yeah, it was Gurthang, I knew Galrung was the Dragon

Aha! So it was Gurthang! And don't worry about it. We all have those moments. I do stuff like that all the time. At least you knew it began with 'G'. I was clueless,and I just read it!

it is a very sad story.i dont read it often cos i like a hapy ending.

I like sad stories....lol

I like them sometimes. I guess I have to be in the mood for them though. If I'm in a good mood, I feel like they kind of pull me down a little. But if I'm in a melancholy mood, then I feel like they sympathize with my sadness and they even make me feel a little better sometimes. Maybe because I realize how good they make my life seem compared to the hardships the characters face. i think that was definitely the case for me with Nienor or Turin.

^^*trys to understand what she just said** LOL

Sorry. I know I don't make sense sometimes. Well, at least, I always make sense to myself, but very rarely to other people.

aww..its alright

Thanks. Don't worry about it. I'm not hurt or anything.
I love your avatar by the way. I love Chrinicles of Narnia. Lucy and Mr. Tumnus are my favorite. But that's for another thread.

Have you heard about the new Tolkien book coming out? It's supposed to be all about the children of Hurin, namely, Nienor and Turin. I wonder if Lalaith (is that the right name?) will also be included. I just thought you shoudl know since you love the story so much.

Yeah, My Brother told me about that new book. He doesnt even know who Hurin is, but I was like "hey, I know who that is!!"

I would so wanna get it, if it had Niniel and Turin in it. I wonder if Morwen would be in it at all?

First of all , hi to everyone in the Forum, I joined yesterday and am enjoying the dicussion on the forum so far, it a buzzing place to be!!!!!!
the tale of the children of Hurin is one of my favourite stories. It is quite a bittersweet story in that the lives of Morrwen, Hurin, Turin, nienor and others are ruined because of Morgoth's Curse on the Children of Hurin and the fact that Turin, after killing Glaurung should have been a standard for the remnants of Elves and men to rally about but instead, the evil of glaurung and Morgoth taints this and after his victory, causes his suicide. The results of that curse and Turins actions caused the one of the greatest victories scored by the Edain but brought some of the greatest ruin to elves and men at the same time.
Ironic huh??????? 8)

To answer your question to TrueNarnian, I love Chronicles of Narnia, and I think C. S. Lewis is a great author, but Tolkien will always come first in my heart.

I find it hard to see the sweet in this story, and find myself focusing only on the bitter. The only good I find to come out of it is the slaying of Glaurung, who was a great enemy. The rest of the story, seems to me to fairly drip with sorrow. There wasn't many happy moments. I can't even properly enjoy the love story of Turin and Nienor, because the whole time I keep thinking about how wrong it is, since they're brother and sister. It's not that it's a bad story, it's just tragic.

How do you know what truenarnian thinks Tinuviels Tears and also its cool because @ the Dagor Dagorath Turin will kill Morgoth when he comes back and ends the curse that his house was put under by Morgoth.
What does everyone Know about the Dagor Dagorath? Mail back with a few more Details for debate!!

I don't know what TrueNarnian thinks Eonwe, I was merely stating my own opinion because I'm a fan of the Chronicles too, even if my username doesn't show it quite so clearly as TrueNarnian's.

Also, I know nothing about Dagor Dagorath because I can't remember anyting about it except that it is a battle, and I keep thinking of Dagor Bragollach which I know is not the same thing. Turin never came back and defeated Morgoth though. I wish he had. It would have been a more uplifting story had he done so. Or, are you thinking about what would happen if Turin had come back? I didn't quite catch what you were trying to say there.
