Best Answer

Gandalf proves to be a very good manipulator when talking to Beorn because of how he brings the Dwarves in at very high points in the story. He does this so Beorn would stay interested in the story. I hope this answered your question:)

In general, Gandalf does not manipulate, he persuades. The notable exception to this is in The Hobbit. He manipulates Bilbo and the dwarves by putting a mark on his fence stating "burgler for hire" or some such time.

He marked Bilbo's door which leads to his adventures. He got Beorn interested in the story by interruption. He mocked the trolls until daylight (when they fought with each other and turned to stone).

There's little suggestion that Gandalf used any powers to manipulate Beorn. He did however persuade him that he, Bilbo and the Dwarves were friends rather than a potential threat. In telling him the tale of their story so far Beorn was convinced and later helped them at the Battle of Five Armies.

He stretched out his story of the dwarves adventurers in such as way that it was a long time before Beorn really knew how many of them there were.

What happened to the goblin and the warg that were caught by beorn?

They were killed by Beorn. Beorn was investigating the truth behind Gandalf's story of the party's flight from the goblins and captured a wolf and goblin near the circle of trees where the party hid from the wargs. Beorn is described as having interrogated the wolf and goblin and the clear implication is that he killed them afterwards and kept their heads as trophies or perhaps warnings.

What if your sister told your boyfriend a lie if you tell him the truth would it be wrong of him to breakup with you?

There is something suspicious about your question. Why would your boyfriend want to break up with you for telling the truth? Let me get this straight: is the truth worse than the lie? Yes, sometimes telling the truth is not too favorable. But it is certainly better than telling a lie. So, take the bull by the horns and see whether your boyfriend can take some bad (if that's what it is) news. If he can't - and depending on the truth it would never be wrong to break up with you - good riddance.
