Bilbo And Gandalf: An Analysis

Improved Essays
While Bilbo, Balin and Gandalf was talking about the happy things in life, Gandalf

and Gandalf got to the point why they came by to visit Bilbo. Actually they came because

they found out that someone stole the Arkenstone, and they need Bilbo's help to find out

who stole it, noir being a burglar this time. So they went on another journey, and this time

they still kinda got lost even though they went on that route before, maybe because they got

older so they forgot, so maybe its some other reasons, who knows? So this time they still

since there were like around 100 GULLS!!!!! He decided to ask if they can sit on them, and

they agreed, but Bilbo was really old so he said, "Am I too old for this? Because I might be

sick after this and I don't want to vomit on these nice Gulls." but actually that wasn't the

reason he doesn't want to sit on them, the real reason is because he loves cleanliness so he

doesn't want to sit on them, and they literally smell super bad, and the slime is their waste

(sweat). But at last he still reluctantly sat on them.
