Hobbit

to Frodo arriving at Bree the group only consisted of hobbits, which were somewhat unique from each other but were also very similar. I enjoyed that the author also made this character have preceding relationships Bilbo and Gandalf and that Frodo kind of had to just hope this character truly had genuine intentions. Lastly, some characters I am not all too fond of being Pippin and Merry. In my eyes, they seem way too alike. They are both hobbits with generally a more cowardly disposition. When I…

joined the faculty of the University of Leeds before he joined Oxford University. Tolkien was hired to be a professor at Oxford University in 1920. When he was there he started a writing, group called The Inklings where he wrote a short line about a hobbit when he was grading a paper.…

convey its thrilling scenes. The camera can be the most useful way of presenting suspense. It allows you to see the excitement unfolding in front of you. One way the camera exhibits suspense is through POV shots. One scene using a POV shot is when the hobbits are running away from The Nine after being found at the Prancing Pony Inn . They make it to weathertop and once they think they safely at the top, the camera views Frodo’s face. After showing Frodo’s face, it flashes to the steps where a…

What drives a person you may ask? Well when ur life is at risk like For example in The Other Side Of The Sky, Farah got her leg blown off yet she still ran and climbed mountains to get the help her and her mother need or The Hobbit Bilbo Baggins had to choose between his "Took" side or his "Baggins" side. He eventually chose his Took side and wound up saving the vikings life. Or Aengus will never stop looking for his "glimmering girl". Its just so interesting what challenges Bilbo, Farah, and…

the other races of Middle Earth tend to be fairly homogeneous, the humans show a great deal of difference between them. All elves share a connection with nature and are immortal, while dwarfs all have a love of the earth and precious stones, and Hobbits all seem to have a very down to earth demeanor and and little ambition for power. Humans on the other hand seem to have greater divergence. As pointed out earlier, there are different classes of Men and each one is distinct. The people of Gondor…

What are the characteristics of a tale that make it epic? Some factors make some epic poems stand out from other stories. To make a poem epic it needs a universal theme such as good vs evil, supernatural events, and the actions of one person determine the fate of a nation. All of these recurring events happen in the book The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien. The theme that is constantly present is good vs evil, an example of this is Gandalf against the Balrog. A supernatural event happens…

The first is when the Ringwraiths attack the hobbits at Weathertop. It is biggest danger the hobbits meet on their way to Rivendell after the first threshold crossing and, while they have met with the Ringwraiths a little, this is the first real up close and personal encounter with them that ends in Frodo getting stabbed and…

of the King, Tolkien creates a world that is affected by choice and desire. The characters that interact with Sauron’s ring of power stretch across all three books and across all social statuses and races. Humans, immortal beings (the wizards), Hobbits, and Elves all seem affected in some way by the Ring or at least have the potential of the Ring affecting them. The One Ring in Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings affects characters in the same way but through different…

Combined with courage was often the virtue of self-sacrifice: the willingness to place oneself in danger to assure the safety of others. This noble attitude has often been trivialized and made almost into a cliche in some fiction, but its origins in heroic literature are much more serious as numerous squires die protecting their knights. (58) Although Sam is not a warrior he shows undying devotion to his master as he follows him into danger and refuses to leave him. Frodo is a hero because he is…

The dwarfs did not get along with them very well because the dwarfs thought they were very foolish.The reason I am saying this is because that the elves teased them and laughed at them and most of all their beards.According to the book, Bilbo the hobbit actually liked being around the elves because of their royalness and the way they treat people like bilbo. Elrond feels like the expedition of the trolls had plundered other plunderers,or came on on the remnants of old robberies in some…
