Compare And Contrast The Hobbit Vs Lord Of The Rings

Firstly, we have the most important ones, the main characters. In the Hobbit the main

Throughout the story line of The Hobbit, Tolkien links his fantasy world of middle earth with the reader's world. He uses his imagination to draw his reader into middle earth and allows them to glimpse his view of the evil that he witnessed living and serving in the time of WWI. Tolkien does this to show that not all technological advancements are for the common good.

            One thing I noticed was the use of several different themes included in both stories. In the Lord of the Rings the inhabitants of Middle Earth join to save themselves from enslavement. Centuries before, a ring was forged putting much power into control of who had it. Some men fell into that power, but an alliance of men and elves defeated it. The Ring was

The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien is said to be one of the greatest children's novels of all time. The novel, due to its use of such characters as goblins, elves, trolls, giants, and others is in tradition, a fairy tale. The tale centers on a small hobbit by the name of Bilbo Baggins. It follows the journey of a band of dwarves, a wizard named Gandalf, and their robber, Bilbo on their way to retrieving treasure that had long been taken away from them. The hobbit traveled all over Middle-Earth, beginning with Bilbo's tiny hobbit-hole in the ground, to Mirkwood forest, to finally reaching the Mountain in which the dragon Smaug lives. Tolkien uses a large amount of imagery in his writing which can been seen through settings in The Hobbit. The

“The Hobbit” and “How to Read Literature Like a Professor” are both very interesting books. These books have many similar and different concepts. Eating with others, eating others, quests, and geography are all concepts that are in both books.

The Hobbit book came first which means the movie was based on the book. So, the book had the original order of everything and the original plot of the story. The beginning of the book flowed really well, it didn’t jump into the book right away. It slowly got into the plot by telling about hobbits and Bilbo’s family. “The Bagginses had lived in the neighbourhood of The Hill for time out of mind, and people considered them very respectable, not only because most of them were rich, but also because they never had any adventures or did anything unexpected: you could tell what a Baggins would say on any question without the bother of asking him.” (P.G. 4). This tells more about how hobbits in general. In the movie, When it started it was bit confusing because it started off with Bilbo Baggins writing a letter and there was this character named Frodo, which wasn’t in the book, and I had no idea what was really happening. After that scene, the movie immediately starts, which made it even more confusing, without any details on anything. The movie was just out of place in some scenes, since the movie added a lot of different scenes and took away a lot of scenes it got confusing. It isn’t a bad thing to add or get rid of some scenes, but The Hobbit movie got rid of so many and added so many it was out of place. Therefore, the book is better because it flowed better and made more sense than the

‘’The Hobbit’’ is an action packed fantasy novel perfect for anybody looking for a classic adventure story. This book will keep you flipping pages until all 328 disappear. The Hobbit follows the story of a middle aged Bilbo Baggins. Bilbo is a hobbit, that means he is small, against adventure, fat, and lives in a hole. One day Bilibo gets called to action by the legendary wizard, Gandalf, and a group of dwarves to slay the evil dragon, Smaug. The group encounters goblins and wicked creatures all while developing personality and making friendships. The Hobbit, written by legendary author J.R.R, Tolkien is a story of taking risk, and thinking different then your peers, and is a must read.

The events associated with J.R.R Tolkien’s book The Hobbit resembles a hero’s quest journey, step by step until the final stage. Bilbo Baggins is the main character in this book and his life sonorously fits into in a typical hero quest journey. The three primary components of Bilbo’s quest are, the call to adventure, tests, allies and enemies, and the reward. In the book The Hobbit, Bilbo’s life is very plain and simple until he embarks on a marvelous journey with thirteen dwarfs and the wizard Gandalf, together they go on an obstacle filled journey to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the dragon. Throughout the story Bilbo and the Dwarfs are tested several times unit the get to the last stage. Therefore the Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien is one of the classic hero quest stories because of the many affairs that resemble the hero quest cycle.

The Hobbit is a book by J.R.R Tolkien that tells the story of a Hobbit who has been swept into a quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, and prince of the Lonely Mountain, Thorin Oakenshield.

Both The Hobbit and The Odyssey, follow what Joseph Campbell describes as the “Hero’s Journey.” Campbell’s formula for a hero consists of three parts: separation, initiation, and the return to society. The hero undertakes a difficult journey and suffers hardships in order to return a better person and help his community. Tales that follow the Hero’s Journey have been ever-present in history as seen in varying works of literature from ancient Celtic myths to the movie Star Wars. Stories told by people throughout history are used to try to describe the intricate dance between ideology and theology. There is also something that is

There are few worlds more richly imagined than that of Middle Earth. Both the depth of the setting, and the charming nature of the inhabitants, immediately sparks interest as one begins to peruse Tolkien’s work. Adding a flair of humor to an otherwise timeless adventure novel, The Hobbit is a classic that continually appeals to those with a love of fantasy work. From the beginning, to the end, we see remarkable character development that brings to mind the themes of heroism and humility.

The Hobbit (There and Back Again) is an absolutely wonderful classical book. In fact, it has been made into a three part movie series, two of which have already been released. The two movies that have been released will be what I am covering in this report.

The Hobbit is a book written by J.R.R. Tolkien that has entertained people for decades. The Hobbit is an adventure fiction story. The main theme is the development and transformation of Bilbo Baggins into a hero and an outgoing person. I chose this theme because at the beginning of the story, Bilbo is a person that only worries about himself and only focuses on the comforts in life; and is very introverted. Towards the ending of the story, Bilbo transforms into a hero due to the situations he encounters.

Another component of the novels that is comparable is the intended audience. "The Lord of the Rings" series was written for a much older audience than that of "Harry Potter". The age the audience has been written for is also reflected in the use of language in both books. Rowling has used relatively simple language. She hasn't used long-winded, almost poetic sentences as Tolkien has. Rowling keeps her audience interested by keeping her writing straight to the point, incorporating made-up words and phrases. For example Rowling creates all sorts of interesting names for her wizards, such as Dumbledore and Lupin. She also uses words for spells that come from Latin and various other sources put together to create many interesting words and phrases. Rowling's book is easy to read and is able to keep its readers interested because she keeps the plot moving and creates perfect imagery without needing to include too much detail.
