The Fellowship of the Rings is the first of the three volumes in “The Lord of the Rings”, an epic set in the fictional world of Middle-earth. The Lord of the Rings is an entity named Sauron, the Dark Lord, who long ago lost the One Ring that contains much of his power. His overriding desire is to reclaim the Ring and use it to enslave all of Middle-earth.

Howard Shore is one of the most legendary and esteemed composer and music conductor in present time. The Lord of the Rings is his most well known compositions and has been the best of his achievements in his entire career. This trilogy alone has earned him three academy awards. This three-part trilogy cost a whopping $300 million dollars. The setting for his music was placed in Middle Earth, and Shore had to write music for Hobbits, Dwarfs, Elves and all the other creatures belonging to Tolkien’s fantasy world.

The events associated with J.R.R Tolkien’s book The Hobbit resembles a hero’s quest journey, step by step until the final stage. Bilbo Baggins is the main character in this book and his life sonorously fits into in a typical hero quest journey. The three primary components of Bilbo’s quest are, the call to adventure, tests, allies and enemies, and the reward. In the book The Hobbit, Bilbo’s life is very plain and simple until he embarks on a marvelous journey with thirteen dwarfs and the wizard Gandalf, together they go on an obstacle filled journey to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the dragon. Throughout the story Bilbo and the Dwarfs are tested several times unit the get to the last stage. Therefore the Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien is one of the classic hero quest stories because of the many affairs that resemble the hero quest cycle.

In the film the music is very important. At the beginning it is set at

One of the more important parts of a movie is the soundtrack, it can make or break the film and the soundtrack for “A Knight’s Tale” made the movie. “A Knight's Tale” had a very interesting choice of music that catches you off guard at first, but then you grow to like it. The setting is in the medieval times so when it shows the fans of a jousting tournament in the first 10 minutes getting pumped up to song “we will rock you” by queen, is pretty humorous. The movie continues to play 70’s rock including “the boys are back in town”, “we are the champions”, “takin’ care of business” and many more. I personally love the choice of music because it gives the movie a unique twist that you don’t see in a lot of movies today.

The legendary John Williams is back another round to compose the music of the Force Awakens. As the composer of the previous 6 Star Wars movies, he does not fail creating a masterpiece of work. The originally built music for our new main characters brings out their uniqueness to the universe. The extraordinary timing with the music really ties in the dramatic feelings of certain scenes. One of the most chilling moments is toward the end when Rey Picks a lightsaber to fight Kylo Ren and the Luke Skywalker theme song blast through the speaker, blasting the hairs on my skin to a 90-degree

The expectations of film music are that it highlight and complement any onscreen actions while not being too distracting from the plot of the story. Today, one of the most well-known film music composers is John Williams. Winning a multitude of awards, he has written music for a wide range of highly popular movies, from Jurassic Park in 1993 to Schindler’s List in late 1993 to later Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone in 2001 and Memoirs of a Geisha in 2005, to name a few. However, many of the elements that John Williams uses in writing film music were implemented by Richard Wagner in writing his operas. Both Wagner and Williams are great composers of their respective times. According to Jon Burlingame, writer for the Los Angeles Times, “Wagner's influence on film-music

The first chapter in the book begins in a small village, following the book of The Hobbit. Bilbo Baggins celebrates his 111th (or eleventy-first, as it is called in the story) birthday on the same day, 22 September, that his younger cousin and adopted heir Frodo Baggins celebrates his coming of age at thirty-three. At the birthday party, Bilbo departs from the Shire, the land of the Hobbits. Bilbo does so by using the magic ring (that he had found on his journey) to disappear and is aided by Gandalf the Wizard with a flash and puff of smoke, leading many in the Shire to believe he has gone mad. He leaves Frodo his remaining belongings, including his home, Bag End, and the Ring. It becomes apparent that

Although my novel, The Fellowship of the Ring, has just begun, a lot of events have already taken place. The story begins years after the events of the prequel The Hobbit, fifty years since Bilbo Baggins had returned from an adventure with the great wizard Gandalf and Gandalf’s dwarf companions. In Bilbo’s home of the Shire, he announces that he will be inviting many guests to his 111th birthday. (Hobbits live much longer than humans). However, after being visited by Gandalf, Bilbo reveals to him, along with Frodo Baggins, (Bilbo’s adopted heir), that he has grown tired of life in the Shire. So, on his 111th birthday, Bilbo decides to, with help, “disappear” to a life in the mountains. He leaves a will, and divides

“The pent waters spread out into a long oval lake, pale Nen Hithoel, fenced by steep grey hills.... At the far southern end rose three peaks. The midmost stood somewhat forward from the others and sundered from them, an island in the waters, about which the flowing River flung pale shimmering arms. Distant but deep there came upon the wind a roaring sound like the roll of thunder heard far away… I hear the endless voice of Rauros calling.”

After reading the novel, “The Fellowship of the Ring,” written by J.R.R. Tolkien, one message that J.R.R. Tolkien has shown to the readers throughout the novel is that, power corrupts all who seek it. The novel is set in a place called Middle-earth where the Dark Lord, Sauron, forged a Ring from his life force so that he could rule all of Middle-earth and its inhabitants. But, Sauron the Ring was then stolen, and for a long time he believed that the ring was lost forever. Many years later the ring came to a Hobbit named Bilbo Baggins. Frodo, Bilbo’s nephew, inherited the Ring from Bilbo and then a wizard named Gandalf the Grey tells Frodo who the Ring belongs to and what he must do to destroy it. Frodo then journeys across Middle-earth with

In the Greek civilization of Sparta, having your name on your grave was allowed to two classes of people: mothers who died during childbirth and men who died in battle. Though they were still slaves to their gender roles, both genders shared a commitment to the preservation of their civilization. Today these stereotypical roles have drastically changed, but social normality of each gender remains the same. This idea that each gender has a role in society, but that the role is a vital part is apparent in Peter Jackson’s adaptation of J.R.R Tolkien’s book The Lord of the RIngs. Through his portrayal of both male and female characters that conform to and stray from social normality, Jackson attempts to appeal to both sexes and demonstrate that both genders can share characteristics and still contribute to society.
