The Fellowship of the Ring- Acrostic Poem

Kelsey Schmitt
Acrostic Poem

F-Friendly. Frodo Baggins is a social hobbit, a bit queer but pleasant enough by Hobbit standards. He does not disturb the peace although he does connect himself with those who do. Frodo indirectly stirs up trouble, at least by association.
R- remarkable. The fact that such a small being could bear a burden like that of the Ring of Power is amazing. Frodo should have crumbled under the influence of the Ring but he never swayed in his will to destroy it.
O- Optimistic. Frodo has very few doubts that they will make it to Mordor. He has faith in himself and the rest of the Fellowship that they will succeed.
D- Daring. The hobbit is not at all obliged to participate in this quest but he volunteers to attempt a dangerous journey into the heart of Evil's lair and destroy their most wanted item. "with a last effort, lifting up his sword, 'you shall have neither the Ring nor me!'" (227).
O-open minded. Under the influence of the Ring, Frodo is the only one of many present that does not fall to arguing. This is why he is selected to be ring-bearer because he can resist its power and keep an open mind and heart.
