Whoever reads Harry Potter or Lord of The Ring should also discover the other one too. Both are the same basic “hero’s journey” archetype with two great main character which I really love: Harry Potter and Frodo Baggins. There are certain similarities between them which interested me a lot. Like Frodo‚ Harry is an English orphan; and both of them discover their destinies as reluctant heroes after a birthday: Harry after his own while Frodo after Bilbo’s 111th birthday party. Since then‚ Harry entered

Tolkien has experienced a resurgence of interest in the last two decades-in a large part thanks to Peter Jackson’s film adaptations of both The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.

William Gaddis said‚ “Power doesn’t corrupt people‚ people corrupt power.” In the novel‚ The Lord of the Flies‚ by William Golding‚ we see power become corrupt by men‚ or in this case‚ young children. When a plane full of young British boys crashes on an island‚ the plane not only leaves a scar‚ but the plane leaves innocent‚ vulnerable young boys alone to survive on their own. The young boys had nobody to go to for comfort‚ to the boys it was a utopia‚ that is until their mind took over. David Cuschieri

Essay One who has power can lose the sense of right and wrong so that morals do not matter. Absolute power corrupts those who possess it. This can be seen throughout history‚ such as during World War II‚ and proven by the actions of Napoleon in the allegory Animal Farm by George Orwell. A good quote to show one of the many themes of this book is “It is not power that corrupts‚ but fear. The fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it‚ and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject
