Character information:
Tell us about your character: :
In the tranquil village of Brockenborings, nestled in the heart of the Shire, there lived a hobbit named Glablo Thistlebrook, known affectionately as Glo. Unlike many hobbits who found joy in farming and feasting, Glo had a heart that resonated with the melodies of Middle-earth.
From a young age, Glo discovered his innate talent for crafting tunes. He would often be found sitting by the Water, weaving magical melodies on his lute that echoed through the rolling hills surrounding his home. His minstrelsy had an ethereal quality that brought joy to the hearts of those who had the pleasure of listening.
Glo's life took an unexpected turn when a wandering minstrel named Harmony Swiftwind recognized his musical prowess. Harmony saw the potential in Glo and offered to guide him in the ancient art of minstrelsy. Under Harmony's mentorship, Glo not only mastered the intricacies of various instruments but also learned how music could inspire and heal.
As the years passed, word of Glo's musical talents spread throughout Brockenborings, and he became a cherished figure in the gatherings of the village. His music had the remarkable ability to lift spirits and bring solace to troubled hearts. When shadows began to gather in distant lands, Glo felt a calling to use his gift for a higher purpose.
Armed with his lute and a courageous heart, Glo set out on a journey beyond Brockenborings. He ventured into unexplored territories, seeking to share his melodies and spread hope in the face of adversity. Along the way, he encountered challenges, forged new friendships, and discovered the transformative power of his music.
Glo, the hobbit minstrel, continued to weave his enchanting tunes as he roamed the diverse landscapes of the Shire. Whether in the cozy inns of Hobbiton or the mystical groves hidden deep within the Green Hill Country, his melodies became a source of inspiration, reminding all who listened that even in the darkest times, the power of music could bring warmth and light to the hearts of those in need.

Tolkien:
Have you read the books or seen the movies? What are your favourite scenes or images? :
I have only read the first two chapters of the Hobbit in middle school. (Though I have the books coming from Amazon next week.) I have however seen the movies. One of my favorite scenes was in the Lord of the Rings where Gollum brings a dead animal to Frodo and Sam to eat.
This scene is a captivating and memorable moment for several reasons. First and foremost, it showcases the complexity of Gollum's character. In this scene, Gollum is not merely a malevolent force but reveals a more vulnerable and pitiable side as he tries to contribute to the group's survival.
The juxtaposition between Frodo's and Sam's reactions to Gollum's gesture adds depth to the scene. Frodo, embodying compassion and understanding, allows Gollum to share in their meager meal, emphasizing Frodo's empathetic nature even in the face of adversity. On the other hand, Sam, who remains wary of Gollum's intentions, represents a contrasting perspective, highlighting the constant tension and mistrust within the group.
The act of cooking and sharing the meal becomes a metaphor for the bonds of fellowship and the shared struggles of the characters. In this moment, despite their differences and the weight of the journey, they find a brief respite in a simple act of cooking and sharing food. The scene beautifully captures the theme of friendship and the fragile alliances formed in the midst of a perilous quest.
Furthermore, the setting, with its harsh and desolate landscape, enhances the significance of the meal. The characters' ability to find comfort and sustenance in such a hostile environment underscores the resilience of the human spirit and the capacity for hope even in the darkest of times.
Ultimately, this scene stands out as a poignant exploration of character dynamics, trust, and the endurance of friendship against the backdrop of Middle-earth's challenges. Its emotional depth, character development, and thematic richness contribute to making it a favorite for those who appreciate the nuanced storytelling in "The Lord of the Rings."
