THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING

   The book begins in a Ship, where Bilbo Bolson´ party takes place. There are a lot of people, but suddenly, he disappears with a magic ring. The wizard Gandalf, Bilbo´s friend, knew his secret and there was a small argument with him, because he refused to give the ring to Frodo. Bilbo gives the ring to Frodo and Gandalf tells him the history of the ring. He tells Frodo that they are going to meet in Rivendell, where the fate of the ring will be decided. So Frodo, Sam, Pippin and Merry, agree to go there.

They enter in the Old Forest to avoid the paths, but they are trapped by Old Man Willow, however, a mysterious man named Tom Bombadil saves them. A few days later, the hobbits arrive at the Barrow-downs, where the Barrow-wights captured them, but Tom Bombadil appeared again and saves them, giving them weapons to  defend themselves during their journey.

Once in Bree, the hobbits come to the inn “The Prancing Pony” to sleep there. There, they meet two friends of Gandalf, called Aragorn and Nob who escape when the Nazgul attack the inn that night. The next day, accompanied by Aragorn, the hobbits leave for Rivendell, but in the trip, the Nazgul attack them and hurt  Frodo seriously.  After fighting, they escape to Rivendell with Glorfindel.

Days later, Frodo awoke in Rivendell. They must go to a council. There, Elrond says that the ring must be destroyed in the fires of Orodruin. That mission is going to be carried out  by “the Fellowship of the Ring” which is formed by Frodo, Sam, Pippin, Merry, Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli and Boromir.

The Community begins the journey. Through Hollin,  they reach the Misty Mountains and definitely go to the Mines of Moria. When they arrive at the gate of the mines, a Kraken appears and attacks them, but the community runs into the mines. They come to the House of Mazarbul, where a lot of orcs attack them. After killing a few, the Community tries to escape and reach the bridge of Khazad Dûm. There  a Balrog, who Gandalf threw over the bridge, appeared again but as he fell, he took the wizard with his whip.

Feeling sad because of Gandalf´s death, the characters come to the forest of Lothlorien, where some elves help them giving three elven boats to sail along the river Anduin. When they reach the meadows of Parth Galen, Frodo turned away and Boromir follows him.  He tries to convince him not to destroy the Ring and takes him to his city to defend Sauron.  After the refusal of the hobbit, Boromir tries to take the Ring and Frodo runs away with Sam in one of the boats.
