Samwise the Brave

Sorry about my post yesterday; I was a little looooopy. Not that that's unusual for me, but whatever. I've been so bored today; honestly, I can't remember anything I did that is worth writing about. I don't even remember what I did for most of the day! What did I do today...? Wonderful, I can't remember. Even more important: whenn was the last time I ate? I have no idea. Did I have lunch?!

Crap, I don't think this is good.

I'm sorry I've been so uninteresting lately. I should blow up the school or somehing so I actually have something to write about.

Oh! I know what I did today; I got three packs of gum, two books, and a pair of really warm and fuzzy PJ pants. They're black with all these different colored snowflakes on them. No, wait, I did that last night. Never mind.

I still ahve no idea what I did today. Wait, I watched LOTR again. But I was kind out of it the whole time; I was reading. But I got a really nice quote from Sam. It's long, so I'm gonna write it because I have nothing else to do with my life!

"It's like in the Great Stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes, you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer. Those are the stories that stayed with you; the ones that meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, that I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didnt't. They kept going. Because they were holding onto something." Sam says.

"What are we holding onto, Sam?" Frodo whispers.

"That there's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for."

The quote is really the first monologe, I just added the rest of the scene. Also because Sam's last line is really powerful. But really, isn't Sam right? The books you remember and the one's you love are the ones with danger and darkness. And you do wonder how everything can be OK when all that bad stuff has happened. Darkness will pass. People aren't stuck in a well of sadness and gloom. Because you can fight to climb out, and yell and scream for help. And someone will come. If you yell loud enough, and try hard enough, help always will come to those who truly seek it. And you know, the characters never gave up. They kept fighting because they knew that they had soemthing to fight for; something that needed to fight for because no one else would.

There is some good in the world. And it's worth fighting for.
