Meanwhile, the Ents, roused by Merry and Pippin from their peaceful ways, attack and destroy Isengard, Saruman's stronghold, and flood it, trapping the wizard in the tower of Orthanc. Gandalf convinces Treebeard to send an army of Huorns to Théoden's aid. He brings an army of Rohirrim to Helm's Deep, and they defeat the Orcs, who flee into the forest of Huorns, never to be seen again. Gandalf, Théoden, Legolas, and Gimli ride to Isengard, and are surprised to find Merry and Pippin relaxing amidst the ruins. Gandalf offers Saruman a chance to turn away from evil. When Saruman refuses to listen, Gandalf strips him of his rank and most of his powers. After Saruman leaves, Wormtongue throws down a hard round object to try to kill Gandalf. Pippin picks it up; Gandalf swiftly takes it, but Pippin steals it in the night. It is revealed to be a palantír, a seeing-stone that Saruman used to speak with Sauron, and that Sauron used to ensnare him. Sauron sees Pippin, but misunderstands the circumstances. Gandalf immediately rides for Minas Tirith, chief city of Gondor, taking Pippin with him.
Unusually for 20th century novels, the prose narrative is supplemented throughout by over 60 pieces of poetry. These include verse and songs of many genres: for wandering, marching to war, drinking, and having a bath; narrating ancient myths, riddles, prophecies, and magical incantations; and of praise and lament (elegy).[14] Some, such as riddles, charms, elegies, and narrating heroic actions are found in Old English poetry.[14] Scholars have stated that the poetry is essential for the fiction to work aesthetically and thematically, as it adds information not given in the prose, and it brings out characters and their backgrounds.[15][16] The poetry has been judged to be of high technical skill, reflected in Tolkien's prose; for instance, he wrote much of Tom Bombadil's speech in metre.[17]
lord of the rings mordor pdf 195
The bearers of the rings gained great wealth and prestige and became "mighty in their day, kings, sorcerers, and warriors of old". Although the rings prolonged their lives so that they seemed to have unending lives, life became unendurable for them. The rings turned them invisible and enabled them to see things of the Unseen. But over time depending on their native strength and their initial good or evil will they succumbed to the domination of their rings and the rule of One Ring that was worn by Sauron and their bodily forms faded until they became permanently invisible and turned into wraiths.[3]
The Dwarves of Erebor spoke of a rider who had come to offer Sauron's friendship and ask about Hobbits. As a token of their friendship he asked for a "trifle", a ring, "the least of rings", that the thief had stolen.[8][note 2]
Only a few of the Nazgûl are named or identified individually. Their leader was the Witch-king of Angmar, and his second in command was named Khamûl. Khamûl was a lord of Easterlings,[31] and was the only Nazgûl known by his name. Three of them were Númenóreans.[1]
Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.72
Dark Faces. We have not seen Men like these before, no, Sméagol has not. They are fierce. They have black eyes, and long black hair, and gold rings in their ears; yes, lots of beautiful gold. And some have red paint on their cheeks, and red cloaks; and their flags are red, and the tips of their spears; and they have round shields, yellow and black with big spikes. Not nice; very cruel wicked Men they look. Almost as bad as Orcs, and much bigger.300
guys it doesnt matter what was better written or what has lots more to it!! it is about what you enjoyed more what let you escape from the real world and to harry potter did just the thing it let me escape and let me be free. Im not saying lord of the rings is rubbish because i think it great but i always seemed to like harry potter more i just grew with it. And yes HP may be for a younger audience but it does not stop adults from enjoying it i know lots of adults who enjoy harry potter. so i think they are both good but harry potter is more enjoyable and you actually feel for the characters.
ive never read the lord of rings. But i think harry potter is epicccc! Ive seen all the movies but i dont remember them. im reading harry potter books right now! and everytime someone says u kno who i say voldemort? =D
HP IS SO MUCH BETTER!!!!i know i haven`t read lord of the rings but my brother tellls me every detail i can predict every word thet will come out of his mouth!!!!and death eaters have WAY cooler faces then orks!!!Dumbledore is much more powrful till he dies and harry potter is much better then frodo as a charecteur in every movie because he is much more real and intreaging then a frodo (yes frodo is a good actor, one of my favorites)but i dont wanna say lotr sucks because is dosenet harry potter just has a better story and if you read #3 then you will know that is a mystery, murder, magic(MMM)and some arent but by far the 3rd book is best harry potter book and it`s not predicable
@AnonymousDumbledore IS a ripoff of GandalfFred and George ARE ripoffs of Merry and PippinHarry Potter IS mostly a ripoff of FrodoRon is a BAD ripoff of SamNo-nose-Voldermort is a terrible ripoff of SauronAlso, Rowling put almost no effort into her work. JRR Tolkien put timelines, family trees, languages, songs, and all sorts of other stuff.Harry potter is a boring novel for kids.Lord of the rings is a detailed and deep novel.Also, HP is super BORING.Almost all of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th books are spent entirely in his school life, which is even more boring. Then at the end he meets Voldy and has a fight. The books are all basically the same. 2ff7e9595c
