BRIDGETTE'S CLASS ONLY - Journals are due Monday, Oct. 6 - Check Focus for details.
Journal 17: Choose one and write a TIED-IED paragraph.
A. What is noble about Bilbo's actions with the Arkenstone? (Consider: Why does he do it? Would any other character in the story be capable of this? What does it say about Bilbo's ethics? Why does he return to the mountain? Would you have done the same?)
B. Trace Thorin's moral degeneration. (Consider: What causes him to change? In what ways does he end up being similar to Smaug? Why do you think he is corrupted so easily?)
