Explanation: William locks Margot in the closet because the sun is coming out and he does not want her to see it.
The problem between Margot and the other kids is that she is from Earth and they have lived on Venus for all of their lives. They are jealous of Margot because she has seen the sun, and they do not remember the last time it came out when they were toddlers. Margot also does not relate well to any of the kids from Venus.
The appearance of the sun brings out the worst in the kids. They are very excited because the sun only comes out once every seven years.Margot has been on Venus for only five years. She remembers the sun, but the children cannot stand the idea. They have turned to bullying to deal with the situation, because Margot has not assimilated into Venus life. She does not play their games and has not made friends.The children do not really think about what they are doing when they put Margot in the closet. They make it a “joke” even though it is supremely cruel. When the sun comes out, the children simply forget about her in all of the excitement. They seem to have intended to pretend to lock her in there so she would miss the sun, but then they actually did it. This story is a good example of the pointless cruelty of bullying. If someone is different, then that person becomes a target. This is even more true with children, who are intolerant of uniqueness and privilege.

Answer: The mountain paths were dangerous and couldn't guarantee a safe travel- for example, mountain lions are a true fact. Also, the climate and weather conditions in mountains were too risky, so they had to go around them
The settings in the book are essential for development of the characters in the novel and their relationships with each other.Tolkien writes that "the cliffs on Lonely Mountain are tall and grim, and that danger lurks in every rock". In addition to being dangerous and scary, the mountain is a fortress that looks impossible to enter. The language used in the chapter creates a sense of fear, suspense and threat as, once again, the travelers find that they have to rely on Bilbo to retrieve the Arkenstone. Just as Smaug, the dragon greedily guards his treasure, Thorin and the other dwarves reveal how greedily they want to get it. The dark winding tunnels and the Battle of Five Armies make Lonely Mountain the complete opposite of the Shire, showing to readers how much Bilbo has changed over time. This chapter shows characters in a new light.
