One to One

Effectiveness, efficiency, and a great story is what to look for in a book, like The Hobbit. From the book to the movie there are many ineffective changes affecting the plot of the scene. The novel is written by J.R.R. Tolkien, and the movie, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is directed by Peter Jackson. In The Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, a little hobbit, is persuaded to venture on a journey with thirteen dwarves and Gandalf, a great wizard, to steal back stolen gold and kill the enormous Smaug. On…

Each room has one or more televisions and a robust speaker system lining the walls. The rooms themselves serve a variety of functions, many of which would seem beyond the scope of a standard church. There are many signs denoting activities held at all times of year.…

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…

just like ours. But what two worlds are exactly alike? No matter the similarity, each world is as unique as a snowflake. This world, born of Tolkien’s imagination, resides in Middle Earth; this is one whose people are Man, Dwarves, Dragons, Elves, and Hobbits alike. Throughout this tale, the readers follow one such hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, who joins thirteen militant dwarves on their quest to reclaim their homeland and the dwarvish kingdom under…

The Fellowship of the Ring, a group strangers who grow more courageous when working together. On the beginning of their journey, Frodo and Sam set off on their way to Prancing Pony. Samwise Gamgee, the first one to volunteer, represents a loyal retainer. Courage to continue with Frodo shows a dedication that a loyal retainer has for the hero of their story. He risks his life several times, which includes him joining Frodo in the first place. Sam also represents a Martyr, he feels the need to…

speak to diverse European nationalities, yet Tolkien 's dislike for purposeful anecdote makes this appear to be profoundly improbable. Family ancestry is an alternate imperative variable that shapes character in The Hobbit. All through Middle-Earth, one 's prospects, character, and social position are connected nearly to the family legacy (Clark, George, & Daniel Timmons…

and often fragmented. This lets the reader pause, so that meaningful lines .have more impact because the reader can let everything sink in. An example of where this has been used effectively is Four Skinny Trees, “They are the only ones who understand me. I am the only one who understands them… Four who do not belong here but are here… Their strength is secret. They send ferocious roots beneath the ground… Four whose only reason is to be and be.” (Page 75) Not only do these sentences cause the…

This is the ability to think less of oneself. As a mature individual, one should not be drawn to their own attention. 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…

farther from home they travel, the greater the danger. The very name of "the Wild" provides a symbolic contrast with what is familiar, tame, and domestic, and the deserted terrain represents the difficulties they begin to face so far from home. They have one last opportunity to enjoy themselves at the home of Gandalf's friend Elrond. The traditional enmity between elves and dwarves is depicted here in the dwarves'…

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,…
