The scenes that made the biggest impression? Oh gosh!! There isn't even room on this board to even start!! LOL

The contest between Gimli and Legolas in Helm's Deep. That was the humor and hope in a seemingly hopeless situation.

The choices of Master Samwise. Enough said!! LOL...that was just...OMG!! It broke my heart to read that.

The Gray Havens. I cried when I read this part. I was just sobbing!! I ran to my Mom and cried on her lap asking why! Then I listened to the radio broadcast (my mom has the tapes) and I cried at that part again!! And again in the movie! That part was just so beautifully written and yet ...bittersweet best describes it.

The part that got me in the Fellowship was Boromir. So tragic and misunderstood. So horribly flawed and yet he represented humanity to a T. So strong and yet so weak. I love Aragorn and Sam is my favorite. But Boromir...he represents humanity, strengths and weaknesses.

Sam is my favorite character. He represents the good in the world. THe love and the hope and the simplicity of everything.

I'm more of the whole character person. Although I do agree with Cinderella on the quote: "Don't go where I can't follow." Even now that makes me want to cry.

I'm going to get my tissue now! There are just too many beautiful parts. It's all beautiful. Too many made such an impression. The depths of the passion with which Tolkien wrote. How could anyone escape without an impression of at least one thing?
