"You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing you think you cannot do," said Eleanor Roosevelt, first lady to former US president Franklin D. Roosevelt. Here, Mrs. Roosevelt's words denote that heroes grow into more fearless, courageous characters by tackling their fears and struggling with their doubts. In the same way, Bilbo Baggins, the main character in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, grows from an average, timid hobbit into a loyal comrade who stands by his friends, the dwarves, on their dangerous journey. Setting out across Middle Earth, Bilbo and Thorin Oakenshield's party of dwarves journey to retrieve the treasure that Smaug, a ruthless dragon, once plundered from the dwarves centuries ago. As the road brings challenges more complicated than Bilbo expects, the hobbit comes face-to-face with several of Middle-Earth's fiercest foes and undergoes audacity-demanding trials, such as confronting Smaug alone. Although hardships tempt him many times to abandon the dwarves, Bilbo faithfully bears the same burdens with them to the end and remains a loyal friend. Likewise, Meg Murry, the protagonist in A Wrinkle in Time, does not allow any fear or foe restrain her from reuniting with her long-lost father and rescuing Charles Wallace, her baby brother. Despite her fear of the dreaded brain "IT," Meg's willing spirit to challenge the enemy and her tenacious character define her as a hero. Furthermore, Meg refuses to let anything harm her most loved ones and perseveres through much adversity to save her precious family from evil. Although situated in different settings, both Bilbo and Meg reflect traits of bravery by facing an enemy, fighting for friends, and pushing forward amid danger.

The proximity of the Earth to the intelligent response's source was shocking, as if an intelligent species lived as a neighbor to the humans, but there were a lot of flaws with the measurement, including radio signals from nearby, a phone being used while the measurement took place, and a huge war battle about 100 miles away that was disturbing all connections, not including the many other factors, including bird poop, which had been a huge problem for a good while, especially now that there were thousands of birds that were released from captivity, which happened because many of the zoos were raided during the war (there were 70 zoos nearby), and of course, the other satellites' reverberating interference caused by the war once again, as countries were trying to fight with satellites to destroy each others' connection, as no country wanted the other to gain satellite superiority and win the war, but in spite of these problems, Sam found a way to neutralize all the effects of those by using a sound overlay remover program, and he concluded, his jaws dropping wide down after discovering that it was a group of aliens trying to land on Earth in a few hundred years, like the aliens were carrying a seedship, but Sam made sure not to look too surprised because the government, which was becoming increasingly tyrannical, could steal his data if his friend, who was currently playing a beautiful Sonata in C Major by Mozart, heard him and reported him to the government.

Longest sentence in the world is a long ways off. Read the first sentence of chapter 18 in Ulysses if you don't believe me. I was going to post it here, but then I realized that there was a 60 line segment that I would have had to censor less than a quarter of the way through, and I didn't want to try and censor the whole thing.
EDIT: there was no hyperbole in the above statement.
Also, you need to remember that length is not quality. Take this beautiful sentence I wrote a few months ago:

"Naturally, pelting shoplifters with morality muffins while dressed as a Jani Lane has lead to some confusion with the authorities, but aside from this, I feel as though the whole vigilante thing has gone quite swimmingly."

It does have some length to it, but its strength is in the words themselves. Note the alliteration (morality muffins), the clever use of irony (the use of the word "naturally" before describing an event that would never lead to any confusion with the authorities), and, of course, the vivid imagery.
