In chapters 5, Bilbo falls down a hole in the cave and meets Golum and they have a riddling contest. If Bilbo wins, he gets let free. If Golum wins, he gets to eat Bilbo. Fortunately, Bilbo wins but Golum discovers he has the ring and he will not let Bilbo free. Although they wont let him free, as always, the protagonist wins and Bilbo escapes. In chapter 6, Bilbo finds Gandolf along with the rest of the dwarfs. When they continue on their journey, they start to hear wolves and they hide in pine trees, Gandalf finds pine cones, catches them on fire and throws them at the wolves. When the pine cones hit the wolves, they caught on fire and caught the goblins' attention. When they noticed this, they lit the trees on fire and giant eagles amazing swoop down and save their endangered lives.
I liked chapter 5 because I like riddles. I like riddles because they rhyme and rhymes always seem to easily catch my attention and when my attention is easily caught, I tend to remember things a whole lot easier. I like when I remember things because then I get good grades. I also find Golum to be a lowlife because all that he does in his spare time is talk to himself and makes up riddles. Where is his social life? Why doesn't he want out of the cave? These things very much confuse me.
I liked chapter 6 because it has a very random ending of eagles saving their lives. I mean you would at least expect that Gandalf and the goblins would get in some sort of battle. In a way, this ruins what could have happened in the story. This is because if Gandalf got in a huge battle with the goblins, it would've definitely increased the intensity and suspense of that time in the story rather than spoiling it with an uncreative ending. But as I said earlier, I like this because it was very unoriginal and unexpected.
