Hello, Never fear The HUMAN SPIDER IS HERE>

In The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, Bilbo Baggins finds himself in the lair of Smaug, a fearsome dragon. Smaug's lair was once the kingdom of the dwarves, for whom Bilbo is working. Being a modest hobbit, Bilbo isn't long entranced by the mound of gold, jewels, and treasures—known as the hoard—upon which the dragon rests; however, the dwarves behavior changes greatly. The fury of their lost riches and the ruin of their palace has caused them to be overcome with anger. Thorin Oakenshield is one of the dwarves who is most influenced by the setting, overcome with greed, especially for the Arkenstone. He becomes power hungry, tunnel vision causes him to be abrasive to the others—he puts the treasures' value above that of the lives of his fellow dwarves. Some of these dwarves cower at the dragon, feeling it's best to leave it alone. They need a leader, and are torn between Bilbo and Thorin. When the situation arises where they start to take sides, Bilbo realizes that his judgement is good. It becomes apparent that even though Thorin is in authority, he cannot be trusted when his kingdom is concerned. The selfishness of Thorin in contrast to the wisdom of Bilbo shows arominent theme in the story, which is that sometimes then greatest warriors are silent, even invisible (like Bilbo when he wears his ring). Heroes aren't always fearsome and powerful, they can be clever, quiet leaders. Thorin's selfishness infuriates the dragons and causes death and destruction in the nearby village, but Bilbo's decision to keep the Arkenstone from Thorin and use it to bargain with the villagers saves many lives. The concept of humility being rewarded is huge at the conclusion of the story. Even the sight of the treasure had the magnitude to show one's true character, where Thorin's fear of losing his dignity, his kingdom, is more important than Bilbo's life. This setting serves to display the themes that courage comes in all shapes and sizes, and material possessions are a true test of one's character.

What is the effect of narrator's word choice on the tone of this passage? the words "my heart shrank within itself" create a fearful tone. the words "wounded his fellow" develop a remorseful tone. the words "struck harsh upon my ears" suggest an irritated tone. the words "better-omened" set a hopeful tone. excerpt from "the cabuliwallah" by rabindranath tagore i was sitting in my study, looking through the accounts, when some one entered, saluting respectfully, and stood before me. it was rahmun the cabuliwallah. at first i did not recognise him. he had no bag, nor the long hair, nor the same vigour that he used to have. but he smiled, and i knew him again. "when did you come, rahmun? " i asked him. "last evening," he said, "i was released from jail." the words struck harsh upon my ears. i had never before talked with one who had wounded his fellow, and my heart shrank within itself when i realised this; for i felt that the day would have been better-omened had he not turned up.

In this excerpt from "quality" by john galsworthy, which two parts clearly indicate the literary point of view of the essay? that tenement had a certain quiet distinction; there was no sign upon its face that he made for any of the royal family—merely his own german name of gessler brothers; and in the window a few pairs of boots. i remember that it always troubled me to account for those unvarying boots in the window, for he made only what was ordered, reaching nothing down, and it seemed so inconceivable that what he made could ever have failed to fit. had he bought them to put there? that, too, seemed inconceivable. he would never have tolerated in his house leather on which he had not worked himself. besides, they were too beautiful—the pair of pumps, so inexpressibly slim, the patent leathers with cloth tops, making water come into one's mouth, the tall brown riding boots with marvellous sooty glow, as if, though new, they had been worn a hundred years. those pairs could only have been made by one who saw before him the soul of boot—so truly were they prototypes incarnating the very spirit of all foot-gear. these thoughts, of course, came to me later, though even when i was promoted to him, at the age of perhaps fourteen, some inkling haunted me of the dignity of himself and brother. for to make boots—such boots as he made—seemed to me then, and still seems to me, mysterious and wonderful.
