Week 3 PP (Passage Picker)

Week 3 

1 Pg 219

"Everyone worm has his weak spot"

I chose this passage because it help explain what else Bilbo decides to do once he goes to the lair of Smaug. I also find this passage very interesting because Bilbo rarely talks about his parents or his grandfather took.It also made think very differently of Bilbo instead of being scared to do it like before he is now willing to adventure into the lair at the cost of his own life.i find this significant to the story because it describes Bilbo's dad isn't just a normal hobbit but he had knowledge too and also it shows Bilbo was actually thinking if they were going to fight the thing they had to find its weakness.

2 Pg 249

"Black Arrow! I have saved you till last you have never failed me and always i have recovered you.i had you from my father  and he from old.If you ever came from the forges of the true king under the mountain,go now and speed well." 

I Chose this passage because it describes the arrow used to kill the mighty terrifying dragon smaug.

It also describes the arrows history and how much and lucky the arrow is that it came to kill smaug.

i find it very significant because if it was just a normal wood arrow with a steel tip it would just lose the hype i found that the black arrow just created just by reading a bit of its history.

3 Pg 204

"They were alone in the perilous waste without hope of further help. They were at the end of their journey but as far as ever, it seemed, from the end of their quest.None of them had much spirit left."

I chose this passage because it tells at how close they are to completing their quest for the mountain but with little spirit left to do it with.It reminded me of the things they have done to get this far like the goblin caves and the spiders and the sneaking around smaug and the long long journey (shorter then Mordor).I find this very significant to the story because it describes what state their in to complete this they may have food and water but they are very tired.

In the hobbit they got crammed in barrels to escape. I know how tight barrels are and when I go on car ride I get sore. So I know how how sore they must be. That helps me relate to how they feel

text to media

In the book the dwarfs sing and I watched the movie so I know the tune to it. That helps me know the book better because I understand the song better.

text to world

In the book smaug was boasting about his underside then bilbo finds about the hole. then smaug gets mad and flies to lake town. In the world when people brag then someone finds out its not true they are usually really mad. thats what made me think that smaug may destroy lake town.

text to text

In the book they talk about building a new town. In most other books when they go to build a town the do not succeed. It helps me by giving me a idea of what will happen in the next few chapters.

PP second week

PP  sorry could only think of one

"The next morning Bilbo woke up with the early sun in his eyes. He jumped up to look at the time and put his kettle on- and found he was not at home at all" :-(

I chose this passage because it describes how much Bilbo misses his house ( hobbit hole )

In the hobbit the whole book (pg 1- pg end of chapter 9) reminds me of the movie.This helps me imagine scenes in the book like when Bilbo and Gollum were telling riddles and helps me also imagine what the character would look like their voices and some of their expressions.Overall connecting the book to the movie helped me better understand and imagine the character and scenes.

Text to World
When Bilbo and the gang decided to visit one of gandalf's friend to get supplies it reminded me of  thanksgiving and Christmas when people get together to go eat together exchange presents and also exchange their stories, it made me think what would boern think of the dwarves and the expression he made as he heard their crazy funny awful story about how they came to be.

Text to Self
In chapter 6 Out of the Frying Pan and into the Fire, When Bilbo and the gang were swooped up by eagles it reminded me of when i was in my first air plane ride.the ride was shocking to me so with this memory it helped me visualize what the gang felt like when the eagles swooped them up from off the tree.

Second Summary

This story is about a Hobbit named Bilbo Baggins who was chosen to go on an adventure to reclaim the dwarves treasure, Bilbo thought it would be like a walk in the park and really underestimated it. On his adventure he meets enormous dangers, bad weather, scary creatures, hunger, dense forests, gloomy caves and tall mountains and poor Bilbo thought it would be like walking to his neighbors house to have a nice dinner with a fireplace close by. So basically to sum it up its a book about heart-pounding adventure with many twists and turns that turns a Hobbit's world upside down. The end :D

   In the book The Hobbit it seems like they are planing to do a robbery and gather a bunch of people.  This reminds me of Fast And Furious 5 when they are planning to rob a police station, they also gather a bunch of people.        Pg. 28-30 first 5 paragraphs
