But he did not like the way children’s literature was like, he thought it needed more so he wrote the stories. In his books he has a very descriptive
Many authors such as, J.R.R Tolkien, use their writing to get entertain, inform, or persuade. While writing the author may put their own opinions in a book or novel. By including a character with certain traits they believe to be viewed in a positive light or they may include a character that has traits they view in a negative light. Tolkien also shows two sides he feels may be needed for a journey like this,physical strength and intelligence. Intelligence is more important and Tolkien shows what he feels is positive through Bilbo the main character and negative through Bilbo’s enemies.
“The Hobbit,” a timeless classic containing dragons, dwarves, elves and more, is a great tale to read again and again. But “The Hobbit” is not only impressive because of all the daring adventures, it is impressive because of how the story develops.

Tolkien takes his audience along with Bilbo Baggins through each step of the hero’s journey developing greatly along the way. Each part of the story plays a crucial role to piece together the masterpiece that is “The Hobbit.”
This relates to Tolkien’s life with the Germans in WWI. (World War One) The Germans were a very powerful nation, and they used this power to start a world war. Tolkien saw first hand the massive numbers of deaths in the war, all of his friends except one survived. This all happened because Germany used their power very unwisely and irresponsibly.

J.R.R. Tolkien Gage Frazier The reason I chose J.R.R. Tolkien is that after reading more into him and his background I come to like how he took his pass experiences from his past and use it to create his later works like the hobbit and an example of this is how is holds a compelling examples of bravery, loyalty, generosity, treachery, vanity and selfishness punished withal this it’s manly about learning to be unselfish in a selfish world most of all its about having maturity. Another, significant factor in this is the obstacles Tolkien had to take to become who he is and to achieve what he wanted an example of this is that both his parents died in his child hood life and then
“In a hole in the ground, there lived a hobbit (Tolkien 1.1).” English author J.R.R Tolkien first wrote down those words over 60 years ago, which became the beginning of the allegorical classic, The Hobbit. The Hobbit takes place in a fantasy world called “Middle Earth” and tells the story of a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins. Throughout the story, Bilbo changes as a character; from the protagonist to the hero. Many literary devices are used throughout The Hobbit that add humour, suspense, and/or affect the characters in some ways.
Tolkien uses a large amount of imagery in his writing which can be seen through setting or places
J. R. R. Tolkien’s book The Hobbit is a novel that is not only showing a heroic quest, but is a fantasy and satire. It is written in the third person, almost exclusively from Bilbo, the protagonist's
While inside The Lord of the Rings, time marches inexorably. The days from Bilbo’s birthday on 22 September to the farewell at Rivendell on 25 December rush past. The days Frodo spends in the Dead Marshes and within the gates of Mordor drag, the time is supposed to be going on yet it feels like we are stuck. The fairy-story, as Tolkien sees it, is a world outside of time: yet an awareness of time pervades The Lord of the Rings and its appendices. Instead, Tolkien uses this device as a setting for the hero’s disappearance, for the year prepares the reader for Frodo’s departure.
Tolkien’s highly intricate imagery of malignance makes apparent the uncertainty encircling the company and sets the frightful mood over which Bilbo’s courage must prevail. His ominous description of Mirkwood Forest explains the hesitation in the company to pass onto the realm where “The entrance to the path was like a sort of arch leading into a gloomy tunnel”(153). The imagery evoked by “Trees … too old and strangled with ivy… to bear more than a few blackened leaves” (153) places the reader in the foreboding atmosphere in which the company is presently ensnarled, and effectively forewarns of sorcery, monsters and misery at play. Days into the forest, constant hunger gnaws at the company, leading them to disperse round and round in an entranced dream-like state. Then, somewhere in the pitch-dark night, Bilbo strikes dead a most nefarious enemy.
Tolkien’s message is just even the smallest deeds and people can do great things. This applies to people in general because even if you are small compared to someone else you may have the bigger heart, and you can change the chorus of the future. The message applies to me because I may be out numbered but if I stay with my heart nothing can mentally get in my way. I liked the book because I could connect with some of the dwarves, like Fili because he is the youngest and he has an over brother, Kili, and i have an over protective sister. I also liked it because I was crying when Thorin died because I am a very sensitive person and Thorin was one of my favorites.

In the film Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) the main idea or message is how powerful and precious friendship is and that true friends will help you when you need it the most. I will justify that friendship is very valuable by analysing the belief of the main characters by explaining their religious belief. This essay will also explain how the ring symbolize destruction but it also symbolize the creating of a long and meaningful friendships. This essay will analyse the rituals that takes place in the film and how they change the characters by showing them how valuable friendship is to have.
Eichel also presents an extremely black and white perspective on foreignization vs. domestication. Additionally, Eichel chose an unnecessarily sophisticated language for his essay and over exaggerated the way Tolkien’s translation changes the original, as well as its “obscurity.”
