When Sauron forged The Ring, he infused his own power and soul into it to ensure that it had the power needed for him to reach his goals. It is because of this that it doesn’t matter if one’s intention is to do good, all that is done with The Ring,…

I know for sure I want to introduce the world of Middle-Earth to my students. J.R.R. Tolkien is a wonderful writer that just describes world that doesn’t exist but he writes it in a way that makes you see it clearly. In high school, I didn’t read a variety of books that was fictional and had supernatural themes. I only experienced that outside the classroom, and I don’t want my students to follow the same path I had to go down. Unfortunately the three-book series is banned by certain school…

There are a variety of Christian symbols hidden amongst The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien.

The ring can entice someone to do a sinful act. Once…

It was the most unlikely event to happen. Just by chance did the hobbit Bilbo Baggins reach down and pick up what at the time seemed insignificant, “ . . . a tiny ring of cold metal lying on the floor of the tunnel” (Tolkien 76). At this point of the book, The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, the character Bilbo thinks nothing of picking up what seems an insignificant object, this cold tiny ring. Little does Bilbo know that this ring would change Middle Earth forever and, though the ring is an…
