Gandalf

The Lord of the rings The two towers book blog 1
This is the second book in the series and it starts of with the death of one of the 9 people in the followhip. Frodo and sam are missing and so is marry and pippin. Aragon, Legolas and gimili finds Boromir dead and penetrated with arrows. The make out that the don't have any time to bury him so they decide lay him in one of the elven ships that they got from lady Galadrien and celeborn (the masters of lothlorien) When they are about to push the boat in the to river so it can take Boromir son of denathor on anduin all the way down to the falls of rauros where he will fall down and journey to the sea. Argon notice that one of the hobbits backpacks are missing besides frodo whom had told only Aragon he was leaving. He makes out that the backpack belong to samwise gamgee. That means Sam has gone along with his master on his journey rather then staied with the rest of the fellowship. Aragons mind comes to a sudden clarity and understand that he can not help frodo by following him. He must help him in different ways. For the fate of all lies in frodos hands. Aragon, Legolas and gimili decides to pursue the orcs that kidnapped mariadoc brandybuck marry and Peregrin took (the names of marry and pippin) Aragons heart speaks clearley atlast and feels that this is the right thing to do.  
  On the presuite 
Aragon, Legolas and gimili are falling behind the orcs and they are losing the trail but suddenly when the have passed in the the kingdom of Rohan and following the orc for several days they see a large group of Rohirim (the soldiers of Rohan who are talented riders and swordsmen. They have along talk and finaly after many agrees and disagrees they part way with blessing on both sides. Aragon, Legolas and gimili even are given 2 horses so they can make haste. The rohirim however tells them that the salyed the orcs last night and they left no survivors.
  In the following two chapters you follow marry and pippin. They are scared and thinks both that they are alone but they find one another eventually. They figure out that there are three different kinds of orcs. The isengarders, the orcs from mordor and the orcs from the misty mountins. they can not understand echothers toungs so they speak in the toung of men. (wich marry and pippin also do)
This is fortunate from them so they understand what they say. The different types of orc argue about what to to with them. The isengarders want to bring them to S
aruman as they where comanded by him to do! The other two types of orcs want to kill them or bring them to Sauron directley. atlast they stop fighting and start a fire going and guard the two prisoners. But then the Rohirim show up and marry and pippin takes to moment to their advantedge and flee. They did however flee into Fangorn forest wich celeborn the elf-lord warned the fellowhip about. both of them climb up to a tree and try to figure out where they are. pippin says that he thinks the forest looks beautiful. Then a voice answers him but it is not marry and so they look down and find to their suprise that the "tree" is alive! It is not only alive it can see, walk and talk! They quickly make their minds to be as polite as possible. The tree likes this and gives them his name wich is treebeard. They became friends not to long after they met. Treebeard and the two hobbits ( their kin is called hobbits) talk about everything from the wind to the elderdays wich ofcoure marry and pippin know nothing about. Treebeard tells the hobbits he has to do something about Saruman. Saruman is a wizard who has betrayed the free folk of middle earth and tries to claim power himself. And so he has created an army och orcs. to keep the furaces going he has to cut down trees and Fangorn is right outside his fortress Orthanc, and so he cut down a few acres. This makes treebeard devestated and therefor ha calls a meeting of calld in elvish ent moort. There the ents will decide if they will go to war.
  These books are the best thing  I have ever dicided to do! I LOVE the movies and are a lunatic in this area. First of all the books are extreamly similar to the movies so it is hard form me to see a different picture then the one I alredy have. I feel hoever that tolkien describes it better. Although he makes some thing sound a litte boring. Take treebeard for example he describes him as a man atleast 16 feet and he has a tierd look and a long beard. He also has a brown skin almost like brown bark but they are not sure. In the movie treebeard looks amazing and really cool. I get a very boring picture of him from the book. My conclusion however is that This book is simply great. Tolkien makes you see middle earth in a very clear picture like only he can. over and out.

  1. Firstly, I am sorry for not commenting your post earlier. I wrote a comment and then it all disappeared, which my mood also did. I am happy to hear that your understanding of the book gets better when you can listen to the text. You give a really good summary and it is obvious that you like this kind of book. How nice that you chose a book you really like. You also give good reflections of the content and your interpretations of the characters are well described. The post is a bit messy – you might want to try to make it more organized so it becomes easier to follow for the reader.
    Keep up the reading!=)
