When I first started reading TTT, I liked Merry and Pippin's journey because it was thrilling and I wanted to know if they would die or not. Pippin being my favorite character at the time, I definitly didn't want that to happen. <P>But as time progressed and I read on past the journeys of Aragorn and Pippin and all the rest, I came to a very interesting part of the book----Book 4 of Lord of the Rings. <P>Frodo and Sam's journey took my breath away. The friendship and loyalty they had to each other made me wish I was in Middle Earth even more than I already did. I wished that I could have a friend like Sam in real life. I mean, he risked his life just for loyalty to his "master". I seemed connected to this part of the story more than anything else. I almost felt as if Tolkien had drug me into the story with them. It was amazing. To this day, Frodo and Sam's journey stays my favorite part of the books, and Sam is now, and forever, my favorite character. <P>Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli's journey was exciting at times...as was Merry and Pippin's. But Frodo and Sam definitly touched my heart and changed my outlook on life. I loved it.<P>EDIT: And seeing I forgot I was in the Movies section, everything I said about the books applies to when I watched the movies as well.<p>[ April 25, 2003: Message edited by: Eruwen ]
