just a bunch of facts thrown together. i wrote them myself. woo hoo.

Orc- screwed up elves who fight for evil. they dont know love or happiness, just hate (tear). they are weak when it comes to light and stuff like that, so pretty much they like the dark (surprize!). they spend their time working for Sauron or Saurumon (however the heck it is spelled). they chop down trees and everybody hates them. except a couple of us, because we see how incredibly hott they are (puuuuur). haha that was a joke. they are vicious (o snap! vocab word!!)! plus, they have pointy ears. mwahahahahaha!

Ents- ents are tree looking thing-a-ma-bobs that protect the forests and stuff. they are also known as tree herders. they are rather deformed looking, and they talk really slowly. it is very annoying for example, if one of them wanted to say their name, they would go-
"Hello............... liitle................. one...................(inhales loudly)........................ my name................(inhales again)..............is.................. tree....... beard......................"
so pretty much it would take them about 10 minutes to say that. they are also the oldest culture of Middle Earth. (ha! beat that!) ents have this rather odd language where they sway back and forth(aka entish). Treebeard (an ent, if you couldnt tell) came along and helped Merry and Pippin. Treebeard got miffed with the orc and Sauron for chopping down all of the trees, so treebeard and the other ents had a little fight with them. the ents won. woo hoo for them!

Uruk Hai- even more of screwed up elves than orc are. except they are better fighteres, are more (cough)"perfect". They dont waste thier time chopping down trees, so they eat people, and fight and....... yeah. so there. oh yeah, they are really strong and (ahem) smart. they were made by Saruman because he didnt think that the orc were good enough. they have black blood, and........ yeah. they dont weaken in sunlight, unlike orc. plus, they arent as hott as orc are. that was another joke. ha. they have pointy ears! mwahahahaha!

Elves- they live with santa, although they refuse to admit it. (ha i wish) all i have to say is that the elves are perfect in every freakin way. they are smart, yadayada, but dwarves hate them for some reason. watever. and the most annoying thing about LOTR, is that the elves look down upon humans so much it annoys me. well, not ALL of them, but most. its always "men are too greedy" or "men are so stupid", or "men? (scoffs) worthless!!". elves are cool, though. i mean, not the noble elves, because they bore be to death (except Haldir, he is cool.) i dont mean to dump on elves or anything, because they are a key rople in the whole buisness, but i just had to point that out. elves dont age, and live forever unless killed in battle. they have pointy ears! mwahahahaha!

Humans- come on, do I really have to explain this? o well. men are weak, stupid, worthless beings that are greedy and mean and boring and rude. so there. for some reason, Aragorn seems to be free of all of these traits. but then again, he was raised by elves.......... but isnt it human nature to be imperfect? humans are mortal, and we have the shortest life-span. was Tolkein just not a people person? they have rounded ears. wimps.

Dwarves- short ugly guys with beards. ok, i'll explain more. they have this kind of 'rivalry' with elves. the two just make fun of each other constantly. in other news, they use axes as thier weapons, they are so proud that it annoys the heck outta me, and they have these long, scraggly things on thier faces that they call "beards". They are awsome miners, but, they are too proud and greedy so they dig a little too deep sometimes........ (cough Moria) they have evil round ears. not that you can tell, because thir gigantic hair is blocking them.

Hobbits- hobbits are a very.......... lets keep it to "high standard" and peaceful race. they keep to themselves, and they are terribly short.(about 3 to 4 feet) they live in the Shire, a nice little country place where nothing ever goes wrong.(ish) they love to eat, so they have 6 meals a day. i wouldnt mind that....... but back to the story. they have curly hair and pointed ears! mwahahahaha!

Wizards- none of this Harry potter buisness. wizards were sent to Middle Earth to guide all the races to goodness, and they use those little sticks as thier means of magicness(okay, they're staffs, but Gandalf's was just a chunk of wood). the wizards are classified by color. for example, grey would be the second highest in the classification. The wizards were not allowed to join the forces of evil, but there is always one black sheep in the family who just had to go and help all evil. (gag Sarumon) round ears.

Ringwraiths- aka black riders or nazgul, they hunt down the ring for their master, Sauron. they have these terrible ear splitting screams, and wear black cloaks and these metal armor things on thier hands (i personally dont think they need them. they're dead, right?). the nazgul used to be kings that were given rings, but of course, men are too greedy, so they became evil. They used to ride on horses, but now thet just ride on these dragon things. thats ok with me, because i'm not much of a horse person. i'm allergic to them. oh yeah, we cant tell what thier ears are. i suppose they're round.... no wonder they're evil...... ok, wait. they dont have bodies, do they? well, i guess they kinda do, but when Frodo puts on the Ring, you can see their evil 'souls' or whatever they are and thier ears are round. so there. ha!

Gollum/Smeagol- he is just......... there. i dont know how to describe him. he used to be this hobbit type thing, but then the ring screwed him up. he has a couple strands of hair, greenish brownish grayish skin, and 2 personalities. one is nice and kind of naieve, and the second one is evil. yea, thats gollum for you. i guess he first got the evil one when it was his birthday and his friend found the ring in the water. smeagol wanted it, so he strangled his friend. when he got the ring, he became wierder and wierder. then he finally became gollum. (yay! ish) plus, he meets Frodo and Sam when they are trying to get to Mordor, and he shows them the way, and then somthing happens in ROTK that i cant tell you! pointyish ears. i guess hes ok then.
