The tone of this article is highly critical towards those who complain about the challenges and adversities that life brings upon them, or that they bring upon themselves, and, instead of seeing them as opportunities to surpass themselves and even excel, they focus on feeling sorry for themselves, and expect others to feel the same way about them. They adopt a conformist attitude that might be reflecting a lack of confidence or a limited capability. Furthermore, the tone of the article is outspoken yet encouraging. Life may not be fair, and it is certainly not easy, particularly for some people, but a positive attitude and personal drive can go a long way to make the most out of it.
Answer:
Bilbo regains consciousness in pitch black. Crawling along the tunnel, he picks up a metal ring, “almost without thinking.” Taking comfort from the discovery that his little sword is also an elvish blade that shines when goblins are near, he starts walking down the tunnel but stops when he walks into cold water.
When Gollum can’t find his ring, he guesses (correctly, this time) that Bilbo has it and comes to attack Bilbo. As Bilbo runs away, he puts his hand in his pocket to figure out what he does have there, and the ring slips onto his finger. Gollum runs past, and Bilbo follows Gollum to the “back door.” There Gollum stops, smelling many goblins, and blocks the passage. Eventually, he senses Bilbo and readies himself to spring. Bilbo briefly contemplates killing him, but a “sudden understanding, a pity mixed with horror, welled up in Bilbo’s heart,” and he jumps over Gollum instead.
Bilbo runs to the door and is seen by the goblins because the ring has slipped off his finger. He puts it back on, dodges goblins, and eventually squeezes through the door, leaving “his nice brass buttons” all over the doorstep.
