Thanks muchly.

When Frodo is imprisoned in Cirith Ungol, Sam begins to sing in hopelessness and thereby learns Frodo's location. This event is mirrored very closely by a First Age event. What event is this?

Fingon singing on the cliffs of Thangorodrim and Maedhros' reply to him as he hung by his wrist.

Thanks!
What is the importance of a certain song of Glirhuin's?

In his song he said the Stone of the Hapless, where Morwen died, would never be defiled by Morgoth nor should it ever be cast into the sea

Bingo!

Túrin had some similarities with Aragorn. I'm thinking of a specific honor both received from the elves. What was it that they received?
