"There lies the woods of Lothlorien! That is the fairest of all the dwellings of my people. There are no trees like the trees of that land. For in the autumn their leaves fall not, but turn to gold. Not till spring comes and the new green opens do they fall, and the boughs are laden with yellow flowers; and the floor of the wood is golden, and golden is the roof, and its pillars are of silver, for the bark of the trees is smooth and grey"
pg 349 The Fellowship of the Ring.
Tolkien does a great job of describing the
surrondings of his characters. This greatly enhances the ability of the
reader to picture what he is trying to portray in his book. Here
Legolas is describing the woods of Lothlorien where Galadrial one of the
wisests eleves and oldest in all of Middle Earth. She is one of the 3
holders of the rings of power that were given to the elves. It is one of
the few areas of the world where there is no darkness as Sauron is
unable to enter it.
If Frodo lived in the real world he would consider it a relief. In the real world he wouldnt have to face demons and gollums and armies of orc and a giant red eye. He already held the pressure of the whole world as the fate of relied on his ability to drop a ring into a volcano. I really don't see how any kind of preassure in this world can exceed that. If there is anything that needs to be done to save the world you could count on Frodo to accomplish it.
If ever in our world we needed someone to do a task no one else could do we would be able to count on Frodo. I think he would do anything he could to preserve freedom. He is someone that can relied upon even in the most desperate situations. No matter how dangerous the quest would be Frodo would be able to complete it and solve the problems.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST
