FOTR 6


PG 121-125

As Frodo and his friends enter the woods with wary glance, unsure of the dangers that are in the woods. As the troop move on, Frodo and pippin could actually sense the trees enmity for them. Sam, however, was the bravest of the Hobbits because he has been in this woods many times. Despite this, he started to doubt his thoughts because the Forest itself moved the clearing away, for that was were they were headed. Luckily, they did find the clearing and stopped for lunch. The trees were not as angry as before, Frodo says. As they continue, it seems the trees realize these are good Hobbits, and let up on the intimidation. They are not out of the forest yet, but I think they will be fine when they do get out.

FOTR 5


PG 111 – 120

            Once Frodo and company reached his new home, they quickly undressed and fought over whom would bathe first. Merry makes peace between the three when he mentions the new house has three bathtubs and a large copper bowl they can use for the same purposes. After some songs in the shower, Frodo and his buddies have a second supper (which is not uncommon for hobbits) with Merry and another friend named ‘Fatty’ Bolger. During the feast, they discussed the fact that they knew Frodo was leaving for quite some time. They insisted that they go with Frodo on his quest, no matter what ma befall them. Deeply moved, Frodo thanks them for being his friends and they plan their quest out of the Shire. However, Bolger decides to stay behind to see if Gandalf the wizard come looking for them and to stray any Black Riders away from them. This seemed like a bold and selfless act until we discover he is actually scared of the Old Woods, were Frodo and company are going for fear of the shadowy riders. Sam, Frodo, pippin, and merry enter the forest through a secret passageway, being wary of trees dropping limbs on them. Who knows what dangers are in these ominous woods?

FOTR 1


Fellowship of the ring
                        PG 0-41
            The story starts off with a small creature, a hobbit, named Bilbo Baggins. He is famous among the hobbits for he is rich due to his tremendous adventures that were in the prequel to this story. On his one hundred and eleventh birthday, he holds and extravagant party for over 100 hobbits and tells them he is leaving forever. He leaves his home and treasures to his nephew, Frodo Baggins. He also leaves to Frodo a magical ring that makes the wearer invisible.

 I have already read the prequel so I know why all this is happening. I hope it is as good as the Prequel, The Hobbit.
