I am on the page 70 in the book The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien This book is SO good! I love it so far! Many adventurous things have happened to Bilbo Baggins.
Gandalf and the dwarves were looking at the map and talking about adventures. They were talking about a dragon that took over the dwarves' house a long time ago and know sleeps every night on the gold that was in the house. The dwarves and Gandalf are going to take down the dragon and receive the gold that is rightfully theirs.
Bilbo somehow ends up going with them. Maybe an adventure won't be so bad. The dwarves, Gandalf, and Bilbo go off the next morning on their way to defeat a dragon (hopefully!).
While the adventurers are on their quest, they realize that Gandalf is not with them. Where is he?! They don't think about it much more and keep walking. He will show up some time.
The dwarves and Bilbo are walking and see a light further off in the woods. They might have more food they thought, but what if the people (or things) in the woods aren't nice at all? The dwarves send Bilbo in to investigate. Bilbo walks up to where the light was coming from and finds that the things at the light are not the kind of things that you'd want to talk to. They are trolls! Trolls are ugly, dumb creatures that....well...eat other creatures (like dwarves and hobbits!). Bilbo thinks about turning back, but he can't go back empty handed to the dwarves! Bilbo tries to steal one of the troll's bags, but he doesn't succeed! He is caught red-handed by the trolls. Just as he is caught, the dwarves walk up and they get caught as well. Could things get any worse for the adventurers? Suddenly, Gandalf appears (he apparently wasn't with the others earlier because he wanted to see what was ahead) and makes the trolls turn to stone!
A connection that I have in this book is about Bilbo. When he sees the trolls ,instead of going back to the dwarves to safety, he stays and tries to steal the troll's bag. This is kind of like what I might do. Instead of doing what I know is safer or right, I do what is wrong.
A question that I have in this story is how come in many stories people disappear or go away right when you need them most and them show up at the least possible moment? This is like when Gandalf goes away right before he is needed most of all, but then turns up and rescues to others from the trolls. I think a lot of books are like this because it builds suspense. It makes you wonder if the hero will get there in time.
I predict that the adventurers will get caught in another bad situation. I think this because in a lot of books there are many problems and difficulties! I can't wait to see what happens next in this book!
