GoodReads is sponsoring a poll today, and we thought we'd piggyback on their poll for our writing prompt. So, here is the question:  

If you could be tranported into the story of The Hobbit, which character would you want to be?

 Hobbit
 Dwarf
 Human
 Dragon
 Elf
 Wizard
 Goblin 

Include in your answer why?  Your answer must be written in complete sentences.  A minimum of five sentences is requried.  

Here is an example of an excellent answer shared as a comment:

I'd like to be an elf. Elves are much more magical than any race except, perhaps, wizards. Elven women are incredibly beautiful - tall and slender - the way I'd like to be. Elves are slightly suspicious of the other races, but willing to allow their suspicion abate once they have spent time with members of another race. The Elves of Rivendell live in a gorgeous palace-like dwelling. The Woodland Elves live in Mirk-wood. They are probably the most suspicious. But I like the Elves of Lothlórien the best. Their homes in the tops of trees are beautiful. They sing mystical songs that put human music to shame. Yes, I'd like to be an Elf!
