Mrs. Dupuy's Reading Room

Bilbo says that he is happy to be "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all." I agree with Bilbo. Being small in a big world would be fun. You would have endless possibilities. You would not be the center of attention, just a small person. I would be happy to live like this. I would not like being the center of attention, in a small world. Everyone watching your every move, asking you for advice. To me this is a very sad existence. You would get no alone time or down time. That is why I agree with Bilbo. It is better to be, "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all."
