Why does Gandalf think it is important to include Bilbo as the 14th member of the expedition

English
1 answer:
Digiron [165]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

He really didn't have a reason....... that's just how he chose to do it.......

Explanation:

"Of course, there is a mark," said Gandalf. "I put it there myself. For very good reasons. You asked me to find the fourteenth man for your expedition, and I chose Mr. Baggins. Just let anyone say I chose the wrong man or the wrong house and you can stop at thirteen and have all the bad luck you like, or go back to digging coal."

As for further explanation, the text later cites ( a few paragraphs down)

"So, no one can tell for sure why he did that, but one can think, beyond the shadow of a doubt that he 'sensed' that Bilbo is a 'man' for the job."

Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World. The Indian coolies and the ex-slaves, who resented these newcomers flooding into
stich3 [128]

The author includes logical evidence that Indian workers and formerly enslaved people didn't get along because wages went down.  

In the passage, it states:

"The Indian coolies and the ex-slaves, who resented the newcomers flooding the colonies and driving down wages, were instant rivals."

In this case, the Indian coolies are the newcomers and the ex-slaves are the ones resenting them. Therefore, the ex-slaves resent the Indian coolies because they were driving down wages.
