The Lord Of The Rings

“The world is not in your books and maps.” - J.R.R Tolkien.  ‘The Hobbit’, written by Tolkien which was published in 1937, follows the journey of a “reluctant hobbit” who sets out on a unexpected adventure to the Lonely Mountains, with a “spirited group” of dwarves and a “talented wizard”, to reclaim their mountain home - and the gold within it - from the dragon Smaug.  Through this dynamic text, Tolkien conveys to the reader the value of community and property; the quest - both for “treasure” and heroic stature and lastly the influence of race, lineage and character in a novel.  J.R.R Tolkien successfully conveys these ideas through different characters

The Lord of The Ring’s trilogy is considered one of the greatest Hollywood films in the century. These films have broken several movie records for the Hollywood industry. Also, these movies relate with an all age audience because of the great development of all the characters in the movie. To be clear, some would say that they feel like they know the characters after watching the trilogy. In my experience after watching the trilogy, it left me in aww because the different aspects of film it portrayed. Nevertheless, after watching the trilogy twice I became more familiar with some metaphors the author, J.R Tolkien, was trying to reveal. Overall, these metaphors can be seen through the Ring, Gandalf’s role and the friendship between Frodo and Sam.

“The hobbit” and “Lord of the rings” were already became a famous sign of fantasy literature. Their author created a fantastic and great world for us to imagine. No matter teenagers or elders are loving his work. He contributed a lot to the literature and whole world. There are a lot of meaningful questions about Tolkien and his work deserving us to find out answer. Why he written these books? How he contributes and influences literature and world?

There is no doubt that John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was an exceptional writer. Today, he is considered the father of modern fantasy literature. However, he did not start off as this extraordinary writer; rather, Tolkien worked his way up until he attained this status. John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born on January 3rd of 1892 in a South African province. At an early age, his mother, Mabel, took him and his younger brother, Hilary, on a family visit to England; however, before his father, Arthur, could join them in England, Arthur had died from rheumatic fever. Without an income, Mabel took her children to live with her in Kings Heath with her parents. Mabel sparked John Ronald Reuel Tolkien’s interests in botany, drawing, and fantasy

From the first readings of The Temple to recently The Thing on the Doorstep, there have been a variety of different settings and characters with each author writing his or her story and building a strong setting to help build even stronger characters helps when they are trying to correlate an idea into the story. For example when writing The Fall of the House of Usher, I am certain that Edgar Allen Poe was already aware that for him to have a good story, he had to build the characters around the setting, and writing about the big ominous House of Usher by describing it like the narrator describes the house for the first time, “I reined my horse to the precipitous brink of a black and lurid tarn that lay in unruffled lustre by the dwelling, and gazed down--but with a shudder

Setting plays an important role in the development of any story. The setting and atmosphere of a story helps the reader visual what’s going on and help the author convey symbols to their audience. Araby has two major approaches to setting, dark and light. Joyce uses both these setting templates to convey to the reader how the boy is interacting with the world around him.

Tolkien's fantasy world was derived from his memory of his childhood, where he spent his time in delectation of the english countryside. The remembrance of his time spent at Sarehole instilled in Tolkien a great love of nature and simplicity, which made the foundation for a main theme of his 'The interrelationships of the 'noble' and 'simple'';. All of his noble creatures such as his elves and hobbits exercise respect and understanding of nature.

Tolkien's life from the hand of Michael White. The biography explores Tolkien's journey from poor and parentless child to one of the most prolific literary writers of the 20th Century. In what can be described as a personable account of Tolkien's life, White describes J.R.R's life as a young child raised in South Africa; the saddening loss of his parents at a very young age; his blossoming love for Edith Brett; Tolkien's devotion to his career as a professor at Oxford; the friendship he had with C.S. Lewis and how this influenced his work ; the inspiration for The Hobbit from a hole is some carpet; and how The Lord of the Rings became a literary masterpiece in the 20th Century, eventually becoming a world renowned film and gaming franchise. This book provided a great deal of elaboration and, more vitally, context on some of the facts stated in the Tolkien Society's very formal and somewhat vague online timeline. Each of the key dates mentioned are put into perspective and suddenly we see Tolkien not just as a fact but as a person with character, a man who suffered and succeeded in equal measure. The biography itself is written in such a way that it feels like a fictional novel and that is refreshing because it brings a sense of intrigue into Tolkien's personal journey, I liken Tolkien then to his beloved Hobbit travelling through Middle Earth. The way this particular book was written

In J.R.R. Tolkien’s world renowned novel, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, what can be inferred almost right from looking at the novel is that it’s mainly about rings or a single ring. This ring was said to have been owned by an extremely evil lord, Sauron, who wishes to use the ring’s immense power to enslave and control all of the land and people. The ring finds its way into the hands of a Hobbit who goes by Frodo Baggins, and the story basically unfolds from there. Tolkien mainly tries to express themes such as the controlling influence of power as well as the strength between friendships and bonds through the uses of setting and tone. The setting greatly influences the novel and the characters in many ways with loads of

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

J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings depicts one of the great examples of why people love the genre of fiction. In fiction, authors do everything for a reason; something small, seeming insignificant could be adding shape and life to the story. Fiction opens up the reader’s mind to new ideas and expands their imagination through fantasies. Authors write stories for many reasons, but the reader can interpret the story however they want making it even more meaningful. Tolkien’s main aspect in The Lord of the Rings is his creation of a whole other world full of adventure that takes the reader away from reality while reading.

JRR Tolkien, commonly credited as the ‘father of fantasy’, has developed a unique and individualistic plot set in middle earth-a land of elves, fairies and all that is mystical. Tolkien, a linguist and professor, used literature to create various parallels between his life and the events in his novels. J.R.R Tolkien was inspired by World War I British society, his education, and Roman Catholicism when writing his fantasy novels, such as The Hobbit and The Silmarillion.

“J.R.R. Tolkien” is often the first name that comes to mind when one thinks of popular fantasy writers. Writing stories ever since he was a young child, he had always experimented with language and the creation of his own little world. J.R.R. Tolkien’s masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, has greatly influenced the fantasy genre and set an example for fantasy writers around the world.

A boy by the name of John Ronald Reuel Tolkien had a rough childhood but had such a creative mind. Tolkien attended Exeter College, Oxford where he studied philology, the study of languages. He was so interested in languages, that while in college he created his own language for his Middle-earth novels that he later wrote. “Tolkien’s secondary world has such great contemporary appeal for readers. Middle Earth seems almost consciously designed as a fictional, and some feel, allegorical, substitute for the technological, fragmented world of the twentieth century” (Kolich 14). Tolkien writes one of his best novels called The Lord of the Rings during the time of World War I trench warfare. The first book of the three series of The Lord of the Rings that Tolkien writes is called The Fellowship of the Ring. A young boy named Frodo must leave the Shire to destroy a dangerous ring. Frodo being such a small and scared boy meant that no one could imagine that he would be the one to save his town.

Throughout his work, Tolkien exemplifies the characteristics found in accepted works of literature and asserts himself as a literary author.
