The History of Middle-earth

One of the many book series focusing on the Dungeons and Dragons universe, known as the Legend of Drizzt, is one that focuses strongly on the darker tones of having to live as an ostracized member of society and the good things that come anyways. The story focuses on Drizzt Do’Urden, a rogue drow elf that escaped the murderous, hedonistic lifestyle of the underground drow city of Menzoberranzan and the accompanying worship of Lolth, the spider goddess. Drizzt faces many hardships within…

"Is there a woman?" The Red Lancer who had teared Olaf's head out asked, swerving his horse. The man smiled and raised his lance with the white head impaled in his point as a trophy. "Is she beautiful?" Other Uhlan asked, moving his horse to place himself at Kristoff's side. The mountain man stood in front of Anna's tent, looking at the five Uhlans who had unexpectedly appeared. Kristoff asked inwardly why those riders had reached Arendelle's encampment. Has Arendelle's army been…

In the nature of men the desirer to do good is necessarily for the good of others. It’s somewhat appropriate to desirer good in any situations with a clear purpose. Having absolute power isn’t a bad thing to over come the enemies in battle. It great to know the outcome before it take place, but the desirer to have power can be side tact in Tolkien reading. The lord of rings displays some interesting tale of corruption with great power. It gives examples of the temptation throughout the reading…

Many people have asked me what I think of when I hear the word hero. Some people think of superheroes, such as Batman, Superman or Spider Man. However, heros can be normal people without super hero powers such as teachers, parents, and coaches. Just like Bilbo Baggins in The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien, I too had heros help me in my life. Bilbo and I both have people in our lives that helped us achieve the impossible. Along the way both Bilbo and I evolved into heros. Gandalf, my parents, and my…

Ever heard of the Lord of the Rings? If the answer is yes, amazing; if the answer is “no”, well, the answer is hopefully not “no.” Although it is merely a work of fiction, the Lord of the Rings has characters that possess honorable traits. If I could nominate anyone--real or made-up--to be my role model, I would choose Frodo Baggins. Frodo is the main character in Lord of the Rings; he’s a creature that is similar to a human: a hobbit (a short humanlike creature with extremely large and hairy…

Hobbits. They are interestingly boring little creatures who are known for living peaceful uneventful lives; however, one fateful day one little hobbit defied the odds. In The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, no matter how small a person may be, they can accomplish anything they put their mind to. Bilbo Baggins accomplished this by slaying terrifying spiders, outwitting the sneaky Gollum and escaping the wise wood elves. All of this to defeat the dragon Smaug and recover the things that once belonged…

The Battle of Middle Earth: The Hobbit verses The Lord of the Rings Two great classic novels are The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. Both of these are amazing books that teach of courage, faithfulness, and friendship. However, when there are two things in discussion, one usually edges out the other. The Lord of the Rings is more captivating because of the importance of the Fellowship, the differences in the battles, and how the characters are portrayed. One of the most important things…

than continue the progress. This stage is the stage where both societies and inequalities emerged. It also happens to be in my mind, the middle between the nascent stage and the current state of man. As I stated in the book, this stage of development “must have been the happiest and most durable epoch” because men had become “less forbearing” and obtained “a middle position between the indolence of our primitive state and the petulant activity of our ecocentrism” (74). These quotations explain…

work essay 8/18/2015 Hobbits, a race who inhabits the Middle Earth in J.R.R. Tolkien’s fictional world. They are short and small, and not as strong as human, dwarves or elves, but they can also change the world as epic heroes, which are defined as characters who are brave, noble, usually are admired for great achievements, and embody the values of their culture. In J.R.R. Tolkien’s Hobbits usually have simple lives and stay in the Middle Earth; however, the master ring that rules all of the…

The Golem by Avram Davidson is a retelling of a Jewish folklore with a twist that makes it stand out from other science fiction tales. Evident from the title of the story, the story starts with the appearance of a golem at the porch of an old couple’s home. The old couple – Mr. and Mrs. Gumbeiner – react very calmly to the situation, unlike how characters usually react in science fiction stories when they encounter a monster-like or alien-like being. Their indifference towards the golem and the…
