It is described as the place where the hero feels comfortable and the place that the hero lives and feels normal. For Samwise Gamgee or Sam the ordinary world is the Shire. The Shire is located in Eriador in Middle Earth where the free people live. The inhabitants of the Shire are called Hobbits or Halflings and they spend their days nursing their crops and smoking the occasional pipe-weed, a tobacco like leaf. The Hobbits are a very shy group and stick to themselves and only leave the Shire when they have to.
In “DREAM On,” by Mark Krikorian, he states that the DREAM Act will not work. Using Toulmin’s system to analyze Krikorian’s effectiveness of his argument, makes it easier to understand the impact that was received from his words. Krikorian is writing to those that agree with his way of thinking. Toulmin’s system consists of an enthymeme, a warrant, grounds, backing, conditions of rebuttal, and qualifiers. These can be used to evaluate the logical structure of Krikorian’s argument.
Lastly, I would like to briefly mention how the yard sale of Bilbo’s property as he returned home slightly resembles the end of The Odyssey, where the hero Odysseus returns home after much traveling to many unkind strangers crowding his wife and home. Bilbo, too, had to metaphorically fight to reclaim what was his from the many people to whom his properties had been sold.
There are many places on earth and across the universe that are unknown. In the book the Hobbit Bilbo faces the terrain of the Misty Mountains which is unknown to him. I've been to many places in my life where I have been unaware to where I am. There are many ways to cope or get through these unknown areas.
Finally, Danforth allowed people, he knew were innocent, to be hanged. As the story went on, Danforth was starting to believe less and less what the girls were saying about the witches. But Danforth was too worried about his reputation to say that the accused were not guilty. In Act IV, Danforth said, “Twelve already executed: the names of these seven are give out, and the village expects to see them die this morning. Postponement now speaks a floundering on my part..”
No… I’m from Earth. In federation space. BILBO Right…
“The Interpretation of Facts for Freshmen Concerning The University of Illinois” is a revision essay for the first major assignment of the RHET 105 E5 class teach by Professor Ms. Mary Hays. In this assignment, I am required to write a Toulmin-style rhetorical analysis of an object found in the archive at the University of Illinois. I have made several substantial change to this essay which I will explain in detail in the following paragraphs. To clarify the type of the essay, I changed the entire structure of this essay. In the previous essay, I tried to include the rhetoric triangle in the Toulmin analysis.
Toulmin is a form of writing analysis that is most commonly used for research purposes. The article is about the issue of illegal immigration and solutions proposed to Congress by both legislative branches, the House of Representatives and Senate. The authors, Michael S. Dukakis and Daniel J. B. Mitchell, propose their own solution to the problem. The article does not present a reasonable argument.
Katie Valentine Professor Seth Martin English 102 5 March 2024 Toulmin Analysis and an Addition to the Symposium The Symposium written by Plato is a collection of numerous speeches given on love. The speech given by Aristophanes was the one I was most interested in and curious about. His speech was distinctly different from the others, and it created a comedic yet still serious claim while looking at the history of love, creating a comedic yet still serious masterpiece. The Toulmin method helped in analyzing Aristophanes' speech and when writing a speech of my own on the same topic.
The Hobbit Literary Analysis Would you be able to step out of your comfort zone for the sake of adventure and a promise of treasure? This was the predicament Bilbo Baggins is unexpectedly presented with one sunny afternoon. Thirteen dwarves appear at his door and put forward their offer. Bilbo is a little apprehensive at first but soon comes to the realization that in his ordinary life of a Hobbit in the Shire he will never get another opportunity like this again. When reading The Hobbit, being able to step out of your comfort zone is a major key.
Hobbits are known to be unassuming folk “who disappear quietly and quickly” (3). The story begins with a picture of the humdrum life of the hobbits peppered with descriptions of the mundane, from Bilbo’s house to his “enormous long wooden pipe that reached nearly down to his woolly toes (neatly brushed)” (3); Tolkien makes sure that the reader knows that Bilbo is of an unremarkable sort. Bilbo, a hobbit of Baggins and Took lineage, displays his Baggins’ side when he first hears of the wizard Gandalf’s seemingly nonchalant proposition. The Bagginses are known to be “very respectable … because they never had any adventures or did anything expected” (3). Anxious of whatsoever good a perilous undertaking would offer, and its sure likelihood of death, the gentlemanly Mr. Baggins flatly declines: “We are plain, quiet folk and have no use for adventures.

The plot which is why the book is famous, is very well constructed and interesting. It is about a Hobbit( Hobbit’s are people who has a height below average and had no sense of adventure) named Bilbo Baggins. He lived a comfortable life in hobbit hole located in Bag end in middle Earth until one day, Gandalf the wizard and thirteen dwarves came set him out on an adventure to steal back a treasure which
From the image we can conclude that, for instance, The Shire is located in south-west England, Rohan is located in southern Germany, Helm’s Deep corresponds to the Franco-German-Swiss border, Eriador represents Britanny, The Sea of Rhûn is located in the place of the current Black Sea, while Gondor is placed in the plains of northern Italy. Even though it would be naive to believe that Tolkien intended to create Middle-earth as similar to Europe as possible, due to his lack of geological knowledge, the similarity is still very interesting. Moreover, “because the three-part novel was largely written during the second world war, some readers see it as an allegory for World War II, where, in the European theater, the Axis and Allies powers fought
Legend has it that Professor John Ronald Reuel Tolkien of the University of Oxford was at his desk one summer 's day in 1930 wearily correcting examination papers when he came upon a page in an answer-book that was left blank. " In a hole in the ground," he wrote on the page, "there lived a hobbit." At the time, he had no idea what a hobbit was, much less why it would live in a hole in the ground- but he had to find out.
