Response to Kailem About TTT Questions
Andrew

Hello. Your questions about TTT are very good, and I have the answers for the first two.
When Arwen says that she'll "choose a mortal life." she means Aragorn. Aragorn is the mortal life she choose. When Aragorn says that Arwen said "Forsake the immortal life of your people." That means that she would have to leave her people, and live in a place filled with mortals. She doesn't actually lose her immortality.
When Merry and Pippin see the army marching out of Isengard, they are looking over the trees, because they are very high from on top of Treebeards head, yet Treebeard can't see over the trees, because his eyes are lower than the top of his head. Merry and Pippin can see, but Treebeard can't, so he wouldn't be able to see Isengard, all he can see is the smoke that rises from it.
As for the Ents all being there when Treebeard calls them, I don't know. That is pretty strange.
I hope those are the answers you seek.
