The Corruption Of Power: Comparing Perkins And Hill

When most people think of J.R.R. Tolkien, they often think of his great imagination and his world of great dragons, warriors, orcs, hobbits, wizards, dwarves and elves. But most people forget about the deeper meaning behind his stories and his controversy towards society. Tolkien was a British, fantasy, writer during the mid-1900s. Through his love of languages, religion, and country, J.R.R Tolkien’s works of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings are controversial but masterpieces because Tolkien represents “good” as a fuller, more imaginative reality than evil.

Thesis: John Ronald Reule Tolkien’s life experiences influenced his writing, beginning as a student, then a soldier, lexigrapher, professor, and then a writer to his own children; Tolkien’s life created the place known to most as Middle-Earth.

Thesis: In The Hobbit, Tolkien wants to show the reader that anyone, from any background can step up to a challenge, and be extraordinary rather than ordinary.

Illogical as it is, Lord of the Rings greatly relates to society as it is today. It really shows through the views of logos, ethos, and pathos, especially when you examine and explore the movie’s genre reflection on modern culture and society.

This theme is related to that of when Jesus calls you to do a job are you willing to leave everything behind to accomplish it, even if it means sacrificing your house, possessions, your own life, or even your child ’s. To a degree, one’s reading of The Lord of the Rings, is deepened by a knowledge of The Silmarillion, not just on the level of setting or context, but in terms of literary theme, symbol, and characterization. In terms of symbolism, without reading The Silmarillion beforehand, one would not truly understand the severity of certain character’s explanations.

Tolkien, let the story unfold: Unfettered by the chains of innovation and not blinded by its obscuration of reality, the story itself, had the characters tackle the battles, the triumphs, and the disappointments of the actual good and spiritual humans. That is the thing that great narratives do. The reader is especially attracted to the story in light of the fact that the reader gets the chance to know and admire the real, not cardboard, characters, and the characters are genuine in the light of the fact that they have souls, displaying fundamental goodness in the midst of failings and ready to settle on choices in spite of knowing that choices are however a piece of a bigger story. The reader partakes in a mythic universe of Middle-earth and experiences there—without allegory or specific

reconstructed community thought that through social reform can prevent racial tension but writers were critical of President Roosevelt to find the culprits responsible for the riot.

The Non fictitious World of J.R.R Tolkien When it comes to nonfiction, facts and tell-tale events take hold of the book, leaving nothing but cold hard realities. Whether it is because of the gritty truths that many face or repetitive information presented on a page by page basis, what steers most people away is the lack of imagination. That is exactly why I chose to read Master of Middle-Earth, the fiction of the ever-creative master of nonfiction himself, J.R.R. Tolkien. This book gave me the grand idea of how to get around the dreadful terrors of fiction by finding one about the written fantasies of The Lord of the Rings and to a lesser, but still marvelous extent, The Hobbit.

The influence of outside power in American politics has been around for a long time. It has manifested itself in the form of a spoils system made famous by Andrew Jackson, and the rise of trusts helping to finance elections, which started the precedent of corporate donations to campaigns. While the type of influence has shifted, there has been a trend for corporations to control more in government. This was made clear by the 2010 case Citizens United v. FEC, which lead to the rise of bigger political action committees (Super PACs) and eased regulations on money spending. In Philip Bump’s article “Jeb Bush and the first super PAC-run campaign”, he argues that Super PACs are a natural progression of how modern political campaigns are run. This is not completely false, but he makes no reference to the landmark Citizens United v. FEC, which is the true reason why PACs have risen so dramatically over the last few elections and how they could be cut out as easily as they were allowed in. This is the subject of Paul Blumenthal’s piece “Super PACs and Secret Money.”

People have different responses to the environment, people’s action, and what they value. The same goes for the characters in J.R.R Tolkien’s book The Hobbit as they discover Rivendell, how the people of Rivendell feel about the dwarves, and what the people of Rivendell value.

The novel brings the idea of the secondary world through different elements. In Tolkien’s Middle-Earth the characters are determined by their race. Each race has different moral attributes that they must behave accordingly, it’s difficult for one

In Plato’s Republic, many stories are used as allusions and metaphors to describe the issues being discussed. One of these stories is known as the “Ring of Gyges”, which focuses on a ring with the power to turn the wearer invisible. This story has many similarities to the Ring of Power in The Lord of The Rings and The Hobbit, which also grants the ability to turn invisible. In this essay, I will compare and contrast the “Ring of Gyges” and the events surrounding the Ring of Power in The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit film trilogies.

"Three Rings for the Eleven-kings under the sky, Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone, Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die, One for the Dark Lord on his Dark throne, In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie. One Ring to rule them all, One ring to find them, One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them, In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie(Tolkien)." Master of storytelling J.R.R. Tolkien continues the lives of the fictitious creatures that he introduced in The Hobbit, in his modern classic The Fellowship of the Ring. He artfully illustrates the truths of the evil that plague the hearts of man. He tells a story of greed, destruction and how mortal men are enslaved by

J.R.R. Tolkien’s works have been analysed for decades and have often been criticised for the lack of female characters. Arguably his most cherished publications, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, in particular has been condemned for the passivity of his relatively few female characters. Having said that however, throughout the three books, there are a number of female characters who combat the stereotypical role of women and subvert the norm of submission to a patriarchal authority. Arwen, Éowyn and Galadriel in The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return

Although written in post-war era, “The Lord of the Rings”, in many respects, excessively follows the path of chivalric romances of the middle Ages and supposedly provides no apparent deviation from their usual representation of womanhood as inferior to manhood. Tolkien’s incorporation of a very small number of female characters, and attribution of the stereotypical roles of either the so-called “angels of the house” or the “mad women in the attic” to those few existing female characters has made it easy for critics to label him as a quintessential sexist writer. However, upon closer examination of the novel through the newly opened vista of third-wave feminism _which attempts to set aside the strict binary opposition of man/woman that has
