Silmaril I haven't read the Silm in about a year, so correct me if I am wrong...

I admit that I never fully understood the death of elves. They go to the Undying Lands, which is also called Aman, beyond the Great Sea. But you can also sail there, right? So let's say Elladan and Elrohir (just for example ) are in a battle. Elrohir is slain and Elladan wishes to see him again. Can Elladan just sail to Aman and find his brother? This is how I understood it.

Hobbits may be regarded as a variant of Men, I think.
But men can't sail to Aman, right? So what was the point in Frodo, Bilbo, and possibly Sam going? Perhaps they are regarded the same as elves... But they are not of the Firstborn.

Someone help me.
