High Fantasy is a genre filled with imagination where people dream of things that are only possible in the imaginary world, not in the real world. Most high fantasy genre novels have specific aspects such as the inclusion of a hero, an advisor, and a villain in a dreamland world that can attract the reader’s attention through the creation of an action scene. In addition, these types of characters often immerse the audience into the novel and develop the curiosity for the reader. In The Hobbit, J.R.R. Tolkien lets people imagine a fictional world such as Middle Earth, where everything relates to the magical land—a concept that is impossible in a world such as ours. In The Hobbit, imaginary characters take the form of elves, dwarves, and Goblins

What does every good movie or book have in it? What made The Lord of the Rings or the Hobbit so popular? What gave it the sense of awe? For me it was the sense of adventure, and I bet that is what it was for you too. An ordinary hobbit, nothing different or exciting about him, was suddenly thrust into the middle of a grand adventure. Adventure: it is what some people, including me, live for; not the generic fly here, buy our hotel package, experience controlled danger type of adventure. A real genuine adventure; one that is unexpected, spontaneous, taken with loved ones, out of the ordinary, something that maybe other people wouldn’t consider and adventure. That is a real adventure.

Along the way, the hobbits encounter Ringwraiths, servants of Sauron and a man named Aragorn joins the group. The second book begins by the group making it to Rivendell by a hair’s breadth. A council is formed and it is decided that the Ring must be destroyed where it was forged, in the crevices of Mount Doom. After Frodo accepts the compulsory objective, a fellowship is then created to counteract the nine Ringwraiths. The members are to be a dwarf named Gimli, an elf named Legolas, a man from the South named Boromir, Gandalf, Aragorn, and the four hobbits. The fellowship runs into trouble in the Dwarven Mines of Moria where Gandalf is murdered by a demon called Balrog. The others barley survive and decide to take refuge at the Elven kingdom Lothlorien. Soon after the group leaves, the Fellowship is broken. They must decide whether to go to Mordor or to Minas Tirith, towards Gondor. Boromir confronts Frodo about wanting the Ring to destroy Sauron, but the hobbit refuses and is forced to endure the Ring’s power of invisibility to get away from the crazed man. The Fellowship of the Ring ends with Frodo, witnessing how destructive the Ring is, deciding he must go to Mordor himself, and ventures off to get a boat in a sneaky fashion, but his fellow companion Sam soon catches up with him.
