Narnia Vs. Lord Of The Rings

The differences between book and movie, we think that the story of four children who go to live with an older man (a professor) in order to get away from the air raids that are occurring at home due to the war. The film begins with Lucy telling the others about Narnia and the wardrobe, and the events in Narnia with Mr. Tumnus are shown as a flashback. In the book, these events are shown before she tells everyone about them. The characters of Mrs. Macready, Father Christmas and the Giant Rumblebuffin are cut. (Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy appear to enter the wardrobe on their own, and Aslan gives them their gifts when they reach the Stone Table. However, Father Christmas is mentioned, and the jingle bells of his sled are heard.) Maugrim's name is changed to Fenris Ulf, like in the old American Version of the chronicles. While they are staying with the professor, they find a wardrobe in an empty room that leads them to another world called Narnia.

As any good book that has been made into a movie, there are several differences between C.S. Lewis’ The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe book and the movie. Some of the parts of the story discussed will show some of the differences between the book and the movie and how this relates to Christianity. In my opinion, I prefer the book over the movie as I think it better represents how the story relates to Christianity, but I also enjoy the movie as it gives a visual representation of following Christ through difficult times.

     In comparing and contrasting the Arthurian Legends and J.R.R. Tolkien’s book The Fellowship of the Ring, it is almost like a medieval contest between the two with many of the similarities coming from the customs of the Middle Ages. A look at the make up of the groups involved, the moral code, the protagonist, the antagonist, the use of supernatural elements and the knightly quest involved in each book shows how alike they are but yet different.

How can an author write a story which appeals to a present day audience? Richard H. Tyre published an article in 1978 that gives an answer to this very question. Tyre explains how most kids today choose to read books like the Harry Potter series, The Lord of the Rings series, and even The Wizard of Oz. An existing theory that Tyre came up with explains that each of these books, along with many others, have one thing in common: 6 plot elements. Not only do these stories contain the same 6 elements but those elements are in the same order! Tyre states that “(1) those who hunt for treasure, (2) must go alone, (3) at night, (4) and when they find it, (5) they must leave some of their blood behind, (6) and the treasure is never what they expected.” (Tyre 2). J.R.R. Tolkien is the author of The Hobbit. The Hobbit revolves around one hobbit in particular named Bilbo Baggins. Bilbo embarks on a journey with 14 others to recover a treasure that is guarded by a dragon. Along the way Bilbo faces many challenges that range from running into huge trolls, to taking part in fierce battles. Due to it’s main character hunting for treasure, facing most of the dangers alone, battling during the wee hours of the night, eventually finding the treasure, after sweating/crying/and enduring injuries, just to have the treasure revealed to him as not what he expected, J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit is undoubtedly a perfect example of Tyre’s 6 plot elements.

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.

A calm life is a boring waste of time, and one that eventually grows tiring. Helen Keller once said that “Life is a daring adventure or nothing,” meaning that people who don’t have any excitement or adventure in their lives are empty shells who are looking for something to drive them. Three fictional examples of such empty souls are Regina Mills from “Once Upon a Time,” Bilbo Baggins from “The Hobbit” and “Lord of the Rings” series, and Madoka Kaname from “Puella Magi Madoka Magica.”

As a long-time fan of horror movies, who has also studied them academically, let me buck the trend of complaining about "jump scares" for a bit, and offer some food for thought here:

Why is dystopian literature so popular among young adults? Might be because the reader can really connect with the character's. Young adults might feel the same pressure with what their going through in their life, with what the character might be feeling. Or how the character wants to break out, they might feel the same. Twilight vs. The Maze Runner? Right now dystopian literature is more popular. Dystopian literatures have many things in common which might be why teens find it so fascinating. It connects to readers through feelings.

Few books are as imaginative, and exciting as the J.R.R. Tolkien series of books involving the adventures of mythical creatures that include hobbits, wizards, orcs, and one very cranky fire-breathing dragon. The Hobbit is both a stand-alone story and an introduction to the Tolkien world and more stories involving many more characters and adventures, including The Lord of the Rings. The Hobbit is one book about a well-defined adventure of one small set of characters, while The Lord of the Rings is a trilogy of books that are much more complex and involve many more characters. Several key characters in The Hobbit including Bilbo, Gandalf, and Gollum are also found in The Lord of the Rings. The Hobbit is about one hobbit aided by some dwarves, fairies, and one wizard going on an adventure to find treasure and one very important ring.

Another component of the novels that is comparable is the intended audience. "The Lord of the Rings" series was written for a much older audience than that of "Harry Potter". The age the audience has been written for is also reflected in the use of language in both books. Rowling has used relatively simple language. She hasn't used long-winded, almost poetic sentences as Tolkien has. Rowling keeps her audience interested by keeping her writing straight to the point, incorporating made-up words and phrases. For example Rowling creates all sorts of interesting names for her wizards, such as Dumbledore and Lupin. She also uses words for spells that come from Latin and various other sources put together to create many interesting words and phrases. Rowling's book is easy to read and is able to keep its readers interested because she keeps the plot moving and creates perfect imagery without needing to include too much detail.

The purpose of my timeline is to explore the illustrative work produced by J.R.R Tolkien in his life time including his great literary works The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings and how each was developed from its humble beginning as sketched and visualised thoughts as aids to a complex story to the massively popular film and gaming franchise it has become. More specifically I shall be investigating how the nature of Tolkien's art work originally produced for his stories has shifted in societies field of perception and has essentially branched into a new means of representation due t modern developments in technology.

The Nazgul has orders to retrieve the ring and kill whoever has possession of the ring. Frodo has to go to several meetings and has to face several forces against him, like the Nazgul. The ring is too enticing for Frodo. Frodo slips the ring on his finger and finds out that if he wear the ring he will disappear. Frodo decides to go to Mordor by himself. When Frodo departs, the people he leaves behind end up being attacked by “uruk-hai.” (The Tolkien Society, Plot summary) The uruk-hai are much larger and stronger than orcs. Frodo is then wounded by a servant of the Dark Lord. The group then has a meeting on what they should do to the ring. The group decides to continue on their journey to the Cracks of Doom, to destroy the ring, with injured

In the 1940s to 1950s, World War II, and the Cold War took place and the consequences of warfare lingered well into the second half of twenty century. During that time period with conflicts and sorrows, J.R.R. Tolkien was creating an entire fictional world with its mythopoeic stories, and he showed it to the people. In Tolkien’s early life, he fought Germans in World War I and both of his parents died when he was relatively young. Later on, J.R.R Tolkien became one of the most famous and influential fantasy fiction writer in the twentieth century. He was also widely known as the creator of Middle-Earth with its entire history where the famous fantasy fictions, The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, take place. However, before J.R.R. Tolkien

The Chronicles of Narnia is a book that is really related to its writer’s faith. C.S lewis was the writer of this book, he was a famous christian writer, he wrote many christian worldview books. The Chronicles of Narnia is base on christian faith, this book is full with Bible story, but he wrote it into another story. The story begins with a boy and a girl, they accidentally went to an amazing world called Narnia, and they experienced many adventures, they also watched how that world been created.After

Narnia is no different for the book or the movie and each is slightly different starting off with the book. The book's plot is very simplified and is not in much detail giving it a rushed feeling with characters not being described to even some being hardly even mentioned. Along with that you have some of the more important scenes being hardly described and it saying what the characters are thinking and what the mood of the scene even is. The movie has a more in depth plot with amazing CGI to give it the realistic feeling along with some new characters to help set and develop the plot to make it feel more complete. This is shown very well in one of the last scenes with the centaur general he helps set the mood to a wartime mood and give it a more intense
