The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is a fantastical story of good versus evil, friendship, and perseverance. I felt that this movie in comparison to the rest of the trilogy, most accurately represented the qualities in relation to the terms used in our textbook. The Fellowship is formed after the recent discovery of the Ring, which is capable of granting an immense wealth of power to any who wields it.
