Thesis statement: J.R.R Tolkien and C.S Lewis reveal that what categorizes a hero is not his/her strength or other physical attributes, but emphasizes that matters of spirit and mind are the most important qualities a hero can have, and the choices these characters make define what a true hero is, not his/her abilities.
Paragraph 2: - What is the hero’s journey?
The “guidelines that an adventure story follows. Taking the soon to be hero out of their comfort zone and putting them in a situation that will prove them to be great. Lord of The Rings comfortable place is home; the shire. They get called to adventure with a heavy task on their shoulders that may be dangerous. Lord of the rings Gandalfs warning to Frodo about the ring long before there was any real danger to be known of was a bit of foreshadowing. Gandalf had to know for sure that there was something brewing before he told Frodo about it. Tossing the ring in the fire was only the beginning; the first call to adventure. It was something that would drastically change Frodo Baggins life.
