Here are a set of questions that I am struggling to answer from chapter 16 of The Hobbit: 1. What treasure does Thorin continue to look for? Why does he want it so badly?

2. Who does Bilbo relieve of guard duty? Why does he do it?

3. Where does Bilbo go once he’s out of the mountain?

4. Who does Bilbo ask to see/speak with?

5. Why are the Wood Elves and the Men reluctant to trust Bilbo?

6. What does Bilbo give Bard? Why does he do this?

7. What offer does Bard make Bilbo that he declines?

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

he is honest with congress and america about the difficulty of the war ahead.

usually, a falcon can kill an owl, and horses don't normally eat each other.
