For this first entry I read 32 pages. One text to world quote that I found relatable was "What on earth did I ask him to tea for". This quote is in reference to Bilbo Baggins accidentally being too nice. Everybody has been caught in this situation. 


Three examples of figurative language I found are "the hobbit turned and scuttled inside his round green door" page 8 (imagery), "It was a dwarf with a blue beard tucked into a golden belt" page 8 (imagery), "...two beautiful round seed-cakes..." page 9 (imagery). 

These first 26 pages that I read were used to introduce new characters and give some background about them. The first main event that happens is Bilbo's first interaction with Gandalf. He and Gandalf begin reminiscing about old times. Bilbo then (without thinking) offers him to tea the next day. When that day arrives Gandalf brings many dwarves over too.

I believe that the next part of the story will continue to give background information. More character introduction is possible also.

The first character I will analyze is Bilbo. On page 8  he states " "What on earth did I ask him to tea for" page 8. Just from this quote alone we can tell that Bilbo is a very kind person. He often speaks without thinking and I can imagine that this will get him into trouble in the future.]]> 2021-01-22 17:14:34 UTC https://padlet.com/wyracine23/gu5yf33ayjykhtf5/wish/1114987586 wyracine23 https://padlet.com/wyracine23/gu5yf33ayjykhtf5/wish/1115193456 1-24-2021
For this entry I read another 25 pages. One text to world quote that I found relatable was, "They did not sing or tell stories that day... They had begun to feel that danger was not far away on either side." I found this quote relatable because it remind me of the anxiety leading up to big events such has a concert.

Three examples of figurative language I found are, "They saw that the great mountains had marched down very near to them" page 43 (this is a good example of personification because marching is a human quality given to a mountain range). Another example I found was "They saw a valley far below. They could hear the voice of hurrying water in a rocky bed at the bottom" page 45 (this is an example of imagery. This descriptive language helps us imagine the scenery). The final example I found was "Blue sky and never a cloud, and the sun dancing in the water" page 51 (imagery".

Pages 32-57 start off with the group carrying on there journey. They are faced with a group of trolls who try to eat them. Bilbo saves them and they continue on their journey. They have finally come across the first set of mountains which point towards their goal. They next stumble upon a cave for refuge. In the middle of the night they are kidnapped by goblins and taken to the great goblin.

What I believe will happen next is a big fight. They will all need to work together to escape. I would not be surprised if a character were to die here as this is a big turning point in their adventure. Hopefully they will escape these caves.

For this section I will analyze Gandalf. On page 44 he says, "...also it is very necessary to tackle the Misty Mountains by the proper path, or else you will get lost in them, and have to come back and start at the beginning again" and then thinks to himself "if you ever get back at all". This shows that he is not a very careful and fully planed out type of person. He is trying to make the trip sound less dangerous than it is.]]> 2021-01-22 17:57:45 UTC https://padlet.com/wyracine23/gu5yf33ayjykhtf5/wish/1115193456 wyracine23 https://padlet.com/wyracine23/gu5yf33ayjykhtf5/wish/1115194898 1-29-2021
For this entry I read 48 pages. On page 63 I found the quote, "Why, O why did I ever leave my hobbit-hole!". This relates to my life because sometimes I find myself in situations where I wish I never left my house.

Three examples of figurative language I found are, "It was lit by great red fire in the middle." page 58 (imagery, this gives us a visual of the caves innards). Another example I found was, "Out of the frying pan and into the Fire". Page 100 (this is an idiom. This is an idiom because they are not literally talking about frying pans and fire). I could only find 2 examples of figurative language in these 48 pages.

Bilbo regains consciousness in a long since forgotten cave inhabited by a murderous creature. Bilbo stumbles upon a ring and picks it up without thinking. He meets this creature amid its panic looking for its "precious". The creature confronts him about the lost item and they begin a riddle competition the winner gets what they want. Bilbo wins and the creature is enraged. Bilbo slips on the ring and goes invisible. The creature leads him to the exit accidentally. Next Bilbo meets up with the rest of his team and they begin to escape the area. Gandalf begins to prepare for what he believes is going to be the fight that ends his life. The fight begins and they are rescued by the lord of eagles and his crew of large birds.

What I believe is going to happen next is that they continue their journey. Because we were left off at the resolution of the first big problem leaving us very little to guess about. They will most likely go to another town or civilization. I do not believe any conflict will come immediately so our characters should be safe.
         
This chapter I will analyze Thorin Oakenshield. Thorin is like most Dwarves, stubborn, proud, and greedy. An example of what type of person he is, is when the group is tasked with the challenge of finding (or leaving) Bilbo who at the time was trapped in a cave. On page 86 he states, "Good heavens! Can you ask! Goblins fighting and biting in the dark, everybody falling over bodies..." this was his excuse as to why he did not rescue Bilbo. He did not want to admit his lack of care for Bilbo so he blamed it on his surroundings.]]> 2021-01-22 17:58:04 UTC https://padlet.com/wyracine23/gu5yf33ayjykhtf5/wish/1115194898
