The Hobbit

   I am on page 113 in the book The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien. Many exciting things have happened in this part of the book. Bilbo has gotten in many dangers.

    Bilbo woke up from being knocked out. He looked around and saw nothing but darkness. He heard silence. He was in the dark cave and nobody was around! Bilbo stands up and tries to find a way out. As he is walking he spots a ring on the floor of the cave. He picks it up and keeps walking.

    After wondering around for a long time Bilbo takes a rest. While he is resting he hears Gollum whining about losing a ring. Gollum notices Bilbo. Gollum  is a slimy creature that lives in the cave. Bilbo asks him to show him the way out, but Gollum says no! Gollum eats other creatures,  but Bilbo doesn't know that. Gollum says that he will show Bilbo the way out, if he answers some riddles. If Bilbo gets the riddles wrong, then Gollum will eat him! If Gollum gets one wrong, then he will show Bilbo the way out. They do riddles for a long time, and finally Bilbo wins! Gollum doesn't keep his promise and he starts to run at Bilbo to eat him anyway! Bilbo reaches into his pocket and pulls out the ring. Maybe there is something special about it. The ring makes Bilbo invisible!!!! Gollum runs around trying to find Bilbo. He thinks that Bilbo found a way out, so he goes to the way out! Bilbo follows him and leave and dark, dirty cave.

    Bilbo wonders around to try to find out where his friends are! What if they were captured by goblins?! Bilbo wonders around and finally finds his friends! He tells his story. Now the adventurers are off again!


   This part of the book is very interesting! A question that I have about his part of the story is how come Gollum was  so sad and by himself? When Bilbo saw him, he looked very lonely and was even talking to himself! I think that he might be lonely because of something that happened in the past. Maybe Gollum had something terrible happen to him in the past and now he is all by himself! A connection that I have about this part of the story is about Bilbo getting lost. After Bilbo got knocked out by falling on a rock, he didn't know where his friends were. When I was little I got kind of lost. I was in a store with my Mom, and she went to another isle. I thought that she went away, and I got afraid. I thought that she was gone forever! A couple minutes later my Mom found me and everything was okay again! I predict that Bilbo will meet Gollum again. I think this because in many other stories, one of the enemies comes back. I think that it might happen in this book, or even one of the other Lord of the Rings books. What will happen? Many things happened in this part of the book. I can't wait to see what happens next!
