This quote is significant because the narrator introduces hobbits as if we should know about them, or at least used to know about them. It also implies that the story has happened in our universe. I enjoy this quote because the narrator acts as if hobbits are a race lost in history.
"Indeed he was really relieved after all to think that they had all gone without him, and without bothering to wake him up" -Page 28 Bilbo shows immediate change in only a night's sleep as, the night before Bilbo seemed willing to go on an adventure. It is stated earlier that Bilbo enjoys maps and the map of the mountain being presented to Bilbo made him excited."Thorin and Company to Burglar Bilbo greeting! For your hospitality our sincerest thanks, and for your offer of professional assistance our grateful acceptance" -Page 29 This statement alone contradicts a large portion of what was said previously. One example of this is Bilbo believing the dwarfs were ungrateful and rude, never saying, "Thank you" or "Please" Also, Bilbo did not offer his skills, but was chosen by Gandalf, he is also not a professional burglar.
"but still he began to feel that adventures were not so bad after all" -Page 30 The adventure has just started, but. Bilbohas already started to change his mind about adventuring, even though nothing has happened yet. This quote shows how easily Bilbo will change his mind, as he went from hating the idea of adventuring, to liking it, back to hating it, and back to liking it as soon as the adventure started.
"Also he would have liked to have a few private words with these people that seemed to know his names and all about him, although he had never seen them before" -Page 48 It is odd that the people of Rivendell know about Bilbo yet none has ever met him, this means that Bilbo has some type of significance that not even he knows about
Great quotes Jaeden. They show youu have a deep understanding of the novel so far. Don't forget to be sure thepost itself is visually pleasing. (Spacing, visuals)
