Orc

Thura stood at the end of the great jagged chasm. The young orc’s powerful hand instinctively tightened on the ax as she sought in vain a way across. Thick and muscular of limb and torso, the orc was a skilled fighter despite barely being of adult years. Yet now her broad, rough-hewn features twisted into something more childlike, more fearful, as she ran back and forth without success in her search. Her wide, tusked mouth frowned. Thura shook her head and murmured a wordless protest. Her heavy…

Barrel Riders, Orc Fighters "Slay them all!" (Jackson). The orcs are ready to kill the dwarves, but their plan takes a detour and wood elves come, shooting arrows everywhere. The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien is about a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins, who goes on an adventure with 13 greedy, old dwarves and a wizard named Gandalf, to help them reclaim the Lonely Mountain. The Lonely Mountain is filled with treasure and it used to be owned by the dwarves, but it became in possession of Smaug, a…

Deep from Saruman’s militia of Uruk-hai and orcs. The Battle of Helm’s Deep acts dissimilarly in both the film and the book. In the film, it is a pivotal battle, similar to the Battle of the Pelennor Fields in The Return of the King. In the book, it is simply just another battle in the lead-up to the finale at Pelennor Fields and Minas Tirith. Per se, there is much less detail in the book, and the whole battle occupies only a few pages. There were no orcs carrying a large flame, no elves coming…

Deep was not. Having to get children and untrained men geared up for war, not knowing what is coming for them and not as much cooperation like the orcs, had a great deal of people that were killed. One thing that the armies of Isengard did not have was a backup plan, Gandalf bringing reinforcements to the king has made the team balanced, causing the orcs to flee into the forest of Ents. Theoden and Aragorn display the most gain of honour, Theoden drastically after being released of the…

Determination is a strong word and a strong feeling to have. It will drive to do whatever you have to do to finish your objective. Making a promise to someone or wanting to do something great for the world. In The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring shows that determination in characters of the movie and how much drive they have in their minds. Elrond (Lord of Rivendell) gatherers members from all of the races of middle earth to decide who will take the ring to Mount Doom and destroy…

Three life-changing events for Bilbo Baggins are when he was told to steal the treasure, when he stole the ring, and when Bilbo saved Thorin from the orc. The first life-changing event is when Bilbo is told to steal the treasure from the dragon Smaug, who ruled the Lonely Mountain.

For the most part, Tolkien had similar views to authors of his time. However, one area in which he differed from many was government and politics. He didn’t believe that there was one unique government system that would solve the problems of the world. The reason for this being that there is always corruption in government.
