THE OLD FORESTMerry, Pippin, Sam, and Frodo head off to Rivendell. Freddy stays behind pretending to be Frodo. The first leg of their journey is through the Old Forest. There is a closeness and stuffiness to the Old Forest which starts to take its toll on our travellers. When they stop to rest they meet up with Old Man Willow and are caught in his trap. Then along comes a funny ole fellow (Tom Bombadil) to save the day. Questions to Ponder(please feel free to answer one, all, or none of the questions, they are here to help get you thinking about the chapter)

Would you prefer to stay behind like Fatty or go with Frodo?I would definatly want to go with Frodo! What do you think about the Old Forest?It's very interesting, and smart. I think it has a lot of history that is probaby very interesting. What is your reaction to the Willow Tree? How did Sam handle the Willow Tree's temptations/seductions? Why do you think Tolkien chose a willow tree?The Willow is really strange; it's like it has some sort of magic. I think maybe Tolkien used a willow because the look like they have some deep secret, at least to me. What do you think of Tom Bombadil?Tom Bombadil is really fun! He's one of my favorite charecters. He's more like a hobbit than anything else, but I wonder what he really is. I like Tom!
