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.
