Is 'The Hobbit' linear?
The Hobbit is fairly linear. There are a few places where the time line backs up, particularly when the dwarves and Bilbo are exploring Smaug's den and Smaug is attacking Laketown.
Why do the dwarves finally relent and make their way down the dark tunnel to Smaug's lair?
Bilbo stamps his foot and yells "Light! Light! Light!" repeatedly until the dwarves relent and come down the tunnel. They are deathly afraid of Smaug returning, but Bilbo's cries draw them to him.
Why does Smaug decide to destroy lake-town in The Hobbit book?
* Smaug didn't like them thumping their barrels. * Bilbo in being clever about who he was claimed to be 'barrel rider' in reference to his journey down the river in a barrel. Smaug took this to mean he was one of the Lake-men and vowed revenge for Bilbo's intrusion into his lair.
What puzzles smaug about Bilbo?
Smaug has never smelled anything like Bilbo and he cannot place it.
What saying does Bilbo make after fleeing Smaug?
After he gets away from Smaug, Bilbo makes up a saying that would become a favorite of his. Never laugh at live dragons, Bilbo, you fool.

What happened to Laketown in The Hobbit?
It was destroyed by Smaug. What wasn't burned by his fiery breath was crushed when he fell on it.
How did Smaug lose his scale?
Yes AND no. Yes because when Thorin, Bilbo and the others went into his lair, he deliberately laid on his stomach on his treasure. Why else; to defend this weak spot! No because he forgot. Bilbo tricked Smaug twice into revealing it. The first was during his conversation with Bilbo. Smaug was very polite with Bilbo listening to his riddles. Convinced that Bilbo did not mean him any harm, Smaug rolled over on his back. Bilbo saw the spot where the scale was missing somewhere on Smaug's chest. The second time was when Smaug realised that Bilbo ran away with a golden two handled cup. This pushed Smaug's infuriation to its boiling point. He started destroying things and eating the dwarfs ponies and when he got to Long Lake, he was flying so high that the chink in Smaug's armor was visible. Bard the Bowman shot him in that very spot, Smaug didn't see it coming.
Where did Smaug die?
Smaug's layer is in the heart of the Misty Mountains.
How does Bilbo distract the dragon in The Hobbit?
Bilbo told Smaug a riddle to keep him distracted.
What is Bilbo's reaction to Long Lake?
Though he is treated like royalty with the dwarves since the towns people believe they came to set peace to their old home, Bilbo isn't as happy as the dwarves are. He is afraid of the journey ahead with Smaug. Bilbo is also sick. (Page 198)
Does Bilbo contribute to Smaug's death?
Yes. He tells them that Smaug's underbelly has a small patch where there are no scales. Basically his weak spot.
