In the first book, "The Fellowship of the Ring" the focus of the novel is a group of characters (The Fellowship) as they travel across the wide continent of Middle Earth on a quest to save the continent from the rising darkness of Sauron. Throughout the journey through Middle Earth, Bree, Rivendell, Anduin River and more places are the key locations to the development of the group; these locations are where the most influential events occurred in the novel. The Hobbits travel to Bree in the beginning so that they can once again meet with Gandalf the Grey and rest. Upon arrival, they received news that the old wizard had not yet arrived and had not been seen for six weeks prior to their arrival to the Prancing Poney (Tolkien 149). This event is a way for Tolkien to cue the readers in on the happenings of the world outside of the Hobbits realm. Due to Gandalf absence, Frodo fears that something has happened to him, which he is entirely correct.

Starting with the “well preserved” Bilbo Baggins, his adventure began when he was fifty years of age, Gandalf the Grey took him to the Misty mountains as a hired burglar to assist the king under the mountain, Thorin Oakenshield. During his journey with the dwarves, Bilbo came across a ring, which happened to be the One Ring to rule them all. His finding of the ring is what caused his nephew to experience his own journey, but one that is far more dangerous (Tolkien 11) The readers will notice that with Tolkien 's main characters, he typically does not utilize direct or indirect characterization; instead he chooses to let their actions determine their growth throughout the story, letting each new encounter change them in some way. The main protagonist, Frodo has been said to be loving, generous, kind and loyal, which is shown in every meeting and parting of characters. One big example of his strong character is when he makes the decision to sell Bag End,
