Troll

subplots. Frankenstein’s (remember the doctor is Frankenstein, not the monster) story is never fully relatable. The Count has a strong goal: love, but he needs further development as a character. It’s not clear why he can go out into the sunshine. The troll story never emotionally engages and this could be eliminated. The “Emily” secret monster story isn’t fully developed, but there something interesting about a mysterious monster. The visual of Emily as monster is very cute. However, what’s…

huge part in the overall development of the story. Usually the magical beings or creatures are some of the most influential and dangerous characters in the plot. In Lord of the Rings, dwarves and elves assist the humans in defeating the powerful trolls lead by an evil magical floating eye. In the universe of Game of Thrones, there is little magic, only adding to the realism. Most of the characters of Game of Thrones believe that magic has completely died out. While dragons used to exist in…

J.R.R. Tolkien was an English novelist, poet, and professor best known for his works of high fantasy such as “The Hobbit”, “The Lord of the Rings”, and “The Silmarillion”. Tolkien never expected his works to become popular, seeing that he wrote the stories for his young children. By complete accident, The Hobbit became popular enough among children and adults that many began to plead for a sequel. The Hobbit; a fantasy tale published in 1937, was nominated for the Carnegie Medal and awarded a…

After watching the movie Beowulf and Grendel and reading the epic Beowulf, there were many cultural differences in the two pieces of work which made them different in their own ways. Although both works were made to simply entertain readers with the story about Beowulf, the two pieces of work portrayed it in a way that would differ because of the cultural differences. When comparing the works together, you notice that the characters in the movie--characters which include Grendel, the son of…

entire story he is seen as a good character when he is helping Harry and his friends. Another good character is Harry himself. Several times throughout the novel he was willing to do whatever he could to help his friends, like with Hermione and the troll, or to help Hogwarts, like with the Sorcerer’s stone and willing to risk his Hogwarts education and even his life. I believe this is showing that people who are “good” are people who are seen as noble, and those who are willing to risk their…

exist in moral ambiguity and operate under the assumption that illegal acts can have morally correct outcomes. This behavior affects their actions on the site. The /i/nsurgent has one purpose: to cause as much grief as possible. They are internet trolls meaning that they derive pleasure by causing as much hate and negativity as possible they strive. And finally, there are the channers, who have become accustomed to the rituals and the practices of the website but not necessarily fit into any…

This book is about Hobbits. Or at least one Hobbit. A Hobbit is kind of like a human and kind of like a dwarf, but is smaller than a dwarf and human. They are quick on their feet and silent. They do not have any kind of magic in them, though some would say that being able to quietly and quickly dissapear from sight is a magic thing. The Hobbits name that this story is about is Bilbo Baggins. Gandalf, who is a wizard, comes one day to the Shire, where Bilbo lives. Since Hobbits are usually always…

During the High Middle Ages there was an influx of expression through the means of literature, painting, and architecture that encompassed the religious Christian values along with the secular chivalric code. This flowering of the High Middle Ages, during the approximate years 1050-1300, is the direct result of the economic successes from agricultural and commercial advances that greatly benefitted all of the social classes. With such stimulation amongst European economy the feudal and manorial…

The group encounters many obstacles while on their journey to the Lonely Mountain. Once they reach it, Smaug is killed and they are encircled by five different armies, all coming together to battle for rights over the treasure. Bilbo goes through an entire transformation while on his journey. When being thrown…

The Unimportant Hero This is a story of a far off land called Dagan, stupid name in my opinion, in a kingdom of Elvish Oaks and Spice Wood. Like every story we have our hero, he’s not really that important. A damsel, she’s a whiny little thing. A faithful steed, he’s my personal favorite. A beautiful sorceress, yours truly. Don’t be fooled, though there is a hero. I wouldn’t expect much from him- oh hey! There he is- I guess the story is being. Ryder rode into town at the speed of lightning…
