Choose one conflict in The Hobbit, and explain how Tolkien uses it to move the story forward. Don't forget to cite page number when appropriate. Character Against Nature March 12, 2010 __**//Battle to See the Next Day//**__
 * Bilbo and the dwarves are fighting against nature. They have to find food on there own and trudge through the darkness of the forest. They are getting very hungry, thirsty, and frustrated because they can't find any food or water. They also have to cross dangerous rivers with only a small row boat. (Page 156-159) Bombur fell in the river and now is asleep because of the river's poison. Now the dwarves have to carry him until he wakes up. This nature of the forest is really getting to Bilbo and the dwarves. They are feeling like they are going to go crazy because of the darkness of the forest. They also feel like they are never safe because there are so many evil creatures that live in this forest that could suddenly attack Bilbo and the dwarves. These couple of things move the story forward because it makes new adventures to find food and to keep the group progressing through the forest, where if they were not famished, or desperate to get out of the forest, then there would be less adventures in the book. I think that J.R.R. Tolkien has done a very good job of explaining the conflicts and adventures.**

Good conflict! There were so many to choose from, but the conflicts against nature were constant! Good idea. It is also a force that cannot be tamed, so that makes it even more exciting. Good job! Mrs. Best
