Passages

"Just as the goblins were recovering from the onslaught and the elf-charge was halted, there rose from across the valley a deep-throated roar. With cries of “Moria!” and “Dain, Dain!” the dwarves of the Iron Hills plunged in, wielding their mattocks, upon the other side; and beside them came the men of the lake with long swords.". I chose that passage because it explains the scenario and what is happening. It gives you more of an understanding so you can visualize the scene. It helps you understand and be involved in the story. 

"That day passed and the night. The next day the wind shifted west, and the air was dark and gloomy." I chose this as my passage because i think it shows the picture well and helps paint the picture in my mind. I can understand what's happening more because i can imagine what's happening.

"Now the days passed slowly and wearily. Many of the dwarves spent their time piling and ordering the treasure; and now Thorin spoke of the Arkenstone of Thrain, and bade them eagerly to look for it in every corner." I think this is a good passage because with detail, it describes what's happening. I can visualize what the author was imagining and it helps me understand the story better.
