Fellowship Of The Ring Diversity Analysis
Adversity, means having resiliency during difficult times and misfortunes. Throughout the film The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring directed by Peter Jackson, Jackson displays how Adversity Influences and shapes a character's identity through the protagonist Aragorn “strider”. Aragorn, the heir of Isildur, joined the journey to destroy the ring and defeat Sauron. During their quest Aragorn's identity was shaped by adversity in three ways; after the passing of Gandalf he took charge as the leader, when Aragorn had the chance to take the ring from Frodo but overcame the temptation, and finally when Frodo and Sam separated from the group and Aragorn began the search for merry and pippin before anything terrible happened to them.
During the Journey through the Mines of Moria they were faced with many conflicts. When Aragorn and the others witnessed Gandalf fight the Balrog on the Bridge of Khazad-dum, Gandalf ended up being pulled off the bridge by the Balrog's whip.

It is about a young white boy named Phillip and a black man named Timothy and they are in the middle of World War 2 with America, Australia, Curacao and Great Brittan against Germany. They want to leave Curacao so they get onto a ship that is taking them to Miami but it is bombed on the way.

Eventually, Bard found Smaug’s week spot and killed him. Smaug’s defeat resulted with the destruction of Lake-town.

    I will be talking about Gandalf’s role in the story and how he is like a father figure to Bilbo. The Hobbit was wrote by J. R. R. Tolkien. We first see Gandalf at the beginning of the story when he meets Bilbo at his hobbit hole. The first impression the story gives us about Gandalf is he is wise and every time he visits he tells adventourus stories. Gandalf is a old wise wizard, who isn’t interested in the gold the dwarves were looking for but to push Bilbo into a new life style.…

    Human and Adversity

    • 786 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Adversity is what creates drive in every human being. It is the monster and fear in all of our nightmares, the bad, testing our willingness to be good, pushing us to fight back, to learn its ways, and to appreciate. However dire or subordinate, it is what allows us to perform extraordinary measures, better ourselves morally, and acquire many other character-defining qualities and lessons we need throughout life. The Roman poet, Horace, expresses adversity perfectly as having “the effect of eliciting talent which in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant.” In this way, it is the adversity or challenge that is key to gaining these talents or qualities, and the prosperous circumstance or lack of any suffering or challenging that acts as a deterrent. All good is taken away from facing adversity in one form or another, for you can only know true prosperity once you have overcome true adversity.…

    I think as I discuss diversity in the workplace by managers and professionals in a business setting I should start with what those differences are that make us diverse. Harvey and Allard (2012) write, “those differences certainly include temperament and personality, but also culture, gender, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, ability, age, and size differences” (p. 3). It is very important for managers and supervisors in a business setting to understand how these differences in cultural affect communication among team members. Working as a nurse, I have witnessed physicians from other cultures…
