This required me to be adaptable and multi-skilled with the ability to change priorities at a moment’s notice. I worked through challenging issues, coming up with an appropriate solution.

Frodo knows this because Gandalf the Grey told him that whenever someone puts on the ring, the Ringwraiths from Sauron are drawn to the rings power. Frodo shows great determination when he is put in charge of bringing the ring out of Shire and to Bree where Gandalf would take care of it from there. Frodo knows he is not exactly qualified for

those around him despite his initial reluctance to embark on a dangerous journey. According to the lore of Middle-Earth, the Hobbits are a race that loves to live a quiet and peaceful life. They live in the Shire, the homeland and safe heaven of Hobbitkind. Most of the Hobbits will not go out of Shire.

The book trilogy, The Lord of the Rings (containing The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers, and The Return of the King), is set in a world created by Tolkien, called Middle Earth. The books are about a small hobbit on a big quest. The main character, Frodo, inherits a magical ring that could cause the end of the world. With a fellowship of man, hobbit, elf, and dwarf alike, Frodo goes on a quest to Mt. Doom to

J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings (1954-55) is a difficult (often cumbersome) read and a problematic text to criticize. The novel1 has elicited contradictory responses, from ecstatic admirations for its broad, epical sweep to supercilious dismissals for its jejune simplifications. A sequel to the more enjoyable The Hobbit: There and Back Again (1937), The Lord of the Rings invites us to dive deeper to appreciate the multiple meanings hidden underneath. The most popular, among these multiple

The more recent of the two epilogues reads as a definitive wrap up of both the bulk of the quest narrative, and the final portion of the novel that takes place in the Shire. This epilogue takes place nearly 20 years after Sam’s trip to Mordor and consists of him talking to his eldest daughter about an upcoming visit from King Aragorn. A large portion of this narrative is set up as a series of questions and answers, through

Bilbo's 111 birthday. Bilbo leaves the Shire, gifting his magic ring to Frodo. During the years leading up to the realization of what the Ring really was, Frodo grew restless and found himself looking at Bilbo’s old maps and wondering what might lay beyond those maps. Nearly twenty years later, Gandalf reveals that Bilbo’s ring is actually the One Ring and that Sauron has found out the name of Baggins, which means that the Ring is no longer safe in the Shire.
