The most probable cause for his mother leaving was because around the time Tolkien was born, Cecil Rhodes, the cape Premier and a tycoon, had a power base in the very influential, De Beers Diamond Company, he was discredited by his plot for a second coup against Paul Kruger, the leader of British Parliament in South Africa. This eventually led to the British Declaration of War in October of 1899 (Davenport).

In 1904 Tolkien’s mother passed away, so he and his younger brother, Hilary, took up residency at their Aunts. Here Tolkien spent countless hours playing with his cousins. They often made up languages. This lead Tolkien to be proficient in Welsh, Greek, Gothic, Old Norse, and Anglo-Saxon (Smith 136-138). It is not surprising that Tolkien was able to create dialect for species of creatures that do not even exist. It is easily seen that since childhood he had an amazing imagination and was born to write about mythology an

They played a game of riddles. If Bilbo won, Gollum would show him a way out. If Gollum won however, Bilbo would become food. Gollum soon realized that Bilbo had the ring and went after him. Bilbo in his attempt to flee accidentally slipped on the ring and discovered its power, thus thwarting Gollum and allowing him to escape from the caves unscathed.

In the Lake-town Bilbo and the dwarves were able to get some rest and regain their health before the short journey to the mountain where Smaug the Great gaurded the dwarves treasure.

Tolkien also published many short stories. In 1945, “Leaf by Night”, in 1949, “Giles of Ham,” in 1962, The Adventures of Tom Bombadil, and in 1967, “Smith of Wootton Major. Tolkien then died on September 2, 1973 of old age (Bloom 166).

Word about the death of the dragon and of the unguarded treasure traveled fast. The goblins, the wolves, the wood-elves, the lake-men, and dwarves from the north were all closing in on the Lonely Mountain. This would be the setting for the Battle of Five Armies. Due to the shared hatred of goblins and wolves, the elves, men and dwarves joined forces. “It was a terrible battle. The most dreadful of all Bilbo’s experiences, and the one which at the time he hated most; which is to say it was the one he was most proud of...” (Tolkien 281) It looked like the goblins were going to win, but Before being knocked unconscious Bilbo was able to spy a numerous amount of the great eagles approaching. The dwarf, elf, man, and eagle alliance conquered the goblins and the wolves, thus winning the Battle. Bard rebuilt the Lake-town, the dwarves thrived in the mountian, and Bilbo returned home with riches.
