The Hobbit Prediction Piece


In J. R. R. Tolkien’s book, The Hobbit, Bilbo is a tiny little guy who lives in a hole on a hill.  Gandalf believes that Bilbo is a master thief and he can steal treasure from a dragon. 


Bilbo was a peaceful hobbit, who was comfortable in his hole on the hill.  He was smoking outside, doing his daily stuff, when Gandalf came by and told Bilbo that he needed him.  Like any other person would do, Bilbo rejected Gandalf’s request and sent him off.

Gandalf would not take the answer no and put a mark on Bilbo’s door.  The next day, in 1 hour, 12 dwarves and Gandalf are sitting at Bilbo’s table, eating his cake and drinking his tea.  Bilbo knows that to get these people out of his life, that he needs to go on this quest, he still has no idea what he’s going to do.

Bilbo goes on the quest and faces many monsters and creatures, like one time, he faced three trolls that were 5 times the size of him, and he had to pickpocket the trolls.  That didn’t work out so well.  Gandalf had to intervene and stall because trolls are petrified when exposed to sunlight.  The dwarves like to sing too, which drives Bilbo crazy.


I think that Bilbo will be a master thief at the end of the book and that he will be honored for finding the Fellowship of the Ring and getting past the dragon who guards the treasure.  Of course Bilbo faced other challenges and had to be ready to steal the ring.
