The Hobbit-Personal Narrative

Improved Essays
Good evening Diary,

As I am writing to you, everyone is circling around the hobbit. They are all

extremely curious about his ability to turn invisible. “They had to have the whole

vanishing business carefully explained, and the finding of the ring interested them so

much that for a while they forgot their own troubles. Balin in particular insisted on having

Tomnoddy can’t spy me! Attercop! Attercop!” After some time, my cobweb was cut loose

and I was not prepared. I fell but was dragged and saved by the hobbit.

The other dwarves had quickly got cut loose from the cobwebs too. We had

fought them by throwing rocks at them. They were fairly easy to kill, but had quantity

disappeared into thin air. We were all confused and wanted some sort of explanation.

Somehow, Balin caught on, which got me wondering why I was not in on this. Like,

when were the hobbit and Balin that close? If anything, I believe that I am the one who

is closest to the hobbit. After all, we have our special chats when I carry him. At first, I

was angry that the dwarves made me carry him. I mean, just because I am fat does not

mean I am strong. Later on, I began to enjoy it. We share similarities such as our trait of

loving comfiness and food. He loves comfiness more than me, and I love food more

than him. Anyways, going back to earlier, he lured the spiders away and saved

Granted, I have small hands, but that spider was still large compared to all the other spiders I had encountered before.
