Okay. I'm sure this has been talked about millions of times but...I'm new. I have a paper I'm writing and I just need a few examples of scenes that were in the book but not in the movie. Anyone know of any just off the top of your head? I kinda need this wrote by tomorrow morning... Thanks in advance

FotR: Tom Bombadil, The Barrow-Downs, the Hobbits staying with Gildor and the other elves in the woods, The scenes in Crickhollow with Frodo's house, the selling of Bag End the the Sackville-Bagginses, the scene at Farmer Maggots' houseTTT: Boromir's death (it was in the FotR movie instead) Shelob's lair (will be in RotK instead) Gandalf and co. going to Isengard the stuff with the palantir Legolas and Aragorn singing about Boromir(isn't in either movie) the scene where Gandalf gives Legolas, Aragorn, and Gimli their messages from Galadriel the ent-draught(will be in extended edition)I don't have TTT movie yet, so I don't know it as well as FotR. I'm sure there are more in both, but that's all I can think of now.
