Questions/Comments/Ideas about Chapter 10 - Wester Middle School

Did it say in the book WHY the Arkenstone was so important to Thorin? I know it's the "heart of the Mountain" but... how did it get that title? Was it because of its value or beauty? Or was their a better reason?

I cant believe it the end is drawing closer with every page all i hear Bilbo say now is that they are getting closer to the end and he is freaking out because he knows its 75% chance he will die How do you think it will end and if you think they get the treasure how do you think they will get it.

I know Thorin was the king under the mountains grandson but why would they treat him so good if they don't even know if that really is him??

Why do you think the Master of the Men of the Lake was having a feast when Bilbo and the others arrived? What was he celebrating that day?

Jacqueline G · Jacqueline G

As the journey continues and Thorin and Co. get closer to their destinations they all are kinda having different feelings about ups and downs that are happening. How would you feel in their place?

How would you feel if this one guy who's supposed to be like, a super-awesome person just barges in with 13 other people and claims to be who he is with no proof? Whta would you do?

Do you think that once Thorin gets his treasure he will reclaim his kingdom and live with the drwarves or just go to a normal life??

First of all, I know that Thorin and Co. were placed in empty wine barrels at the end of Chapter 9, but I am posting it here because we learn about most of their journey at the beginning of Chapter 10. My question is: If they were on a river floating away, wouldn't they all get seperated? Rivers have tributa...

On page 201 (in the little green book) at the very end of the chapter it says, " The only person thoroughly unhappy was Bilbo." Why do you think Bilbo was unhappy?

Okay, For number 8 in our packet, (Why did Thorin demand to be taken to the Master of the Men of the Lake?) I'm QUITE confused about. Did Thorin already KNOW the Master? Was there anyone else thatcould give them shelter or provisions? Did Thorin know that the Master would comply and give the group...

What is the men's REAL relationship with the dwarves? Based on the chapter, they seem to know and awful lot about Thror and Thrain... and Smaug.....

The men of the Lake were obviously very joyous that Thorin, the son of Thrain, who was the son of Thror, had returned. There was a great celebration and the men believed that gold would soon be flowing down the river, and pouring out in great amounts. If you were in the viewpoint of the men of the Lake, woul...

On page 176, it gives a description of Thorin at the prescence of the guards, "it spite of his torn clothes and dragged hood....sie eyes were dark and deep." Would you suspect anything if he approached you with tattered clothing yet gold overflowing him? &g...

At the end of chapter 10 on page 201 does it say "The only person throughly unhappy was Bilbo." ? This could be in the text, but I couldn't find it, so I was wondering if anyone else knew?

Kate M · Kate M

Go back and read this passage... In the little green books its on page 196. "All leaped to their feet......not to the raft-men of the king" Why do you think the Master chose to beileve the dwarves, these random strangers who say their related to Thror, instead of the elves, who have be...
