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.
