Why were dains people refused entry to the mountain?

Bard prevented them from entering until the exchange for the Arkenstone had been made.Because they are there to help Thorin. Bard knows it will be easier get Thorin to accept his demands if he is isolated from any help.


What does audacious mean in the hobbit?

In chapter 1, Thorin says the following: "We are met together in the house of our friend and fellow conspirator, this most excellent and audacious hobbit - may the hair on his toes never fall out! all praise to his wine and ale! -" I think audacious, in this instance, means having a willingness to take risks. It may have been a poor choice of word for Thorin to make. Perhaps, if Thorin had used the word brave, courageous, heroic, or valiant, he would have gotten a more positive response from Bilbo though it seems Bilbo was not in a mood to hear any words of that kind spoken of himself so early in the story. Bilbo is a hobbit after all and hobbits never do anything unexpected.


Why was Robin Hood Famos?

Robin Hood wasn't much different than any other bandit leader of his own time or before or since. However Alan Adale (his biographer) created a series of ballad and poems that were of superior quality and have perpetuated themselves. So its a mater of artistic talent not heroic exploits.


Is Pirates of the Caribbean 4 good?

Yes!! It was as good as the first three, if not better. Its a great action movie, and full of suspense. Captain Jack Sparrow is definitely my favorite character. He was as brave, heroic, and hilarious as usual. The story is great too, including the legend of the Fountain of Youth. Anybody with any sense at all would agree this movie was one of the best ever!!

Why does the master relinquish his great chair to thorin even though he is not convinced that the dwarf is what he claims to be?

The Master relinquishes his chair to Thorin because of the social status and power associated with the lineage that Thorin claims to be from. It's a gesture to maintain diplomacy and alleviate any potential conflicts that could arise from denying Thorin. Additionally, the Master may be acting out of self-preservation, as going against Thorin could lead to repercussions from the dwarf's supporters or allies.

In "The Hobbit," the Master is surprised and shocked for he didn't think they would have approached Smaug. He thinks Thorin is a fraud for being a descendant.

Who was Thorin Oakenshield in The Hobbit?

Thror was the grandfather of Thorin, the leader of the dwarves in the adventure. It was Thror that made the map that they used to find the 'back door' to the mountain. Thror also passed the key to the door along with the map to his son Thrain. These were given to Gandalf, who gave them to Thorin. Thror also possessed one of the Seven Dwarven Rings of Power, but when he entered Moria he handed it to Thrain.

Are there any leaders of atheism?

The only leader in atheism is your self. No. Atheism is simply the lack of belief in gods. It's not a movement, or an organisation. Having a leader would be a bit like people who don't watch sports having a leader. It's simply something they do not do, and so it would be impossible to have a leader. There are some atheists who many people respect for their sensible views, but they are not leaders in any sense of the word.
