Isn't this also how Eli escapes death?...slipping in and out of the shadows, running quick and quiet and keeping out of the sun;
so soon they went back, grumbling and cursing, to guard the door.
Bilbo had escaped.

It struck me today that the passage from The Return of the King that they used in the classroom scene was particularly appropriate:
...the story derives a lot of its appeal from its sense of despair and a darkness in which the love of Eli and Oskar seems to shine with a strange and disturbing light.

Re: LoTR Passage
I think that quotation is from The Hobbit, or There and Back Again novel, not the Lord of the Ring series. Nice catch -- I had wondered why that passage was used, sure it had some meaning...

Re: LoTR Passage
LOL. You're right. "Bilbo" should have tipped me off.
I guess I am not qualified to be a nerd.

Re: LoTR Passage
There is the part about avoiding the sun, but I also thought about Bilbo being a small child like creature that does unexpected things.
You really confused me with the title to this thread, LoTR-what?

I'll break open the story and tell you what is there. Then, like the others that have fallen out onto the sand, I will finish with it, and the wind will take it away.
