Answer:  Although some may say it was a bad idea or a dumb idea to include all the races in the formation of the Fellowship, I believe it was a good including them all. The Elf King, Gandalf, and Frodo were then able to make sure everyone knew what they were trying to accomplish. Their goal was to destroy the One Ring, so Saruman couldn’t get his hands on it and take over all of the lands. Every race included in the Fellowship had their own advantages to potentially offer.
