The Lord of the Rings The Fellowship of the Ring 1. I chose to read this book because I have always been a fan of the LOTR series and I loved reading the Hobbit, so I felt it was time to read the trilogy 2. The story is set all across Middle Earth which is the fictional realm of LOTR. The story begins in the Shire where Frodo sets off on his adventure. They then travel to Bree, Rivendale, through many forests, valleys, rivers, plains, to Moria / the Bridge of Khazad-Dum to Lorien and finally down the Great River Anduin tohrough Argonath, the Pillars of the Kings to the three mountains Amon Lhaw, Amon Hen, and Tol Brandir. 3. The name of the author himself captured my interest, but I would have to say introducing Bilbo Baggins captured my interest the …show more content…

Knowing that this is a trilogy, I have many questions left unanswered that I know will be answered in the following books. However, I do want to know how their journey to Mount Doom ends and would also like to know more about Tom Bombadil because he is a very interesting character. Being able to put the ring on and not disappear and being able to see Frodo with the ring on is very intriguing. All we really learn is he is his own master and the ring has no power over him, so I would definitely like to learn more about him. 9. I enjoyed this book, but it had many parts that were fairly boring. Their journey takes them over many miles and vast distances where all they are doing is walking. So those parts were not very interesting. That aside, once they got to where they were going or encounter the Black Riders the book became extremely interesting and was hard to put down. I would say these parts greatly outweighed the monotony of them walking. 10. I think anyone who enjoyed the Hobbit or the LOTR movies would definitely enjoy reading this book. It is a classic piece of work revered highly by many and rightfully so. It is a masterfully crafted book filled with adventure, fighting, magic, mystery, lore, and so much

    In the end the movie was fun to watch, and the tale was fun to read. Both were kind of weird, especially the movie, but were interesting. The movie itself, while not being a direct reimagining of the classic tale, does very well as an action sequel. A sort of what are they doing now with their lives, after their experience. If I had a choice though, I would still read the tale over viewing the movie.

  • The Literary Value of The Lord of the Rings

    1051 Words  | 3 Pages

    The most famous work in the epic fantasy genre is The Lord of the Rings, written by J. R. R. Tolkien over the course of ten years and published in 1954. Over the last few decades, there has been a lot of controversy over whether or not a story in this genre could be considered a valuable literary work. It was suggested that fantasy was clichéd and too unrealistic to be in touch with the daily life. However, when one reads between the lines, one can find a different interpretation within the same story; an interpretation that might not be as clichéd and farfetched as one might think. While it is often claimed that literary works in the genre fantasy cannot have any literary value, the The Lord of the Rings-trilogy contains the beautiful, the true and the good (Flood) and therefore is original, is historical or ethical relevant and has human truth value, which are necessary qualities for a literary work to be valuable.
