At the end of the book, Bilbo Baggins seemed pleased when Gandalf told him he was only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all. I wouldn't neccesarily be pleased by that statement. I, like others that have wrote about this topic, do not like the idea of being a little fellow in a wide world. Although, a nice, pleasant, and quiet life would not go unnoticed or unappreciated by me. However, I wouldn't be able to stay in one place and live a plain life.
In my opinion, you wouldn't be able to grow as a person. Experiencing new things, learning from our mistakes, helps us grow as we get older, and how can you do those things with the same routine everyday? In my opinion, you can't. The only thing I would learn from being in a hole all day, everyday, is that it gets boring quick.
I would want to go out and learn from my mistakes, experience new things, and being a teenager, want to push my limits. That seems natural, judging by what everyone else has posted. I don't think the idea of being a small fellow in a wide world appeals to most people. I know I wouldn't want to be quite a small fellow in a wide world.
