  1. The HobbitChapter 7: QUEER LODGINGS By: Avi Dave

  2. Plot Bilbo and his friends are leaving the lord of eagles to continue on with their journey. Leaving off to their adventure, Gandalf has disappointed the dwarves and the hobbit by leaving the company on there own for the journey. Gandalf has been generous though, he will not leave without getting them ponies and food to have them ready to go through Mirkwood.

  3. Plot (continued) Gandalf and his companions decide to meet a person that goes by the name of Beorn, a half-man, half-bear creature. Gandalf tells him their adventures through the Misty Mountains. Beorn has enjoyed there story especially because of his hatred for goblins. Hearing this story he decides to help them. He provides them a lot of food that can sustain them for a long time. Beorn tells them to go a different route to avoid the goblins and the wargs since he has figured out the goblins were going to attack them. Bilbo and his friends leaves Beorn to Mirkwood. Gandalf departs too and wishes them good luck.

  4. Character Revelation • We see that Bilbo and the dwarves are extremely emotional about Gandalf leaving. • Bilbo is also relaxed since he with his friends and he does not have to put up with anymore goblins. • Gandalf also cares about his companions a lot • Beorn can turn himself into a bear. • Beorn will do anything to defeat the goblins

  5. Literally Devices “ I heard him growl in the tongue of bears,” (Tolkien 116) • The word growl is an example of an onomatopoeia. Growl is a word that sounds like its meaning. When we hear a bear yell, you are kind of hearing the bear saying growl. “ May the wind under your wing bear you where the sun sailsand the moon walks,” ( Tolkien 113) • This is an example of a personification because Tolkien is giving a inanimate object a human attribute(the moon walks). What Gandalf is trying to say to the eagles is that, I am wishing you good luck and I hope you will fly high where the moon and sun is.

  6. Literary Devices(CONT.) “ Was a great rock, almost a hill of stone, like a last outpost of the distant mountains,” (Tolkien 113) • This is a example of a simile. The sentence is comparing two unlike objects using like. In this sentence, they are comparing a very big rock to the misty mountains.

  7. Questions Why do you think Tolkien named this chapter Queer Lodgings? Who is Beorn and what animal can he turn into? Why did Beorn decide to help the party?

  8. The End!!!
