Golems obsession with the ring caused him to leave home and travel with the hobbits that had the ring in the possession. He lost the ring awhile back to a hobbit named Bilbo. He lived underground to protect the ring and…

a huge part of every great story, and should be celebrated. I have one particular villain in my mind. He comes from the great mind of J.R.R. Tolkien. He is a part of The Hobbit and the main antagonist in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. I am talking about the great evil-doer Saruman. Saruman goes by many names in both The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. He is often called Saruman the white, but is also referred to as the White Wizard, Saruman of many colors and Saruman the wise. His part is the…

J. R. R. Tolkien On January 3, 1892 English writer, poet, philologist, and university professor John Ronald Reule Tolkien was born in Bloemfontein, South Africa to an English family. Tolkien, the famous author of The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings, would leave behind a great legacy for all future writers and poets; he would also lead the way for the revival of a lost genre of writing of that time. In 1895 at age three Tolkien moved to Kings Heath in Birmingham, England with his mother, Mabel…

The phrase “burden of responsibility” sounds like an undertaking that is intimidating and to be avoided at all costs. In the movie The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (LOTR), Peter Jackson illustrates his belief that when an individual is shouldered with a burden of responsibility, they can attain positive results. What could happen when individuals are shouldered with a burden of responsibility is depicted through the protagonists in the film. In the beginning of the film when…

The first one is The Hunger Games. The book follows Katniss Everdeen, a 16 year old girl from District 12 who volunteers for the 74th Hunger games so that her sister does not have to participate. The hunger games is a death match between the children chosen from each district to participate. The Hunger Games is a great example of breaking common gender stereotypes as the main character is a strong and independent female character. Katniss does not rely on the usual stereotypical male character…

adapt to the ever changing times. The second reason why one must 'do something beyond what you have mastered' is that in doing so you grow as a person. A perfect example of this point would be J. R. R. Tolkien's fantasy novel The Hobbit. The story begins with a hobbit, a fantasy creature from the mind of Mr. Tolkien, named Bilbo Baggins. He lives a quiet life far away from any danger or adventure. Though the will of a wizard though, Bilbo is thrust into a hair-raising adventure and comes…

the other continents, then maybe Australian accents will be gone. Then I would just sink the animals and bugs, those things are creepy. Last, but not least, I would have all the actors/actresses that play the Avengers and The 13 dwarves, elves and hobbits, and much, much more fictional characters. Some might say that what I have planned is unnecessary, but that’s what I would do if I were…

seems as though with new technology around in our society today, it's easier to hide behind a screen in order to be brace. However, everyone has that one thing that gives them the opportunity to show these characteristics. In J.R.R. Tolkien’s the Hobbit , the theme of confidence and bravery seeps through the pages. The fantasy including old mythology and dragons and elves, shows hundreds of themes in the story. Tolkien uses the ring to symbolize courage and confidence by changing what and who…

Similarly, Frodo Baggins, a young hobbit from the Shire, undertook the perilous quest as a ring-bearer in order to “defend [his] country” from destruction. Even faced with continuous trials, he “kept going because [he was] holding on to” the love for his friends and the “good [of] this world”…
