Frodo and Sam’s Journey with the Eagle in The Lord of the Rings

The Lord of the Rings series is not only a great work of literature, but also a legendary trilogy in cinema. It is loyalty, suffering, friendship, hope and, in our country, a little “Why didn’t they take the ring away with the eagles?” goygoyu. However, the distance that Sam and Frodo covered is not such a short distance at all, it is a distance that is enough to take the eagles under control for the One Ring.

Although it seems like the distance is not that long on Mordor maps or in the movies, Sam and Frodo are actually thousands of kilometers They are going on a journey. Moreover, they do this under harsh conditions, often hiding and fighting, barefoot in difficult terrain. This journey is not like going to Beylikdüzü by metrobus, it is a journey that will make you fall in love with going to school in the village as told in the old days.

In order to make distances more understandable and visualize them, we can start with examples from our own world. Euphrates, as it is known among us Fırado Let’s say a friend of ours is getting married.

He was going to make a surprise marriage proposal to the girl and since he was our very close friend, we said “Okay buddy, I’ll take you, let’s go by car, Let it be a road trip head.“ We wouldn’t have said so, because Fırat tells us the road in parts, and we later learn that there is a long way.

Fortunately, we had money, a passport, a visa and a We have “Eagle” while embarking on this journey.

Kartal, a car, burns 7.9 liters of gasoline per 100 kilometers. We are also setting off. “I’m on a long and narrow road, I’m going day and night” is playing on the radio. The gas issue is important because Fırado’s rich uncle will pay us the money on our return.

When we learned that the girl’s family had moved away, we decided not to spoil the surprise. the subject is from the neighbor We find out where they went. Pojega They went to a place called, we are going 280 kilometers. It gives us some relief that we still don’t have to change countries.

When we went there, the family was not very used to it. We learn that they moved again. “Dude, call the girl and ask.” When we say, Fırat tells us “You need to ask your family first, this is our custom.” says.

They say the girl is in another city on business.

We drove 247 kilometers and finally got to where the girl worked. To Zirovnica in Slovenia we are coming. Although the girl’s co-workers gave us harsh answers at first, one of the girls knows Fırat. Our aunt-in-law says that our candidate is on a business trip, writes the name of the place they went to on a piece of paper and hands it to us.

Sixth Stop: Morannon

Our hobbits, who walked only 177 kilometers more, thus found themselves in morannon well At the Black Gates They find it. No one will open this door for them, so they decide to follow a path through the mountains.

To the place where the conference our future sister-in-law attended was held, in Italy. in residence We are going to the settlement called. “We’ve come a long way, but okay, Resultante Importante” I’m trying to make a joke with words, but Fırado is fed up, Fırado is angry, Fırado doesn’t laugh at my joke. There is dead silence in the car.

Seventh Stop: Minas Morgul and Mount Doom

At the end of the journey, Sam and Frodo Passing through Minas Morgul to Mount Doom reaching. To achieve this, they walk another 112 kilometers.

We learn about the hotel where the girl is staying from the staff at the fairgrounds. After his meetings at the fair were over, he must have wanted to have a holiday because he chose a hotel in a far away place, a neighborhood by the sea. To Aprilla Marittima We reach. Not only do we reach her, we also find the girl.

Frodo struggles with himself to throw the ring into the fire.

Fırado is preparing himself to propose.

The One Ring falls into the fires of Mount Doom.

Fırat kneels down and takes off the ring.

Sauron’s tower begins to collapse as the One Ring disintegrates in the fire.

When the girl did not accept the offer, Fırat, who was already on his knees, completely to collapse starting.

The eagles rescue the exhausted hobbits from the burning mountain.

With Kartal, we rescue the exhausted Fırat from there.

At the end of The Lord of the Rings, Aragorn tells the hobbits, “My friends, bow your knees to no man.”

While we were on the road, I said to Fırat, “It’s not the end of the world, son, don’t collapse.” we say.

Hobbits travel 440 hours in total 2137 kilometers The road is walked. We spend 36 hours on the road. On the road too “So if we go all this way straight to Stuttgart “we fixed it” we think. The price of 167 liters of gasoline we burn in Türkiye is 6112 TL holding.

Of course, this is the expense we would incur under normal circumstances. The closer we get to Mordor Our car will drive in 1st gear on hills It would consume even more fuel. Of course, we also hope that we will not leave the undercarriage of the vehicle somewhere. Maybe it would have been better if we had come with Taurus, and so when asked how to take the ring to the Council of Elrond, Frodo said, “Are we here for nothing, brave man?” he would say.
