The Hobbit Blog Assignment #1

At the end of the novel The Hobbit or There and Back Again, Gandalf is talking Bilbo and tells him,"You are a very fine person, Mr Baggins, and I am very fond of you;but you are only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all!" To this Bilbo responds by saying,"Thank goodness." I think Bilbo is saying this and is glad that he is only a small fellow in the wide world. I think Bilbo thinks this now because he now understands that he is not just small but also plays a small role in the scheme of life and is glad for this. I think he is glad for as small of a part as his role was it was still a huge task to him. I think this because any larger part in this scheme may have been way to much for him to handle. For me in this role I know that I would most likely want a larger role in the scheme of life to make me feel more important. I also would want this because good things may even become of it but I really have no control in this so it really doesn't make a difference to me for a larger part can also lead to problems such as Thorin, he had a larger role and he died with it. though Thorin died that doesn't mean that a large roles lead to death because for Gandalf also had a larger role and didn't die or get injured. So I think it all depends on your actions really and with that I believe we can make a roles in the scheme of life larger if we just take more action and trust what we are gonna do is right. I think I could handle a larger role but I have no idea on how much I could take. Lastly, I would want a larger role to be remembered by but if I wasn't to get a larger role then it wouldn't bother me to much
