Gandalf says, "But share and share alike!You may find you have more needs than you except" (273). The quote is saying that that you may have more needs than you expect I can't really make it more simple than that. I think that when there going on there journey is how I can relate to it in my personal life cause me and some of my friends go do cool things like going cool places around the island.
Codboy Boss, I really enjoyed your description of the book and the quote you chose from Gandalf. You introduce the quote well by stating the speaker and you meet MLA formatting guidelines by using the parenthetical citation for the quote. The next step for you will be to master this formula (citation sandwiches) and to practice discussing quotes explicitly and implicitly. Let's do some practice exercises together. Good work!
