The audience is the Shire attendees. They include many families. 3. The beginning of the speech is humorous and joyous until Bilbo’s mood changes. Bilbo becomes emotional and seems disconcerted. In fact he seems like he is on the brink of tears. The facial expressions of the audience are of astonishment once Bilbo says goodbye and disappears. Frodo is definitely a mixture of heartbreak and shock. Gandalf is shocked but also dismayed because he knows that Bilbo used some type of magic or something that is definitely not good. 4. Bilbo uses the //Non Sequitur// logical fallacy. In the beginning he calls out the different families, he flatters them, and then throws them for a loop with "I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve." After Bilbo says this he talks about going away and suddenly disappears. 5. Bilbo’s speech was all over the place. He seems happy in the beginning—he flatters the audience with words like, “excellent and admirable hobbits.” Then insults them with a confounding quote that most would not be able to figure out. He switches to saying it’s time for him to leave. He then disappears. Bilbo’s speech certainly does not make any sense. The speech needs to be logical and make sense.
