Fellowship of the Ring Chapter 8
 |
| The Barrow-Downs |
In chapter 8, the four hobbits continue on and it starts to get very foggy. They get lost and end up separated. The last thing that Frodo remembers is his horse rearing up, him being unseated, and knocked out. I think that the people in the Barrow-Downs are not so friendly and they did this to Frodo, Merry, Pippin, and Sam. This is quite odd because all hands are attached to an arm which is connected to a body Frodo wakes and sees a bodiless hand creeping toward his chained companions. so he uses a nearby sword to chop it up into pieces. He sings the hymn that would bring Tom Bombadil to him. Tom appears and helps the hobbits out of their plight.I would love to be able to sing a song and have help appear instantly. All around them are jewels and gold and swords. Tom retrieves their ponies and sends them along. He is defiantly an ally that Frodo has.
I KNEW he was a good guy!!!
ReplyDeleteI liked the character of Tom Bomadil as well. Too bad he isn't in the movie!
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures that you've posted as well as the report on this chapter. My son would agree with you, as he likes to sing too. Only his song would include Care Bears.
ReplyDeleteTom Bombadil on screen would have been an unmitigated disaster. There is singing, hopping, and entirely too much hokum for the tone set by the tale. That being said, I always thought Mick Jagger would make an excellent Bombadil.
