Just put stuff if you'd like that you did last minute that surprisingly got good/perfect scores. It doesn't have to be the exact thing, it could just be a story you want to share or something.

a mini book report i did last minute that was due in 30 minutes or so
"Title: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
Author: J.R.R Tolkien
Genre: Epic Fantasy
- The page you are currently on: 221
- The plot so far: After the Uruk'Hai attack on the Fellowship the majority of the fellowship is seperated, with Pippin and Merry being abducted by the Uruk'Hai, Frodo and Sam going off on their own to Mordor, and Aragorn Legolas and Glimli deciding to head after Pippin and Merry, after the proper funeral of Boromir. Shortly after the three head out to save Pippin and Merry, the trio encounter the now-banished Riders of Rohan, who say that the King of Rohan, Theoden had banished them all, and saying that they had slaughtered a camp of Uruk'Hai the following night. They supply the trio with horses, who ride to where they mentioned where they had killed the Uruk'Hai to atleast recover the bodies of Pippin and Merry. To their gladness, Pippin and Merry had survived the attack, escaping into the nearby woods and being under the protection of the ents, tree-like creatures who are wise, but very old and don't make decisions quickly. The trio head into the forest to recover Pippin and Merry, but are instead encountered by the White Rider, who informs them that the two are safe, and that they were needed in Rohan. After heading out of the Fangorn Forest and heading to Rohan, they discover that King Theoden had been being corrupted and influenced by his advisory, Wormtoungue, who works for Saruman. After the White Rider fully heals Theoden and sends Wormtoungue back to Isengard, the group, along with Theoden and the rest of Rohan, ride out to Helm's Deep, a huge fortified fortress located near a mountain, which was an ancient citadel Rohan used. After surviving an onslaught of attacks by the Uruk'Hai and Isengard, the soldiers able to fight ride out to Isengard, to take the fight there, however when the group reaches Isengard, they come to a flooded mess of a place, the only thing being recognizable being the single tower citadel of Isengard. During the battle of Helm's Deep, the ents had launched an attack onto Isengard themselves, destroying all of the remaining forces besides Saruman and Wormtoungue, who had been hiding inside the citadel. After confronting them, Saruman is killed, with a Palantir rolling out of his robes. The White Rider takes the Palantir, and they head back to shelter in order to discuss their next actions.
- Your overall commentary: What do you like and why? What, if anything, do you dislike?
As I say every time I do a reading blog on the series, I love the Lord of the Ring series, due to well, pretty much everything. The precise and clear imagery, the detailed battles, the fantastical world and how well it's described, the many hidden morals and characters along with their development. If I did have one thing I didn't like about the series, it would be that no movie except for the Peter Jackson movies do them justice, and even then the Peter Jackson movies for the Hobbit (the prequel to the Lord of the Rings) are something I would rather not mention...
Question of the Week:
1st Event: The Death of Boromir
During the Uruk'Hai onslaught at the beginning of the book, Boromir is killed defending Pippin and Merry, and although he fails in keeping them safe, he did a heck of a job doing it. Before he died, he took out dozens or Uruk'Hai, as well as taking multiple blows and 3 arrows directly to the chest, though he's eventually killed by arrows and the seemingly endless amounts of enemies.
2nd Event: Treebeard and the White Rider
The introduction of Treebeards and the Ents to the story, who make a huge difference by destroying Isengard, and although they don't appear much in the third book, they are still present in the lore of Middle-Earth (the world this takes place in), and overall change the story in a positive way. It's also fun to imagine it as "If you cut down trees the trees will fight back". And I can't say much about the White Rider without spoilers, but that he's a main character that's more than vital for the story, he in fact starts both the entire series and the prequel.
3rd Event: The "Awakening" of Theoden
Although this overall takes place in about 7-10 pages, and only a few minutes in the movie, it's still a major event, as Theoden had been being controlled by Wormtongue, and he is a "major" (not major like Aragorn, but an overall vital character to the story, despite not being a main character) character, who fights in the war with Aragorn and helps alot of the events in the third book, if not for him they would of lost the war.
4th Event: The Battle of Helm's Deep
The battle that takes place in Helm's Deep with the defenders being Rohan and some elven allies along with the trio of Aragorn, Legolas, Glimli, and the attackers being a huge Uruk'Hai legion, of about a couple hundred or even a little less than a thousand. To make a short summary, it's an extremely close battle, with many casualties on both sides, along with the walls of Helm's Deep being breached, but the battle is ended with reinforcements of the Riders of Rohan led by the White Rider, along with the Uruk'Hai, along with the orc's weakness, the Sun. Additionally the strongest defenders rode out on their horses for a final hurrah, with the Uruk'Hai legion being completely destroyed, those who ran were running into a forest of flesh-eating bushes and shrubs.
5th Event: Isengard and Saruman's Fall (get it he dies from falling)
The ending of Book III (everybody else) before Book IV (Frodo and Sam, though it's contained in the second book), the climax for Book III is that the able defenders along with Theoden and the trio ride to Isengard to bring the fight to them, but come to see it in ruins, the ents having attacked, with Pippin and Merry being safe, having been with the ents. They approach the citadel to talk with Saruman, who is pushed off the tower by Wormtoungue and impaled, a Palantir rolling out of his robes. The Palatinir's importance is explained in greater detail after the part I'm on currently, and in the third book too."
i would love to see saruman x emmeryn they both fall to their deaths so they could fall for eachother hahaha

I always do things at the last second and my grades are usually A's, though homework can drop it a little.
