The Last Homely House

Elrond condemns the dwarves love of gold and treasure. The elves value honor, loyalty, and keeping what rightfully belongs to them. That is one of the reasons the dwarves hate the elves too. Elrond thinks that the dwarves love for gold and treasure will take over them. Elrond does not recommend them to go on the adventure. Another reason that he does not want them to go on the adventure is they will be facing a dragon with normal weapons. Not even guns! There is no way they will make it out alive. Elrond is making a smart decision by saying they should not go on the

“But men remembered little of all that, though some still sang old songs of the dwarf-kings of the Mountain, Thror and Dragon, and the fall of the lords of Dale.” (Tolkien 176)

The Great House, the largest prehistoric native American structure in North America, is a four-story building constructed by ancient Sonoran Desert people, the Hohokam. The Hohokam were native American tribes that vanished in the 1400’s leaving behind archaeological evidence of a sophisticated culture, revealing advanced canal systems, and the “Casa Grande,” a big house in the Sonoran Desert valley. Missionary, explorer and mapmaker Eusibio Francisco Kino, was the first European to discover the site in 1694 and named it “Casa Grande”. After the railroad came through in 1879, travelers would scratch their names into the walls, some took artifacts, even pieces of the wall were taken as souvenirs. In 1889, Congress voted to take action to protect

I can totally see him holding baby Legolas, completely awestruck and dotting, and ridiculing himself just to make that little bundle laugh, and looking at his wife like she is the single most amazing being ever. From Tolkien's side I couldn't find anything about the Queen of Mirkwood or Legolas' date of birth, with makes it impossible to get the movie canon comment about her dying in a battle in or near Angmar in a "proper" historical context. I imagine Legolas was very young when she died, and that Tauriel's family/clan was whipped out around the same time, probably by the same cause. She was all alone, and Thranduil felt like he would fade from grief, so he sort-of adopted her; probably hoping that this way she and Legolas would always have someone by their side. It worked, except for the part where Thranduil didn't fade.

The Hobbit contains many different characters such as Bilbo, the dwarves, and the elves of Rivendell, all of which have their own opinions. Thoughts about Rivendell and the expedition vary from wonderful to foolish. Since the preferences of the characters are so diverse, that also means that the elves admire different value, such as their love for music and their consideration for others.

Elli is trying to help the people in Khafpur, but they don’t trust him. I believe even though Elli had connection with the lawyer, she came to help Animal and the victims in Khafpur. I trust Elli, but the only one in this

“So, have you told thorin or his companions of your plans, or how you received the map and key?” asked Elrond as the passed trough a great hall and into a small passageway “No” he responded “Thorin would never accept how Thror’s fate came, or that I witnessed it. He would have adjusted his goals to the necromancer, killing them all.” of course Gandalf was speaking out of assumptions, but wizards are very wise, that is how he escaped… but this story is about the overthrowing, not the escape from, the necromancer. Elrond and Gandalf walked into a great hall together before Saruman the white wizard. This wizard was not like Radagast or Gandalf, nor like the blue wizards who traveled south of middle earth and could not attend. This wizard had power unlike the others and was a direct descendant of the Valar, and the leader of the Istari. The three wizards discussed the threat for several hours and finally came to the decision of avoiding conflicts and returning to their respective lands. Gandalf, of course, could not stand for this. Having one of the most dangerous threats in two thousand four hundred years in the home of his great cousin, Radagast. See Mirkwood was not always Mirkwood. Mirkwood used to be a land known as “greenwood the great”, but when the necromancer arrived he changed the land into a world of darkness. Spiders claimed all but the paths and the sun was blotched out by a

Elrond was the chief of the elves and an elf himself in Rivendell. In the book it says while he was looking at the a map Elrond shook his head as if he altogether disapproved of dwarves. He already knew that dwarves had a love of gold. On the other hand he hated the cruel wickedness of dragons. He grieved to remember the destruction of the town of dale it burned it’s banks of the bright river running. So you can already tell Elrond past on dragons are displeasing and unacceptable to him.

Anatomy: The Elven race is a variation of humans. As such, they share much of their anatomy with their Human ancestors. The major difference between Elves and humans is their appearance. They have a smaller, more fragile frame. This makes them much more aesthetically pleasing, and more attractive in general. However, this comes at the cost of strength and endurance. This downside means that their purpose is to look pretty, rather than fight or work. Although their most distinguishable feature would have to be their pointed ears. They also possess soft skin along with a wide colour palette in terms of their appearance. Elves can have a skin tone similar to volcanic ash or even a bronze. Their eye and

Tolkien’s Middle-Earth saga has thusly been rampant with characters who, in such a respect, are generally underestimated, or forced into situations extended out from their true potential. Hobbits stand with those most simply and succinctly representing of that former category, and, in conjunction to their shared company, and unique views to the grandiose proceedings at hand, those with them are, knowingly and otherwise, shown truth to their own utmost qualities, absent from the apocalyptic scope of mounting conflict. Having delved extensively into the man who Théoden King truly is, and establishing his overall fairness, especially where his people’s best interests are concerned, Denethor, leading Steward over Gondor, would seem as utterly paling

Elrond expects Arwen to fulfill her role as Elven royalty by traveling with the people of Rivendell to Grey Havens, to find peace and everlasting life in Valinor. However, she wishes to remain in Middle Earth to be Aragorn’s partner thereby giving up her immortality. Although at first Arwen honours her father’s wishes and embarks on the journey with the Elven people to the Havens, she returns to Rivendell after she has a vision of what she believes to be her future, and confronts her father with it. The vision was of her son and Aragorn, a vision which brings her hope and strengthens her will to remain in Middle Earth. This strength is different to what was expected of women at that time. It allows Arwen to rebel against her father’s will and follow the destiny she chooses for herself. Her choice, however, is ironic because she longs to fulfill the duties of a housewife, which other female characters in the Lord of the Rings rebel against, such as Éowyn.

The older dwarf was sitting across from Thorin calmly contemplating around his pipe, while most of the company finished their long breakfast. Gandalf was off somewhere with their enigmatic host. A few of them were out of doors, including their rather surprising burglar, no

Throughout “The Harlot’s House” by Oscar Wilde we see three main contrasts: dawn and dusk, “We” and “I”, and lust and love. The poem begins with the two lovers (we) strolling through an impoverished area at night where they stop to observe the activities taking place inside a harlot’s house, “We caught the tread of dancing feet / We loitered down the moonlit street / and stopped beneath the harlot’s house” (1-3). Through out the poem Wilde continues to use the pronoun, “we”, to emphasize their intimacy and love; at the end of the poem however the lovers become separate and the narrator describes only his opinion, “Then, turning to my love, I said, / The dead are dancing with the dead, /The dust is whirling with the dust.' He then goes on to
