The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring By J. R.

262 Words2 Pages

My book is called The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring by J. R. R. Tolkien. In my book, they are on the bottom of a hill and the Dark Riders(the enemy) are coming up on them. They feel the presence of great evil in the air, and they all freak out. Frodo put on the ring and become invisible, mistakenly becoming halfway into the world of the riders, and becoming more vulnerable. He lashed out and attacked one of the Dark Riders, getting seriously injured in the process, though his sword did nothing. Overall, he made a bad decision. If I was in his place, I would have stayed by the fire and set a branch on fire, hoping to spook their horses or burn them. If that didn’t keep them away, I would probably make a barrier of fire in front

  • The Heroic Quest Patterns In The Hobbit, By J. R.

    938 Words  | 4 Pages

    On earth there are four seasons, winter, spring, summer, and fall. Each year they go in the same order like a pattern, like the seasons many books follow a set pattern. Joseph Campbell, an American mythologist, writer and lecturer, discovered a pattern in stories about heroes and wrote all the ten stages of the pattern he called the Heroic Quest Pattern. In J.R.R Tolkien’s novel The Hobbit, Tolkien uses the the Heroic Quest pattern to write about Bilbo Baggins adventure to defeat Smaug, the goblins and the wargs. Campbell’s ten stages of the Heroic Quest are included inside The Hobbit and are categorized into three categories; departure, trials, and return.

Tolkien, follows the story of a regular Hobbit named Bilbo Baggins, who goes on an incredible journey in search of wealth and, unbeknownst to him, his own self-worth.

    It is my firm belief that every artist has a moment of inspiration, where they come upon their favorite form of medium and fall in love. My ‘love at first sight’ was with illustrations, and happened when I was four years old. My grandpa used to sit me and my sister on the sofa with him and crack open an old volume of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S Lewis. As we flew into the world of Lucy, Edmund, Peter, and Susan, I was enchanted by the beautiful and whimsical illustrations made by Pauline Baynes. I loved the inky black and white world, where Lucy was taking her first steps into Narnia, hand in hand with Mr. Tumnus.

Baum's children's story was a "parable on populism," a "vibrant and ironic portrait" of America on the eve of the new century. In the book form of Oz, Dorothy treads the Yellow Brick Road in silver shoes, not in ruby shoes.

  • The Percy Jackson Series By Rick Riordan

    During my senior year in high school I read the Percy Jackson series, the first five books, by Rick Riordan for a project in my Honors Latin class. The Percy Jackson books are based around the existence of Greek Gods and mythology in the modern world. What I loved about the books was that it incorporated events from world history and explained them through godly interference. Much like Homer, the author of the Epic Poems, The Odyssey and Iliad, Riordan uses his books not just to entertain. Riordan explains events that were mysteries through stories to give the people answers on questions that could not be explained through logic and science.
