Week Two Connector (Jayde) 11 / 12

     As the Connector, my job is to give you guys three questions that are open-ended, that you can connect with, and how it can relate to the real world. All three of these questions have no single correct answer and are somewhat opinionated. Be sure to explain yourself, and answer with complete sentences!

1.) Do you think there are any other reasons Gandalf chose Bilbo Baggins to be in their party? Do you think these are good reasons? If you don't think there are any other reasons, explain why. If you do think there are other reasons, list them and explain your answer.

2.) You can tell that Bilbo was nervous about changing his current lifestyle by going on an unknown adventure with complete strangers. Have you ever been afraid to change something in your life? Have you ever been apprehensive to go somewhere or do something when you didn't know what could happen? Explain your answers to these questions.

3.) Do you think the arguments and agitation between Bilbo (a Hobbit) and the dwarves (...dwarves) can represent the cultural differences of the real world? How does this represent the intolerance for differing races and cultures of today's society or societies in the past?
