Riddles In The Dark
Everyone remembers the 600 year old hobbit Gollum. He is the deceiving yet (in some parts) a very friendly creature. Gollum or Sméagol has the raspy voice and is always being tempted by his evil self. What drove him into being this horrid yet lovable creature was the ring. The ring used Gollum and kept him alive for 600 years! During those 600 years one of the most important events happened that later shaped all three of the L.O.T.R books.
When Gollum was 540 (60 years earlier) the ring abandoned Gollum. The ring did not expect for a hobbit to pick it up, it expected some dark master of evil. In my opinion Gollum (at the time) was evil enough. When Bilbo Baggins found the ring he hid it from Gollum ,but since Gollum had lost the ring he was angry and confused, not to mention hungry. Gollum made a deal with Bilbo that he would not swallow Bilbo whole if he could answer his riddles. Bilbo answered all the riddles correctly and then asked Gollum one question. "What is in my pocket?” That, to me is an unfair question but it all plays out in the end. Gollum figures it out and starts to chase Bilbo. That is the last we will see of him…. for now.
The Person who is the movements of Gollum is Andy Serkis. He was also the original Gollum in the Lord of the Rings. Andy has done lots of animated movements and one of his recent movies was ‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes’ in which he played as Caesar. Andy has lots of experience and I am glad that he can do more of for all of our entertainment.
What is Gollum in this world? In the ‘Hobbit’ and the L.O.T.R. series he is a nasty creature who lives in a dark, dark cave. Gollum is a pink and white flower that grows in South Africa. It can go a long time without water and is poisonous. That almost reminds you of Gollum in the ‘Hobbit’. He can be a pretty white and pink flower on the inside but the ring makes him poisonous. –Smaug
