The Three-Ring Prison Essay

2002 marked the 135th year since the statue had reached the shores of America (Hackmann 1). As the result of a promise, the replica of Our Lady found its new home in southern Indiana. Following their capture and shipment to the horrid Civil War prison at Andersonville, four young men—Isidore Naviaux, Henry Devillez, Lambert Rogier, and Xavier Rogier—endured appalling conditions and made an oath to pay tribute to Our Lady of Consolation if one survived. Naviaux, along with the others, did not…

Middle-Earth come to the meeting, and discuss what to do with the ring. Of course they deicide that they must destroy it, but the problem is none will volunteer themselves to go into the Lands of Mordor, and throw it into the Cracks of Doom. The council begins to fight, and then suddenly Frodo stands up and says, "I will take the ring to Mordor, though I do not know the way." So Gandulf decides he will go so does Strider, Merry, Pippin, Sam, and three others from the council. Boromir, Legalous, and Gimil…

the story of The Hobbit, a hobbit called Bilbo Baggins has stolen the ring from a hideous creature called Gollum. Somehow, this ring ends up with Frodo Baggins, Bilbo's nephew and all of a sudden, Frodo is at the center of this epic tale involving the ring that he knows very little about. The wizard, Gandalf, warns Frodo that he should leave the shire (as Bilbo has given him the ring) and keep the ring out of Sauron's hands. They meet a fellow hobbits merry and pippin who…

wore the One Ring he could perceive all the things that where done by means of the lesser rings, and he could see and govern the very thoughts of those that wore them.”(Tolkien, The Silmarillion 589) The people recognize the power of the One Ring as soon as Sauron puts the One Ring on his finger. They realize that he can control their thoughts. This makes the people decide to remove their rings and never use them. The people and Sauron become bitter enemies while the One Ring remains in Sauron’s…

My three most memorable shots were the focus on the phone with Becca and Katie in the background as I feel it builds tension well. The high angle shot, with Katie at the bottom of the stairs and the camera pointing down on her, so we perceive her as being vulnerable, and finally the focus on the clock showing ten o'clock, as it related well to the point they were talking about. The music and sound effects vary throughout the whole opening sequence. To start off with…

These two leaders may be the strongest piece of argument that Tolkien based his trilogy on the bible. The second way that The Bible and The Lord of the Rings clashes on similarities is the evilness and usage of greed and the overall evil enemy. In the Bible it is the “Devil”(Bible) and in The Lord of the Rings it is the evil lord “Sauron”. Both of the two resemble in physical features especially. Sauron is portrayed in two forms in the books, one is an evil man in a set of armor with blackness…

Both jail and prison offer some type of early released programs, in this case probation and parole will briefly be discussed. Probation is a prison sentence that is suspended on the condition that the offender follow certain prescribed rules and commit no further crime (Seiter, 2008). Parole is similar to probation except that it is after a period of incarceration, which involved determinate and indeterminate sentencing (Seiter, 2008). The other types of prison sentencing include mandatory minimums…

This promotes good behavior in prison and keeps the prison population lower. However, many released prisoners just commit another crime and are returned to jail. In 1992, one in three state prison admissions was a probation or parole violator.(Byrne 50) Also, a special report from the United States Bureau of Justice Statistics stated: State courts in 32 counties across 17 States sentenced 79,000 felons to probation in 1986. Within 3 years of sentencing, while still on probation, 43% of these…

To throw it in the eternal fire, which is the only place the ring, can be destroyed, but they have to travel through Gondor the evil land that Sauron has taken over. Through Emyn Muil, the Dead Marshes, around Sauron’s Black Riders, and Gate, to Mount Doom, and destroy the ring. For the other party in the story, their goal is to stop Saruman, and his army. First they get the help from Rohan, and its king. Then they travel for the dark tower, but they are slowed down by the millions of Orcs and corrupt…

Prison life can be harsh, and time spent in a isolation is even worse. A majority of those in prison spend countless hours in idleness. It would be much better if they used that time to reeducate themselves for a productive life on the outside. Some of the prisoners have serious emotional and mental problems that are never addressed and it is illogical to not attempt to correct these problems before they are released. There are even worse scenarios that exist in today's prisons. The prison…
