How would you describe a hobbit's way of life?

Answer 1

Hobbits are little people, about half the size of a full grown man. They live in small houses (holes) with round doors. Hobbits have curly hair (usually brown) on their heads and the tops of their feet. They rarely wear shoes, although they do quite a bit of road-walking. Hobbits tend to dress in bright colours, chiefly yellow and green. They are a most hardy folk who love to eat. They also are particularly skilled at the brewing of ale and the growing (and smoking, of course) of pipeweed. As Bilbo Baggins would say, "But where our hearts truly lie is in peace..." The main hobbits in "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" are Bilbo Baggins, his young cousin Frodo Baggins, Frodo's servant and loyal friend Samwise "Sam" Gamgee, and Frodo's two friends, Meriadoc "Merry" Brandybuck and Peregrin "Pippin" Took.

Answer 2

They live in snug Hobbit holes (preferably with a full larder) and take special pleasure in eating. Their meals include: breakfast, second breakfast, luncheon, afternoon tea, dinner, and supper with many snacks in between. Most take special pleasure in growing things. (Especially young Sam Gamgee who is the Baggins' gardener at Bag End.) They often smoke from a wooden pipe. They most often smoke pipe weed and it is commonly said that the South Farthing's pipe weed is the best weed in the Shire. They like to drink a lot and the most popular bar in the Shire is the Green Dragon where Hobbits like to drink and dance and just be hobbits after a hard day's work. They usually detest adventure, but Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, Samwise (Sam) Gamgee, Meriadoc (Merry) Brandybuck, and Peregrin (Pippin) Took are noble exceptions. (Read about them all in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings to hear their stories and more about Hobbits.)

Their hair is usually thick, curly, and comes most often in shades of brown and blonde. They never wear shoes because they have developed thick leathery soles and hairy feet. They like their clothes to be in bright and earthy colors. (Their favorites being Green and Yellow.)

They are very short (Their average height being 3 foot 6.) and prefer to be large in the stomach.

Naps and hot baths are two other things that Hobbits greatly enjoy.

For more detailed information on all of these things read Concerning Hobbits in the beginning of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.
