The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien
11/10/12
Pages 91-100
This section
begins with Bilbo walking away from the mountain where he escaped from Gollum
and Goblins. As he walks away from the
mountain he wonders if he should go back to look for the rest of the dwarves in
the mountain, but soon finds them at a campfire. They are all happy to see him, but are very
surprised that he had escaped from the goblins.
He told them how he managed to escape, but decided not to tell them
about the ring. As night began to fall,
they set out to continue their journey, but they were without food. As they walked through a forest, they started
to hear wolves. They ran and decided to
hide in trees.
“I brought him,
and I don’t bring things that are of no use.
Either you help me to look for him, or I go and leave you to get out of
the mess as best you can. If we can only
find him again, you will thank me before this is all over.” This quote said by Gandalf shows that he has
faith in not only his choice to bring Bilbo along, but also in Bilbo. In the previous section, we’ve seen that Bilbo
is capable of making good choices in a heartbeat and will be able to help the
team of dwarves immensely.
When the dwarves run from the
wolves they climb into trees. I can
relate to that, but only in the sense of climbing the tree, not running from
anything. Well, I probably shouldn’t say that because I may have used the tree
I used to climb all the time as a hiding spot for hide and seek when I was a
lot younger. The tree I’m talking about
is a very big tree, and used to be very good for climbing. I would always climb it with friends and
family, and it would be used for games like hide and go seek, and playing
things like army or something like that.
