Lord Of The Rings Trilogy And The Hobbit
In The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and The Hobbit, J. R. R. Tolkien uses an interspecies friendship, a interclass friendship, and obligatory alliances to bring together the people of Middle Earth and to examine the effect war has on people. Through Legolas’s and Gimli’s unlikely friendship between elves and dwarves, Frodo’s and Sam’s loyal friendship between employer and employee, and the coming together of all the species for the Battle of Five Armies, Tolkien displays how war’s devastating consequences helps people empathize with others and brings them together.

    The Hobbit Themes

    The Hobbit, by J.R.R Tolkien is a fantasy book set in the medieval ages.

    All Quiet On The Western Front: An Analysis

    War is a very controversial topic for many people. Depending on the person’s outlook on the war, it can be depicted as something good or bad. War brings destruction wherever it goes, whether it is on a place or the people, and it ultimately is inevitable. War also protects a country from having further destruction and keeps the people at home safe from any danger. As a person can see in many recordings of war, there are many comparisons and contrasts that are expressed through soldiers, veterans, and civilians. Some comparisons seen in many of the testimonies given by effected people are dehumanization, dislocation, and alienation; but they also have contrasts that can be seen through nationalism, technological advancements, and the coming home for many…

    Hobbit

    I will be talking about Gandalf’s role in the story and how he is like a father figure to Bilbo. The Hobbit was wrote by J. R. R. Tolkien. We first see Gandalf at the beginning of the story when he meets Bilbo at his hobbit hole. The first impression the story gives us about Gandalf is he is wise and every time he visits he tells adventourus stories. Gandalf is a old wise wizard, who isn’t interested in the gold the dwarves were looking for but to push Bilbo into a new life style.…

    Pride In The Iliad

    The history of wars and battles can be dated back almost to the beginning of time and has since been a prominent motif in stories from various cultures and religions. Centuries later, descriptions of fighting styles to warriors to weapons, has greatly evolved.

    1. The difference and similarities among leadership, leader, and leading are that leadership is a function, which can be fulfilled by a person but also shared by a group. In the movie, The Hobbit, Thorin showed examples of leadership. Thorin exerted his leadership by fighting the pale orc that beheaded his father in battle. As the dwarf army retreated after seeing the king die, Thorin stayed and fought cutting off the hand of the orc. This showed leadership by stepping up in the time of battle with no king. In the article it stated that Leaders have to deal with searching for new fitting identities. We do not expect leadership from only leaders. Followers can also show leadership. In the movie the dwarfs helped Thorin make certain decisions that would benefit the group. Bilbo, the hobbit, showed leadership in their adventure by stalling the trolls from eating the horses.
