the hobbit(part 8)

I am on page 292 in The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien. Their adventure is almost over!! It's so exciting!!!!!!!! THE HOBBIT IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Lonely Mountain

The adventurers got to the mountain! They had heard off a hidden door. They go off looking for it hoping to find it so that they can get inside and see if the dragon is still there. They find a secret door after days of looking, but they can't seem to open it! They try everything. From trying to bust it open to sliding it, but they can't get it open. Will their adventure end right there???? Thorin remembers that Gandalf gave him a key at the beginning of their journey. Will it work??? They try it and it does!! Now they wonder what is inside!

Smaug's treasure

They sleep near the opening of the door. Then they decide to get Bilbo to put on his ring and go investigate. He goes and finds the dragon sleeping on TONS of gold and treasure. The treasure makes Bilbo freeze. There is sooooooooooooo much of it! Suddenly, the dragon opens his eyes! Bilbo stays put thinking that the dragon won't see him sense he is wearing his magic ring. The dragon could hear him and feel him walk. The dragon started to talk to him. He started telling him that he shouldn't trust the dwarves, and also that apparently the dragon ate all of their horses!!! Bilbo is terribly scared, but he keeps his ground. The dragon was about to eat him, and Bilbo escaped just in time.

When he gets back to his friends, they ask him how it went. He tells them. How are they going to kill the dragon?! While Bilbo and him were having their little talk, Bilbo noticed that his scales were very hard. He also noticed that there was a place on the dragon's left side of his chest. Right by his heart! Now they know where to kill him, but they don't know how to get close enough! That night Bilbo told the others that the should move places. The dragon might have realized where they were staying. Just after they leave, the dragon smashes the mountain! Bilbo saved them just in time!

They all hide in a tunnel. They see the dragon fly up and leave the mountain! Now what should they do??? The gold is theirs(or at least until the dragon comes back!)

A question that I have for this part of the story is Will the adventurers end up with the treasure? I think that they might end up to have none of the gold. I think that the end of the book will have them learn a lesson or something like that. This happens in a lot of movies and books.

Smaug flying away

A connection that I have for this part of the story has to do with when the dragon leaves. When he leaves, the adventurers don't know what to do! This is like how a lot of times people say something to me, and I don't know what to do. I don't know what to say! I hate this so much, and I bet that Bilbo and the others felt similar.

I predict that the adventurers will have a lot of wars after this book. I think that because they could have so much gold. Other people would be beyond jealous. When Bilbo gets back to his house, he might be really rich. His friends would be amazed! He used to never go on adventures, and now that he did he comes back rich. I also think that all off his friends will start to go on adventures.
