LOTR Chapter Contest- Round Three
Every round will deal with a Lord of the Rings chapter, following the order of the books. I will provide you:
-a summary of what happens in the considered chapter (I'm sure we all know what happens, but it's better to have a summary I guess).
-some quotes from the considered chapter that you can use in your entries.
Now, what you will have to do, is, to make some sort of presentation to the considered chapter.
In this round the entry will consist of: a blend
of course you can use the movie screen captions from the scene we're considering, but you can also use other kind of pictures, whatever it comes to your mind, with no limits.
I hope this was clear, if not, don't hesitate to ask me futher informations. I also hope some of you will find it a nice idea.

Three is Company

-chapter summary:
Quote:
Gandalf is rather direct in the warning that he issues to Frodo at the start of the chapter: "You ought to go quietly, and you ought to go soon." Frodo takes quite a while to get ready for his departure though as he was very comfortable living at Bag End, Bilbo's house in the shire. Frodo does not know precisely where he is going to go and Gandalf explains a good deal to him about the necessary for secrecy. Frodo sells Bag End and he heads for Rivendell, which is the elf-town in the east. Apparently, this is where Bilbo was headed when he departed town.
As is expected, Frodo's sale of Bag End is a subject of gossip and most of the hobbits believe that when Frodo moved in with the help of a friend named Merry Brandybuck, he intended to stay in the little house in a place called Crickhollow. Meanwhile, Gandalf remains in the shire for about two months and in his next encounter with Frodo, he reiterates the warning concerning the ring: "don't use it!" Frodo still seems to be more concerned about his relatives, the Sackville-Bagginses and the inheritance of the belongings that he has left at Bag End. Packing continues with the help of Merry and Fredegar "Fatty" Bolger.
Frodo is now surrounded by a small company of compatriots: Sam, his father, Merry and Pippin. Frodo makes his way to Crickhollow, which is in Buckland, and not a moment too soon, for as they are leaving he overhears a voice asking questions about his location and departure. On the road, Frodo and the group hear hoof steps coming behind them and Frodo is overwhelmed with fear. The group goes into the shrubbery on the side of the road. The mysterious rider is dark and black, the face is obscured but the intent seems clearly ominous. Sam identifies the figure as the person who was asking questions earlier. The dark rider is scared away by the elves that arrive on the scene, singing. They keep the hobbits for the night and protect them, but they are gone in the morning.

-quotes from the chapter:
Quote:
He often used to say there was only one Road; that it was like a great river: it's springs were at every doorstep and every path was it's tributary. "It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out of your door," he used to say. "You step into the Road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no telling where you might be swept off to."

Quote:
Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.

And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Quote:
Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We'll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We'll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!
