Gandalf+and+Bard

Gandalf and Bard !

Gandalf- is a wizard, who is the guide for the dwarves and the hobbit. He leaves in chapter 7 to attend to business in the South. He is afraid of Wargs, he saves the dwarves and the hobbit many times. He killed the Goblin King, with a sword. He chased away the Wargs with fire! He also brought them to Beorn's house, where they set off into the forest. Gandalf said that the dwarves would soon start to respect Bilbo, and they did. Bilbo seems to look up to Gandalf, because before he left he was the leader. Since, he's left Bilbo, he is a more confident leader and person. Near the middle/end of the book, everyone starts looking up to Bilbo. Even though Gandalf is not with them, he still is talked and thought about a lot. The dwarves and Bilbo alsways think about what Gandalf would do, or what he would say. They try to act like Gandalf when thinkgs go wrong because he is their hero. They look up to Gandalf to lead them through tough times, and rely on him to always pull through to save them. Although he always does, he probably realizes they are too dependant on him. Gandalf was pretty much just any random character, who is looked up to like a superhero. He is a legend to people who like adventures. He is like the greatest adventurer, because he is really the only one who ever comes back alive.

 Bard- Bard is a human who conveniently kills Smaug. The thrush comes and tells Bard (who happens to speak thrush) about the spot missing in Smaug's armour. ( left side of his chest, where his heart is) Bard uses a special black arrow to kill Smaug, who was terrorizing Laketown. When Smaug is dead, the people are greatful that Bard saved them, and want to reward him as being the new Master of their town. The people were very angry at the Master because he didn't do anything to help or protect them from the impending dragon attack, so they were going to replace him with Bard. But he talked himself out of the situation, and blamed Bilbo and the dwarves. Bard is the last known descendant of Girion, the king of Dale. Bard is in an alliance with the Elven king. Together they bargined with Thorin and company about the share of the treasure.(Arkenstone) Bilbo gave Bard the Arkenstone so he could use it to bargain with Thorin. They start to fight with Thorin and his friends/family. But luckily, Gandalf helps calm them down.
