Elrond

This is somewhat of a modern AU spin-off on Chapter 5 of my story “A Thief’s Calling”; the scene in when Nori just stole the spoons back from Lobelia during Bilbo’s coming of age party, and gave them to Bilbo. chainelements wrote following comment to that: “For some reason, Nori shoving a handful of spoons at Bilbo remind me of a lover giving his date a bouquet of flowers”. That was incidentally exactly what I had in mind writing the scene, but now that someone pointed it out I suddenly saw the…

The kingdoms of Gondor and Rohan also have a distinctive style within the songs and poems, showing traditionalism, pride, and strength. The race of man, compared to the hobbits and elves, uses or recites poems for a more practical or solemn use, recording histories or lamenting great individuals of the past, as well as sparking bravery and courage in the hearts of the listeners.

You shall not pass!” (Gandalf). Anyone can at least tell you who or what this quote is from. This three part movie follows a young Hobbit named Frodo, along with The Fellowship to take an evil ring to Mount Doom. Lord of The Rings is by far the best movie series, with its mythical world, the plot and characters, and dialogue. The legendarium of Middle Earth is home to many races and creatures real, and nonexistent. Words can not explain how the author of the original books, JRR…

When I read this, I thought it was strange that with the mark came the surprise visitors, not Gandalf which he was expecting. Reading this, I asked myself if there was any connection oath the mark and the visitors and what the mark meant. This active reading is imperative to make connections and draw conclusions in this novel. In the end it turned out the marking on the door and the visitors were related and was the springboard for further development in the novel. This quote, while not…

The Fellowship of the Rings theme of friendship, plays a large role in The Hobbit. The Hobbit had a theme of a…

Many of J.R.R. Tolkien’s major works, such as The Silmarillion and The Lord of the Rings have been criticized for their absence of major female characters, in addition to the stereotypical nature of those females. This essay discusses that these assumptions are erroneous, the female characters in Tolkien’s works are independent, resilient, and imperative to the central plots of each novel. J.R.R. Tolkien’s characters Lúthien, Galadriel, Arwen, and Éowyn are good examples of strong females.…

Any story needs interesting character in order to keep a readers attention. Without diverse and multi-dimensional characters, the story will become flat and lose the reader 's attention. J.R.R. Tolkein is the author of the critically acclaimed Lord of the Rings books. These novels did not just become a story, but they became a universe.
