The Ring

birthday, I was given a ring by my aunt. It is a thin, plain, gold band. It is, dented, dull and by today’s standards not very flashy but it has sentimental value. The importance of the ring is the story behind it and what it symbolizes: my great grandfather went through years of struggle and sacrifice to purchase a wedding ring for his wife, my great grandmother. Even though they were both born and raised in Italy, they wedded in America….to pursue a better life. The ring was passed down generation

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

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. The Ring of Gyges is found when “a violent thunderstorm and

Lord of the Rings trilogy, spanned from 2001-2003, is a series of dramatic mythical movies based on the fantasy novels The Lord of the Rings: The fellowship of the Ring, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Peter Jackson’s attention to detail and graphic design enhanced the film and produced the mythical fantasies and wonders displayed in the book series. His choice of music added dramatic effect that added intensity. The Lord of the Rings trilogy’s

The Power of Language in The Lord of the Rings How powerful can language really be? In The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien there are a lot of powers that the characters have and what I noticed most was the power of language. The characters I found most knowledgeable and skilled with the power of language are Tom Bombadil, Frodo Baggins, Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf the Grey, and Galadriel. The power of language is shown in a variety of characters and is used to guide the story, also, Tolkien views

meaning. There is an immense amount of symbolism used throughout both poems, and many different things can be taken away about the author’s thoughts religion, nature, and the battle between good and evil in one’s mind. In the novel, The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R Tolkien, there is seemingly a lot left up in the air about religion and the symbolism of nature, but when read the way the author intended, there are a few very strong themes that resemble those portrayed in “The Tyger” and “The Lamb”. Throughout

Cues 46, 47, and 48 in “The Fellowship of the Ring” present several different moods in a rather short span of time. The themes and leitmotifs featured in these cues include the Rivendell theme, which features the Weakness and Redemption eighth note leitmotif, the Evil Times theme, and the song “Aniron.” Just listening to these different musical moments, you can already hear the diverse amount of action that takes place leading up to the creation of the fellowship while they are all gathering in Rivendell

The Middle Earth Charter Darkness extended over all of Middle Earth like a veil during the time of war, and new laws were enforced to reduce the citizen’s freedom. The magic ring represents the unsustainability of the environment, and the characters of Middle Earth. In The Lord of the Rings, Tolkien uses the magic ring to reflect politics of sustainability, by drawing from his own life experiences. The Earth Charter is a list of international principles supporting a sustainable and peaceful world

conceived by the ring of power, the one ring that’s sole purpose is to bring evil to the world and destroy the race of man. In the epic novel “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” by J. R. R. Tolkien, the author uses the ring as a symbol of evil that corrupts almost every soul it encounters. Tolkien carefully uses the ring to symbolize how even the smallest objects can cause so much pain and death and bring fear to the hearts in Middle Earth (setting in the book). The ring lies in the

Absolute good can not be achieved without selflessness. This is seen in every form of fictional literature through the situations that the characters are placed in. For example, the book Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien follows a group of adventurers attempting to destroy a powerful ring in an effort to rid Middle Earth from evil. Additionally, the movie Interstellar similarly follows a crew looking for a planet to replace a dying Earth for a humanity that is suffering widespread famine. In
