hole. Bilbo is called upon to do more than he imagines himself capable of.

How does luck help Bilbo?

How does Bilbo save Thorin?
Bilbo throws stones to scare spiders off and uses his sword to free the dwarves.

What makes Bilbo special?
Bilbo has courage, ingenuity, and a good heart—he also has a magic ring that turns him invisible. When the book begins, Bilbo does not appear to have many special skills. Bilbo goes right up to the trolls, even though he is scared, because it is his job. He tries to trick the trolls when he gets caught.
What does Bilbo say to the Dwarves after the Battle?
After the Battle of the Five Armies, just as Bilbo is leaving the mountain, he turns to the dwarves and says: “If ever you are passing my way,” said Bilbo, “don’t wait to knock! Tea is at four; but any of you are welcome at any time!”
Why are Bilbo Baggins heroic deeds so remarkable?
Bilbo’s heroic deeds are all the more remarkable because they fail to change him. He discovers capabilities that had been unknown to him, but he does not become arrogant or relinquish his values. In his final conversation with Bilbo, Thorin acknowledges the value of the simple lives of hobbits, even in a world marked by grim heroism and danger.
What did Bilbo lose more than spoons?
First, we’ve got this: Indeed Bilbo found he had lost more than spoons—he had lost his reputation. It is true that for ever after he remained an elf-friend, and had the honour of dwarves, wizards, and all such folk as ever passed that way; but he was no longer quite respectable.
