Journal #1

In the first chapter, we are introduced to what seems to be the two main characters. The first one is Bilbo Baggins, and he is a hobbit. Hobbits are like people, only half of our size. They have bare feet with thick skin and they all love good food. Hobbits are not outgoing or crazy, they live in little caves in the hills, and like the peace and quiet. One morning Bilbo is out smoking his pipe and a tall man in a robe and hat comes by, this man's name is Gandalf. Gandalf speaks to Bilbo about adventure and Bilbo shows no interest. However, the next day, 13 dwarves arrive at his house and eat all his food, one dwarf has a hood with a silver string, and appears to be the head dwarf. They are all fed and served some drinks and play some music before they discuss business, an adventure.
