    Ring by J.R.R Tolkien is set in a fanciful world filled with strange creatures and magical happenings‚ but not everything is so unlike our world. Many of the characters change over the course of the story‚ just as we do over the course of our lives. Frodo‚ the main character and the carrier of the magical ring‚ is part of the mythical race of Hobbits‚ yet he is remarkably human. He has the same values as we do‚ and his small size hides his big heart. His journey throughout the novel changes his life

    J.K. Rowling: Critiqued and Beloved Success is a two-headed dragon‚ with great success also comes great criticism. To be successful‚ a person should be able to take one with another‚ take the criticism in stride and use it. J.K. Rowling‚ the world renowned author of the Harry Potter series‚ does just that with criticism like “…written for people whose imaginative lives are confined to TV cartoons‚” (Byatt) and also being called “derivative and clichéd” (Del Negro).

    Catching Fire is better than The Hunger Games in some key areas of storytelling‚ but it does not redeem this blockbuster trilogy of its principal flaw: its future is never fully believable.
