Read the following passage from The Hobbit and then complete the task that follows:

Long days after they had climbed out of the valley and left the Last Homely House miles behind, they were still going up and up and up. It was a hard path and a dangerous path, a crooked way and a lonely and a long. Bilbo shivered. It was getting bitter cold, and boulders at times came galloping down the mountainsides, let loose by mid-day sun upon the snow, and passed among them or over their heads. The nights were comfortless and chill, and they did not dare to sing or talk to loud, for the echoes were uncanny (55).

TASK: Copy the author's style of writing as best as you can to write the next paragraph. Imagine that you had to write the next paragraph all on your own, and that it would be published, only if it matched up with the writer's same descriptive writing style. You are free to make anything happen that you want to happen next. You need to write at least ten sentences.

The time past day by day until this journey was over.Bilbo became a hero to Thorin gold.When he went back home there was no longer a dangerous path.the dwarfs were so happy they started to sing . But even though they were happy the were still cold.Bilbo was definitely cold . they saw the dragon surrounding the mountain.the dragon was suck a thief he would steal from the kings son.they were so happy to be on an adventure but sad story the dragon strikes again.But it started to rain.

and the cold night want on without there little joyly hearts singing. The drawefs hated the fact that they couldent sing. For there hopes were high and there songs were low. How could they ever kill smag with out there songs. The drawes were with out a song not a wishel of the wind quiet when haaaaaaaaaa.
