Hello dear blog readers! I have recently read another portion of my "Literature circles" book, "The Hobbit", by J.R.R Tolkien. The action has really began heating up, as the group have now completed the "easier" part of their adventure, with of course some severe difficulties. This week, I was the discussion director, and my role was to lead a discussion about the book, and to ask five questions, and record other peoples answers. Unfortunately, due to a big misunderstanding, I did not have a chance to record anyone's opinions, so I only have my own. Please note that this blog post will be a little bit shorter than the others, as I simply do not have as much writing content as I needed to receive. So, here are the questions I asked, and my answers to them:
1. Do you think that Gandalf's move to leave the Dwarves in front of the perilous forest of Mirkwood was a just move? ANSWER: Yes, I think it was. After all, he (Gandalf) was never forced to lead the expedition to reclaim Erebor. So, it is in his hands to make all the choices and decisions because he is the ring-leader of the group.
2. Do you think that Biblo Baggins should have slain Gollum in the caves of the Misty Mountains? ANSWER: No, because it would later turn out that Gollum would be a key character in "The Lord of the Rings" series, as she would lead Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee into the dangerous land of Mordor were they would throw the One ring of power into the fires of mount doom, and would end all evil in Middle-Earth forever.
3. Would you have hosted the Dwarves after they arrived at Esgaroth (Lake-town)? ANSWER: No, I would have not. Simply accepting strangers into your home would not be an acceptable option, because they are un-characteristic travelers, that would only bring ill-tidings.
4. Would you have risked your life like Bilbo Baggins did in order to save the Dwarves from Thranduil's guards? ANSWER: Yes. If I had the ring that Biblo had, that would make me invisible, I definitely would have tried saving the Dwarves, because the risks are minimal if you are invisible, and so, the likeliness of saving the Dwarves would have been much higher than without the ring.
5. Overall impressions of this part of the book? ANSWER: Good. This part has definitely been more interesting and more action-packed than the first one, and I really enjoyed the book so far. I am definitely looking forward to the next part of the book, and the true climax.
Thank you for reading my post, and tune in for more!
