Fellowship Of The Ring Comparison

Just try to think that more than 1,000 books have been made into movies. Sometimes, the book is better and other times the movie is better. What do you think? Do you like imagining things? Or, do you like other people putting it in front of you? In The Hobbit, the book is a lot more powerful than the movie because you can see how Bilbo evolves and changes into a better person. Also, the book is more organized and flows better.

The Lord of The Ring’s trilogy is considered one of the greatest Hollywood films in the century. These films have broken several movie records for the Hollywood industry. Also, these movies relate with an all age audience because of the great development of all the characters in the movie. To

The Hobbit’s Journey To me, both Tolkien and movie producers in Hollywood captured many of the different aspects and angles of the timeless classic The Hobbit. Although I pictured some scenes and characters different in my mind, both the movie and the book outdid themselves with lovely yet gruesomely fascinating detail. I myself am not sure if I favor the movie or the book better. Each did a great job of benefiting details to the story by either giving great descriptions of high quality imagery. Both the movie and the book both portrayed the story perfectly in their own ways.

Frodo Baggins is one of the main characters in this movie. He was given the ring from Bilbo when he announced that he was leaving the shire. Bilbo trusted Frodo to get the ring and since the focus of the story is on the ring, that makes the ring-bearer our main character, known as the hero. Frodo is a hero because he always tried his best to follow the directions he was told, even when it was tempting to do otherwise. The ring is very powerful, and his mission was to destroy the ring before Sauron and his men could get to it. By taking charge of this mission, he is a very heroic character.

The contrast between different types of leadership appears in the chapter Flies and Spiders in J.R.R Tolkien’s The Hobbit. The chapter starts off with the group no longer having Gandalf lead them through the perils that lie in the Mirkwood. Thorin helps lead the group past a deadly river that cannot be touched and helps them until he is captured by elves. Bilbo battle spiders and saves the dwarves on multiple occasions in Thorin’s absence. In this chapter you see a new contrast in Throrin and Company. No longer having Gandalf Thorin picked up the mantle of leadership and lead by command. Bilbo then assumed the role of leadership in Thorins absence and lead by putting others first, putting himself on the line. As the story progresses you have these two types of leadership contrasting throughout the story. Ultimately in the end Bilbo’s was of leadership proved to be better.

Focused Essay 1-rough draft-Madalyn Olsen J.R.R Tolkien was an english writer, poet, philologist, and a university professor. He wrote The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. He once said “ It’s a dangerous business going out your front door.” Tolkien is both right and wrong. When leaving the home safety, adventure, and health are all put on the line.

One of history’s famous authors was and still is today, J. R. R. Tolkien. Many people know some of his more famous books like The Hobbit or his Lord of the Ring series. Within these people there are others who know that the names of all the dwarves from The Hobbit and the name Gandalf come from an ancient Norse poem titled Volpusa. An even smaller group of people know that more than just his name came from Norse mythology, in fact the model for Gandalf’s character may have been taken from one of Norse mythologies most important gods Odin. There are many similarities between the two of them; pictures and paintings of Odin look like Gandalf, they both are immortal, they both can take on other appearances, they both have the fastest horses in the world, both of them die and come back better than before, both plan out the battles more than partake in them, both of them are very wise, and they both use similar magic in combat. J. R. R. Tolkien was influenced by the Norse god Odin when he created his character Gandalf.

The Fellowship of the Ring begins with the passing on of a ring from Bilbo to Frodo, like a gold watch being passed down from generation to generation. For a while, it was just like it was that kind of gold watch until Gandalf finds it is much, much worse than the average family heirloom. Gandalf suspected the ring was one of the many twenty Rings of Power. He cast the ring into the fire to determine if his suspicion was right or wrong, and revealed that it was the One Ring and that plans must be set for the long toil to make the peace of Middle-Earth last. It took a long time to get to Rivendell, all the while being chased and pursued by the most skilled, cunning, and surely deadliest of all the Dark Lord’s minions.

“A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself” is said by Joseph Campbell, an American mythologist, writer and lecturer, who easily defines the hero.

Frodo Baggins becomes the ringbearer to the all powerful One Ring in which he has to take to the fires of Mount Doom to where it was forged. The author of this magnum opus, J.R.R. Tolkien was born January 3rd, 1892 in Bloemfontein, South Africa. Receiving his education from King Edward’s School and then sent to Exeter's College in Oxford,Tolkien studied the classics, Latin and Greek, and Anglo Saxon Literature and Middle English which later influenced his creation of the Lord of the Rings and the languages within it.

I enjoyed reading the excerpt from J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings: the Fellowship of the Ring since it was an exciting story, unlike the other readings. In English Part One and Part Two, most of the readings were nonfictional, and those that were fictional were mostly short stories with

In the previous century there have been two major series of fantasy novels; "Lord of the Rings" and more recently "Harry Potter". The genre, fantasy, is very broad, but generally contains one main character, the protagonist, who is fighting for, or against something, often against evil. In both these novels the main protagonist is fighting against evil and endures a kind of adventure and personal growth. As in most fantasy novels, the main characters are in an ulterior world, which is comparable in many ways. I intend to investigate into some of the many comparable components of these two novels.
