Bilbo Baggins- The young fellow

If Bilbo Baggins was in high school I imagine he would be popular considering he is a Took which is said to be the most known Hobbit family in all of middle earth. Bilbo would never be a sporty person but a simple person who would have tea and maybe a tobacco pipe since he is a Hobbit and he has been blowing smoke rings for almost forever. He wouldn't be nerdy but he wouldn't be sporty. He kinda would be more in the middle considering he doesn't really love going on adventures. But, if I had to choose I would choose the nerdy side considering he loves maps and reading maps and drawing maps and deciphering maps, and so on, so fourth. 

Second he would probably turn all his homework in because he is like a control freak like when he didn't want to go into the forest and get carried by an eagle. But, when he was in the Battle of the Five armies he did want to go to gather the elves and dwarves together and he did go into the Lonely Mountain and fight the dragon, somewhat. So maybe he would turn in his homework all the time but, some of the time. He would though be a student who would fight when he needed to, but he would back down and let other people fight just because he is scared. He would be a shy kid unless he fought and he would never not be harsh when he did fight like Golleum and at the beginning when he wanted the dwarves to stop talking and throwing plates around. This all tells us that Bilbo would be shy sometimes and scared to do things later in life which he does. Also he would be a control freak with everything he does and questioning everything.

Bilbo in Highschool

I think that Bilbo would be that shy student that moves to the Middle Earth High School, but he has a friend there, which would be Gandalf, that tries to introduce him with his other friends. At first, they don't like Bilbo, but as the year progresses on, Bilbo would get less annoying and more likable and stronger. At the end of the year, Bilbo steals a lot of the money they earned from a bank heist to pay off some cops that were on his trail, and then he goes with them for their protection since his old gang leader, Thorin, would "Ice him" if he saw Bilbo's face again.
He would probably turn his work in on time everyday, being afraid of getting in trouble, also trying to stay on his teacher's good side. He would be shy in the start of the year, not knowing anybody, but would become more popular as the year goes on, due to him becoming less of a wimp. This shows us exactly how he progresses in the book, starting as a weak hobbit that has never fought in his life, to a spider killing burglar.

Bilbo Baggins in High School

          If Bilbo Baggins were in high school, I think that he would have been an average kid.  He would get good grades and turn in all of his work on time because he wanted to do the right thing and was afraid of the consequences of stepping out of line.  His teachers would like him because he got everything done.  He wouldn't do anything against the rules because that might be considered adventure.
          He might be made fun of at the beginning of the year, but people would leave him and his average friends to themselves after they realized that they wouldn't retaliate.  Bilbo in high school wouldn't try to be popular.  He wouldn't go to extreme measures to be liked by popular people.  Those things might be considered adventure.  He would graduate like all of the other good hobbits, and he would be responsible.  In summary, Bilbo Baggins wouldn't have an intriguing time in high school at all.  He would do exactly what he was told and nothing else, even if it wasn't against the rules.

The Hobbit Discussion

We had a good discussion today. We had questions that led to other questions that led to more. One of the few questions we discussed about was (All the way back) Why were they getting blacked out when they tried to interact with the wood-elves. We had a good guessed that it was because the elves using magic for them to fall asleep, but then why that magic. Why sleep magic. Also, why is it the same magic that the suspiciously black water has. We assumed that the elves didn't want to kill people (due to how well they treat prisoners), but instead just tried to keep away strangers. That's also why we guessed why it was the same magic that kept the water black, but wouldn't that effect the animals and nature around it? We just assumed that it didn't since we spent so much time on one question. Also we discussed why Smaug was gone, but we just read that page where it tells you today.

Discussion (Nic, Michael, Abby, Marissa)

In our discussion we talked about what would happen to Gollum. Nic thought that Gollum would come back in the next book as a cameo. Abby thought that Gollum would come back and hunter for the ring and kill the person who has it and Marissa thought the same thing. Michael thought Gollum will disappear and reappear when the lord of the rings unfolds.
We also discussed what will happens with Bilbo at Smaug. Nic thought that he will die. Abby thought that Smaug would try to kill Bilbo, but the dwarves help him kill Smaug. Marissa thinks that Bilbo will live and kill the Smaug with the dwarves.

Discussion Summary (Roman B., Quentin B., Tate T.)

         We think that Thorin and company have been very lucky.  We think this because they survived in ways that they didn't plan and it was luck that it happened.  We think that if they left the secret door open in the lonely mountain, that they would've died.  This is because Smaug can breathe fire and it would've gone through the tunnel.  Our group also thinks that Thorin didn't show the way out of the cave because they were scared to move.  This is because they were scared that Smaug will sense them when they move then kill them.  We also think that Smaug went away so that they can catch them by surprise then kill them.  This is because Smaug has been trying to kill them then he diapered all of a sudden.

A rating of Bilbo Baggins

I  rated Bilbo Baggins in the middle but more towards the weak side because he has been scared to do anything and asks many questions like can we go around the forest or can we not fly away on an eagle. My opinion was changed however because he is is actually towards the stronger side because he has done many things like going face to face with a dragon and killing some orcs. He has greatly contributed with the battle of the five armies and he has helped to form a bond with the dwarves and elves.

All of my lit circle group members but him on the strong side because he has done many adventurous stuff including going in and trying to steal the gold and help fight in the battle of the five armies. All of the lit circle group members had the same opinion except me who had a different opinion.
