upon those who threaten their hoard.” (Rateliff 280) Thorin describes Smaug’s relationship with gold as simply “they’ll never enjoy a brass ring as long as they live” (Tolkien 23), and suggests that “[dragons] don’t know a good bit of work from a bad one” (Tolkien 23), but the power that Smaug felt while maintaining the treasure was enough to drive him into selfishness and madness.

People should have the ability to appreciate others for the contribution they have made to their success. A mature person will also give thanks to the creator for the talents accorded to them. They are aware…

It has been almost one month since that incident with Michael and his wife. It took about three weeks for me to even fill comfortable sleeping in my own home. I became so jumpy and paranoid getting in and out my car until I just had to tell myself, enough is enough. I was no longer going to let some women make me afraid to live in my own home. It’s not like Michael had a key or anything. I stop by the health food store today and picked up some miso paste, portabella mushrooms, spring onions,…

Island of a Thousand Mirrors One of the key transitions that drove Saraswathi’s transformation was the loss of her family at the age of sixteen. Amma, her mother, explains, “You have to go from here, my daughter. We can’t keep you with us anymore. You must go to the training camp. Learn to fight. Become a hero” (159). Saraswathi’s environment changed as she was forced to become a Tiger soldier. As Saraswathi loses her parents, she no longer has a role model to look up to. Being young and…

me closer to my family every time we sat down to watch it. As soon as the show first came out, it became a common occurrence for my family to convene in the living room on Friday night; it was the one time that we could all be assured of spending at least an hour together. The show…

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

across after leaving Rivendell and crossing that threshold. The third belly of the whale Frodo becomes the master of two worlds in two separate scenes of the movie. The first time is when Aragorn says to the hobbits, "My friends... you bow to no-one." He then bows and the rest of Gondor follows suite. This shows the true respect and gratitude he feels for all of their honorable work. The second time is when Frodo finishes writing his book. He is not home mentally and even tells Sam, "We set…

“Sir Percival, Sir Percival, I’m here, I’m here! I have my own sword and everything!” On a stifling summer morning in Camelot, Sir Percival turned and saw a little boy, about age five or six, bounding toward him. The young boy’s shaggy brown hair bounced as he raced forward, and his cheeks were flushed bright pink due to exertion. Only a few paces away from Percival now, the little boy tripped over the too-large sword he carried, and the weapon went sailing into the air. Percival was forced to…

keep going. Throughout that time our memory lets us remember the good and the bad that has taken place. In a newly built squeaky clean auditorium, I played for a spring league volleyball league as well my best friend ShyLynn in seventh grade. I had one tournament left to play and it was in the gym my school was very proud of. After the winning spike smacked the court floor and our fans roared I celebrated with my teammates but quickly felt dissatisfied that ShyLynn didn’t get to share the glory…
