A Blog Post That May Bore Some Of You

Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2011 brings tidings of less homework and more sleep!
I love LOTR. After nearly 200 pages and one week, I have finally reached the bit that I showed you last week. Page 328. "I go to find the sun!"
I still can't belive I survived the Council of Elrond. And I have some trouble with the names- it's like Mr. Tolkien expects me to know everything. I have figured out Imladris is Rivendell (yay) and I already knew that Orodurin is Mt. Doom (Mountain of Fire) and Barad-dur is Sauron's tower with his evil eye (pun intended). Other than that, though, I am nearly to the point of confusion.
I would like to know more about Gil-galad because he sounds similar to my favourite character. I still can't belive how haughty Boromir is, even though he has been honoured with the chance to go with Frodo. He is, by far, my least favourite character. I mean, I can't even laugh at him! He doesn't talk funny, he doesn't do stupid enough things, and he doesn't make jokes! GRRRR!!!!!!!!! And he succumbs to the Ring so easily, I was nearly disgusted. Faramir should be much better from his brother...just one more book....


For my quote this week, I decided to use a Gandalf quote. I can't recall if I've used it before or not, so I'm going to use it again.
"There are many powers in this world, for good or for evil. Some are greater than I am. Against some I have not been measured. But my time is coming."
Yes, the time is coming. Until next week,
-Jenni
