When Bilbo says that he's happy to be "only quite a little fellow in a wide world after all", I think I know what he means. I think that he means it pleases him to just be a small part in the grand scheme of things. That-like Gandolf said-all his adventures and escapes were not managed by luck, or for Bilbo's sole gain.He is content with his small role in life. Though personally,I wouldn't be. I want to make a difference for the better. I want to make an impact on the world. You see, Bilbo has excepted ,and is happy with the fact that he is not really a key player. But me, I haven't. I want to be a key player. I want to help people, to just be the reason that the world is a better place(at all).But if that's not God's plan for me I guess there really isn't much I could do. So,back to the second part of the question. I could be happy as a nobody. But I want to be somebody someday and think I would be much happier that way.

I'm kinda bad with computers and typing so this took me forever to figure out how to post even with the instructions.
ReplyDeleteBlaire, I completely agree, and I thought that you stated your opinions in a very simply put and forthright manner. Well done!
ReplyDeleteYou took the words right out of my mouth! I loved your closing sentences "I could be happy as a nobody. But I want to be a somebody someday and think I would be much happier that way."I thought you explained how you felt about the topic in a very creative way! Great job!
