These movie starts by describing the setting where the hobbits lived and spend their lives in holes. Communication started by Bilbo saying “Good morning” to the grey wizard; although the wizard asked him if he wishes a good morning or that good things will happen in that morning and so on. The great wizard named Gandalf offered an adventure to Bilbo, therefore he thought about the offer and denied by saying good morning again and entering the hole where he lived.

A hero is someone or something who helps others with an honorable purpose, or a person who possesses traits that others could see as the traits of a role model. In my mind, Frodo Baggins holds these heroic characteristics and, in the end, made choices to assist the well-being of his companions. Frodo’s efforts display that he is concerned for the future of all living things and does not act simply based on his own wants. For instance, when Gandalf questions Frodo of the Ring’s prospect, Frodo chooses to eliminate it. Though he would be destroyed, as well as others, it proves later that he did not do it to benefit only himself. Furthermore, in a meeting discussing the Ring’s future, Frodo volunteers to bring it to the evil land of Mordor. Any…
Although 'The Lord of the Rings' is a completely different text in almost every respect, both texts display the effects of a physical journey extremely well.

Even though Britain was at the height of its power, and the United States had a ragtag army and limited resources, America was the unlikely victor.

First of all, allies such as France and Spain aided them on many different grounds that pulled them to victory. Strength was also found in the leadership from the generals, particularly George Washington.…

The narration of the hobbits seems like it is all bullshit, yet it gives the narrator authority, since he seems as he knows what the fuck was going on. He indicates that the hobbits still exists - which makes it even more bullshit.…

One example of the theme of good versus evil in The Lord of The Rings is expressed through the never-ending struggle in the Lord of the Rings. Tolkien sets the story with a lovable small character by the name of Frodo. Frodo is a hobbit from Shire. A hobbit is a character created by Tolkien that possesses a very small human form along with rabbit like qualities. They are characterized by sociability, domesticity and a peaceful nature. Hobbits symbolize much of the good in the story. Frodo inherits the infamous ring from his uncle Bilbo. The ring is where all the evil lies. The ring having an evil power to the beholder has the ability to posses everyone and everything that comes into contact with it. If the beholder loses the ring they must begin a quest to recover the ring. A quest, by definition has to be unsafe. Evil…
