I mean, honestly. No one knows what is going to happen in Book 7. I am waiting patiently and surviving.

The way I see it, when an author writes a story they have a reason for writing every sentence (at least in a good story). The author is writing to communicate a the meaning of the story to the audience.
So if people in the audience see something that the author did not intend, then they saw something that wasn't there. They would be leading themselves astray from the true story with their imagination.
I would like to get some other opinions on this though

Okay so I just finished the book Eragon (didn't see the movie). It was good, I hope Eldest is better... did anyone here read it? Cause I have one question... Angela tells Eragon in Teirm his fortune, and says that a family member will betray Eragon... Well, is that in Eragon or Eldest, cause I didn't see any family betryal in Eragon.

I've been writing a story off and on for a while now. I have about 20 pages. It still needs a lot of work, obviously as it's a work in progress, but I just would like some comments about it. (It's in PDF, so you'll need a PDF reader such as Adobe Acrobat Reader.) Here's the story link: http://www.geocities.com/catwulf/Kina2.pdf

I've started to read the books and have watched the movies. I remember in the movies when Frodo is poisoned from the dagger when he got hit on the weathertop, an elf comes to swiftly take him to some place for healing. The elf was a woman am I wrong? But in the book, I just got past that part and it says he is a man. Am I misunderstanding something or did they just add the woman to the movie to make it more interesting?
