			<description><![CDATA[ I have a student who submitted a story called &quot;The Battle of the Eagles&quot; I am certain that this is not his work, but am unable to find it anywhere. It involves Bilbo standing on Ravenhill, watching a battle between the Eagles and creatures called Tarens during the Battle of the Five Armies. ALso involves a character called &quot;Daktail&quot;. Is this familiar to ANYONE? Please email.... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Do you ever wonder why hobbits act like hobbits? Why do they choose to shut out the world and why aren't they up to date on current events. Maybe they hear what they want to hear or maybe they are frightened but they sit comfortably and remain naive. Their attitude and motives are most peculiar indeed.<br><br>-Matt ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ There are several examples in the Hobbit of birds acting as messengers. In the case of the ravens, what they said could be understood by all, but with the thrushes it was only a certain bloodline, and then there were the eagles. Yet all of the examples had the birds on the side of good.<br><br>In the LOTR, birds are much more ambiguous. Most of the references, with the exception of the Eagles have them spying and working for the other side.<div class='signature'>Finduilas<br><a... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ I just watched &quot;the Hobbit&quot; for the 2nd time in my life after watching &quot;the Lord of the Rings&quot; movie. Being that I watched &quot;the Hobbit&quot; when I was young, it was nice to see it again after 17 years. I have only one question. I was wondering if anyone knew who was the voice of Gandalf in &quot;the Hobbit&quot;. I could swear he sounds like Robert Preston but I can't find the info on the 'net anywhere.

I was in NEED for a good adjective or simile or something! I looked to my left at the bookshelves next to my desk and noticed a few novels boasting the name TOLKIEN on their bindings. <br>I picked up &quot;The Hobbit&quot; and was so absorbed in this story that I forgot about my chemistry test! <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img... ]]></description>
