The hero, hearing the call to adventure, initially may hesitate, reluctant to leave the comfort and tasks of their everyday existence.
Perhaps they are afraid of what might happen the them. Perhaps they do not see the call as important, being more engrossed in their current activity. Perhaps they have responsibilities and do not want to leave their family.
Does our hero (Bilbo) initially refuse the call to adventure? If so, what motivates the refusal?

OK, well I think that Bilbo did refuse the call at 1st he went to bed deciding right then that he was NOT going to get up and make breakfast and wasn't going to go on thier quest!! But then he was kinda pushed out by Gandalf and he sorta started to accept the fact that hey, he was going on an adventure! oh and he probably didn't leave his home and comfort and everything he knew to go on a life threatening adventure!
