Comments:

Entry One - good concept. (I'm going to do some criticism now, please don't feel bad) The actual execution needs to be rethought, though. It makes for an almost monotonous read - mix up the sentence structure from noun-verb, noun-verb. Good detailing, though.

Entry Two - again, good concept, but having a monologue as the body makes the piece seem like a contrived frame for a patriotic essay.

Entry Three - mmm, nice. It doesn't 'feel' canonically consistent, but a nice way of working the description.

Entry Four - effective, good job!

my vote:
1. Entry Four
2. Entry Three
3. Entry Two
4. Entry One

1. Entry 4--Very nice job! Believable and touching.
2. Entry 3--Good job as well. I liked your description a lot. It was very vivid. A few technical details bumped you down to second, but you did very well.
3. Entry 1--I liked your idea a lot. The thoughts of the man seemed realistic and it was very memorable. As Valera said, your sentence structure could be more varied, but good job all the same.
4. Entry 2--I liked your description of Osigiliath. For whatever reason, using Faramir and Pippin as your characters didn't work for me. Your Faramir has a strong voice, which is a good thing, but it is naturally a different voice than Tolkien's. I think it would have been better if you had created your own characters.

Good job everyone, I enjoyed reading your entries.
