Blog Post #1 - The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers - JRR Tolkien - Jared Rogerson

For this Quarter, I am reading the book The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers by JRR Tolkien. This book, along with the rest of the series, is a classic fantasy novel. For this first week, I have read from page 1- 77.

Frodo Baggins is a hobbit who is very adventurous, and also really cares about his friends and companions. One of his friends, Sam Pippin, would describe Frodo as a very brave hobbit, who is also very caring and maybe a little bit out of his mind. If Frodo were to put one thing into a time capsule, I think it would be the Ring if he didn't manage to destroy it, because it is very powerful and he holds it dearly. Whats important about the Ring is that it has ultimate power, and it deceives the mind of good beings to do evil things. If people 100 years in the future would find this, they would be fascinated by it and probably keep it, which would lead to them getting controlled by the Rings' power and then being manipulated into doing evil things.
