Have you ever felt as you felt like going home, but you thought that someone would hurt your feelings? Are you uncomfortable, but cant do anything about it? Well so does Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien.
It is either really cold, or uncomfortable. Like the narrator said in the book, "The nights were comfortless and chill, and they did not dare to sing or talk to loud, for the echoes were uncanny, and the silence seemed to dislike being broken-except by the noise of water and the wail of wind and the crack of stone," it was probably very dangerous to sing and talk, but it was also very cold so all they could do was just sit there in the wind.
Sometimes, Bilbo thinks it was a bad idea to have even gone, which makes him want to go home even more. It proves my idea right here, from what Bilbo said, from the book, " 'Why, O why did I ever leave my hobbit-hole!' said poor Mr. Baggins bumping up and down on Bombur's back."
Another reason the Dwarves didn't want Bilbo to leave is not because, one, he signed a contact AND promised to go with them, but, two, he was a here to them. In this paragraph, straight from the book, it states just one he saved them.
"Wriggling along the branch (which made all the poor dwarves dance and dangle like ripe fruit) he reached the first bundle. 'Fili or Kili,' he thought by the tip of a blue hood sticking out at the top. 'Most likely Fili,' he thought by the tip of a long nose poking out of the winding threads. He managed by leaning over to cut most of the strong sticky threads that bound him round, and then, sure enough, with a kick and a struggle most of Fili emerged." Then they fought off the rest of the spiders and saved the rest.
So now, no matter how much Bilbo Baggins wants to go home, he can't, because they need him and he is afraid to let them down. So in the book, The Hobbit, by JRR Tolkien, Mr. Baggins will not leave because he doesn't want to let down the Dwarves.
