What do readers learn about the setting in this excerpt?
O Many people are invited to the party.
Some hobbits came from faraway.
Hobbiton is a community with deep traditions.
Bilbo purchased gifts for everyone in town.
Read the excerpt from The Fellowship of the Ring
Many people from other parts of the Shire were also asked,
and there were even a few from outside the borders. Bilbo
met the guests (and additions) at the new white gate in
person. He gave away presents to all and sundry—the
latter were those who went out again by a back way and
came in again by the gate. Hobbits give presents to other
people on their own birthdays. Not very expensive ones, as
a rule, and not so lavishly as on this occasion, but it was
not a bad system. Actually in Hobbiton and Bywater every
day in the year it was somebody's birthday, so that every
hobbit in those parts had a fair chance of at least one
present at least once a week. But they got tired of them.
