Answer:speech of a teenager. This allows us to sympathize with the girl by making it easier to imagine the types of thoughts she is having. The author also uses some rhetorical devices such as Anaxagoras the repetition of words at the beginning of neighboring clauses, similes and metaphors. These use of words contributes to the theme of confusion and pain that comes from confusing superficial flirting with serious attraction.

  • The story is trying to convey the message that being attracted to someone, or being infatuated, is not the same as true love. The teenage girl feels excited and happy to have someone care for her, however, the boy is not serious about her. He wanted to "pick her up" but had no intention of ever turning this passing flirtation into a serious relationship. The story also suggests that not being able to distinguish between these two different types of attention can cause a lot of heartache and confusion.

Answer:

Bilbo.

Explanation:

It does seem like he is leading the quest with all the information that I have to work with. He understood the rune to make the door open, and based on the information, it doesn't seem like Thorin has done anything, really. It also seems like Bilbo has more experience with the stuff that has happened so far.

Bilbo understood the rune, and Thorin didn't.

This is just based on the information I have, I'm not sure if Thorin did something or not.

irga5000 [103]

cause it is talking about how they have known each other for so long but never really talked and that its good to let people know how u feel "It helps you to let off steam."


Peter. I suppose you miss your friends and all.

Anne. It isn't just . . . (She breaks off, staring up at him for a second.) Isn't it funny, you and I? Here we’ve been seeing each other every minute for almost a year and a half, and this is the first time we've ever really talked. It helps a lot to have someone to talk to, don't you think? It helps you to let off steam.(continued)

Peter (Going to the door). Well, any time you want to let off steam, you can come into my room.

Anne (Following him). I can get up an awful lot of steam. You'll have to be careful how you say that.

Peter. It’s all right with me.

Anne. Do you mean it?

Peter. I said it, didn’t I?

your welcome have a wonderful day
