Lord Of The Rings Trilogy And The Hobbit
In The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and The Hobbit, J. R. R. Tolkien uses an interspecies friendship, a interclass friendship, and obligatory alliances to bring together the people of Middle Earth and to examine the effect war has on people. Through Legolas’s and Gimli’s unlikely friendship between elves and dwarves, Frodo’s and Sam’s loyal friendship between employer and employee, and the coming together of all the species for the Battle of Five Armies, Tolkien displays how war’s devastating consequences helps people empathize with others and brings them together.

    The Hobbit Themes

    The Hobbit, by J.R.R Tolkien is a fantasy book set in the medieval ages. Bilbo Baggins, a hobbit, embarks on an epic journey with Gandalf and his “party” to recover lost treasure in the lonely mountain guarded by a dragon named Smaug.

    1. The difference and similarities among leadership, leader, and leading are that leadership is a function, which can be fulfilled by a person but also shared by a group. In the movie, The Hobbit, Thorin showed examples of leadership. Thorin exerted his leadership by fighting the pale orc that beheaded his father in battle. As the dwarf army retreated after seeing the king die, Thorin stayed and fought cutting off the hand of the orc. This showed leadership by stepping up in the time of battle with no king. In the article it stated that Leaders have to deal with searching for new fitting identities. We do not expect leadership from only leaders. Followers can also show leadership. In the movie the dwarfs helped Thorin make certain decisions that would benefit the group. Bilbo, the hobbit, showed leadership in their adventure by stalling the trolls from eating the horses.

    All Quiet On The Western Front: An Analysis

    War is a very controversial topic for many people. Depending on the person’s outlook on the war, it can be depicted as something good or bad. War brings destruction wherever it goes, whether it is on a place or the people, and it ultimately is inevitable. War also protects a country from having further destruction and keeps the people at home safe from any danger. As a person can see in many recordings of war, there are many comparisons and contrasts that are expressed through soldiers, veterans, and civilians. Some comparisons seen in many of the testimonies given by effected people are dehumanization, dislocation, and alienation; but they also have contrasts that can be seen through nationalism, technological advancements, and the coming home for many…

    Hobbit J.R.R. Tolkien

    In the Hobbit J.R.R. Tolkien uses stereotypes as a way to portray the different races in his book. He starts the story off with the line “In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.”(page 1), Hobbits are presented by Tolkien as small creatures who are similar to humans but roughly half their size of a regular human. This quote states that hobbits all live in a fancy hole in the ground and thats stereotyping hobbits. The hobbits are also stereotyped to have two diners, love good food, have hair on their feet, not wear shoes, and not liking adventures at all (one of the bigger stereotypes).…

    Bravery means courageous behavior or character. In the novel, “The Hobbit” by J. R. R. Tolkien, Bilbo is by far the most important and bravest character. However, Bilbo is not portrayed as a brave hero in the beginning. Rather, he is a timid, comfortable, and complacent homebody like all the other hobbits.

Bilbo’s character suggests that bravery is not innate but can be learnt and developed. Further, he shows that true bravery should be resourceful, intelligent, selfless, just, loyal and humble.…
