Lord of the rings, Fellowship of the ring
By: J.J.R Tolkin, print date: Oct, 1965
The story starts with the 33rd birthday-party for Frodo Baggans, and the 111th birthday party for Bilbo Baggans, Hobbits who live in a mythical land called the Shire. Frodo’s best friend is his gardner Sam. Frodo owns a magic Ring which makes him invisible when he wears it, a gift from his cousin Bilbo who stole it from Gollum years ago.
One day the old wizard Gandalf comes to the Shire, and he tells Frodo of an evil named Sauron who wants to capture the Ring for himself. In ages long past Sauron stole the Ring from the Elves, to protect him from the Powers of Good; but the Ring was stolen from him by a creature named Gollum, and then stolen from Gollum by Bilbo, who finally gives it freely to Frodo. "Sauron has been searching for the Ring for years," Gandalf tells Frodo, "and now he has sent his nine Black Riders, to the Shire to look for it." Frodo and Sam consult with their loyal friends Merry and Pippin, and when the Black Riders appear, the hobbits trick them into going into a mushroom-patch, disorienting the Black Riders just long enough to escape the Shire.
But the tone of the book rapidly becomes more serious as the Black Riders pursue the hobbits through the forest. The hobbits come to the village of Bree, and arrive at the home of Tom Bombadil. Frodo meets a man named Aragorn, or ‘Strider’, who convinces him to go to the city of Rivendell. "In Rivendell you will be safe from their magic," Aragorn tells him, "for Elrond is a sensible man, and does not believe in it." With that Aragorn leads them rapidly to Rivendell, with the Riders in hot pursuit. As they ford the last river between them and Rivendell there is a spell cast on the river-water, causing it to rise up and wash away the Black riders, and our heroes make it to the safety of Rivendell.
At Rivendell, Elrond holds a Council where the fate of the Ring is discussed. The only way to keep Sauron from recovering the Ring, they decide, is to throw it into the volcano of Mount Doom where it will be destroyed. During the Council Gandalf arrives late, saying that he had been held prisoner in the tower of Orthanc, the Wizards' Tower.
Along their journey, they have memorable experiences and learn about the One Ring’s imperceptible powers. Furthermore, Frodo and his fellowship discover the powers of the One Ring growing along with the armies of Sauron with respect to time. Ultimately, Frodo and his eight companions must do what it takes to destroy the One Ring and
In a world of myth and magic where wizards, hobbits, and dragons dwell, and evil lord rules but long ago he lost his Ring of Rower. In the beginning of the book, The Fellowship of the Ring by J. R. R. Tolkien, starts when Bible, the second hobbit to posses the ring, gives the ring to his heir Frodo. The bulk of the story is about the origins of the journey of many years to destroy Frodo’s inheritance. The reason he desires so fervently to obliterate it is because it is evil, crafted for nefarious ruler, and created to control nineteen other magic rings. This paper will first discuss Middle-Earth, then some of the main characters, and finally the threefold parts of the endurance the Frodo displays. (Tolkien)
When Frodo’s journey is about to unfold, the ring that was given to Frodo by his uncle/cousin Bilbo turns out to be the One ring that holds the essence of the dark lord Sauron. Because of Gollum, the previous owner of the ring, Sauron becomes aware of the rings locations and sends out the Black Riders to collect his precious.are sent out to claim the ring (Tolkien). This conflict is foreshadowed on page 13 and 14 of the prologue. “ He returned to his home at Bag End on June the 22nd of the fifty-second year (S.R. 1342), and nothing very notable occurred in the Shire until Mr.Baggins began the preparations for the celebration of his hundred-and-eleventh birthday (S.R. 1401). At this point this history begins.” Tolkien is very subtle with most of his writing, besides imagery and personification, examples like foreshadowing and metaphors are very hard to pick up on. This event sets the story in motion, and gives the readers a glimpse of what challenges Frodo is to face in the future. Another very important conflict arises between Boromir, Captain of Gondor and Frodo Baggins. In chapter 10 of the second book when the Fellowship is at Amon Hen, Boromir follows Frodo into the woods,and insists that Frodo let him have the ring but Frodo says no. Boromir attacks Frodo for the ring due to the influence of the ring pulling him in, but Frodo slips on the ring becoming
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, by J.R.R. Tolkien, is the first book in the fantasy-based trilogy of the Lord of the Rings. The book begins with Bilbo Baggins celebrating his one hundred and eleventh birthday. After his party, he then decides to leave everything behind and join a Fellowship, which has a task of destroying the ruling ring, which will give supreme power to whoever has possession of it.
The goal of every coach is to create an environment in which his athletes can flourish. Performance anxiety is a coach’s worst enemy simply because it can have a negative impact both mentally and physically on athletes. The mastery approach to coaching is a cognitive-behavioral intervention designed to promote a mastery-involving motivational climate (Smith, Smoll, Cumming, 2007). How a coach handles his athletes is essential for their confidence and ability to overcome any level of performance anxiety. Critical or punitive feedback from coaches can evoke high levels of negative affect in children who fear failure and disapproval, thereby contributing to a threatening athletic environment (Smith, Smoll, Cumming, 2007).
J.R.R Tolkien creates this sense of belonging through his implementation of so many wonderfully divers and loveable races that live in Middle-Earth. Since each race differs from the rest, it allows all readers, no matter their background, to find a character they can identify with. From Elves to Dwarves, readers can find a place where they fit in and feel accepted; “ Good books and characters help you feel understood” (Vero). Every race in Middle-Earth has a place and by immersing the reader in his fantasy world by generating a sense of belonging amongst his characters, Tolkien effectively creates an escape (Tolkien). The author also uses the tone of wonder to evoke a sense of awe and admiration towards The Hobbit’s protagonist, Bilbo Baggins. This Halfling is the novel’s most relatable and loveable character and therefore helps engage the reader all the more and makes them feel at home in Middle-Earth. Bilbo is a Picaro, an unlikely hero who goes on this amazing adventure and accomplishes impossible feats. This iconic character evokes a sense of belonging from the reader as he is painted with a tone of wonder and readers can see a reflection of themselves in him. Baggins is a curious hobbit who does not see how truly valuable and brave he is; “We identify with Bilbo because he is an unlikely hero and he surprises us with his bravery on the quest. We see him grow as a person and transform into a hero as he tries to help his friends. He shows us that we can do the impossible and that to be a hero, you don’t have to look like the Hulk” (Vero). Bilbo hence lures readers into Middle-Earth by giving them the impression to be on the quest with him (Tolkien). This familiarity with the Picaro enhances the reader’s ability to relate with the character and
A student athlete faces adversity on a daily basis. With facing adversity a lot of times comes stress, and with stress anxiety can start to become a huge factor on how the student athlete performs. When speaking of performing, that’s on and off the field tasks. Student athletes are known to have many responsibilities. A problem many student athletes face is managing all their responsibilities while not feeling overwhelmed. Once the pressure of trying to manage all the responsibilities a student athlete might have begins to weigh down on him or her, that’s when one with anxiety can start to lose the “it” factor that allows them to perform.
middle of paper ... ... But by the end, according to Frodo, “I tried to save the Shire, and it has been saved”, though it most certainly bears some scars of its own. The Shire not only represents the hobbits’ home, but the reader’s too, this creates a love between the reader and the Shire, therefore the driving force behind the hobbits’ actions, becomes the reader’s too. The different types of love present in The Lord of the Rings, and the Hobbit as well, are constantly being shown as the impetus behind all things that eventually lead to the demise of Sauron. These examples start off simple, a love for a friend, one’s homeland, a leader, but they result in saving Middle Earth and it’s people from the theft of their free will and the dominion of Sauron.
Then, Gandalf, a wizard, along with 12 dwarves take him on an adventure to reclaim the dwarves’ treasure from the dragons. While facing many obstacles, Bilbo finds a ring that makes him invisible,
Lord Sauron was a powerful ruler of the dark army and created the ring with the help of the foolish elves to create the One Ring that would rule over the Rings created by the elves. Sauron did this to have complete control of the world because the One Ring gave the wearer unimaginable power and because Sauron was evil and was hiding his true motives for creating the ring, the world wouldn't be able to stop him. After creating the Ring, Sauron chanted an elvish incantation to give the ring its power. Gandalf the Gray, re-tells the story of this to Frodo before reaching the elvish castle, "For in the day that Sauron flirt put on the One, Celebrimor, maker of the Three, was aware of him, and from afar he heard him speak these words,many so his evil purposes were revealed." (Tolkien, 1954, p 284) Sauron hid his corrupt and misguided plan to run the shire and later the world, by simply telling everyone his rings would help bring good to the world. Ultimately, supporting the theme of corruption by showing Sauron's dark, misguided, and corrupt desires to rule the

The book begins with Bilbo Baggins celebrating his one hundred and eleventh birthday. Many "Hobbits" show up at his party including his third cousin, Frodo, which is the main character of the novel and a powerful wizard named Gandalf. Biblo possed a powerful ring known as the "Ruling Ring" which gives "Supreme Power" to whoever has possession of it. At the end of the party, Bilbo uses his magical ring to turn invisible and stun his guests. Gandalf, the powerful wizard, then meets up with Biblo at his house and takes the ring from Bilbo, which is corrupting him. Gandalf examines it, realizing that the ring Bilbo has is the powerful "Ruling Ring". Knowing that the forces of evil are in search of the ring, Gandalf sends Frodo, a relative of Biblo, to destroy the ring in the only place it can be destroyed, "Mt. Doom". Overhearing the talk between Gandalf and Frodo, Sam, a "Hobbit", that is good friends with Frodo is forced on the quest to aid Frodo.
In Edward’s and Hardy’s opinion the main problem that research on the relationship between anxiety and performance has encountered is that researchers have not defined all the specific terminology that is required to understand with this subject. The following operational definitions will be used for the terms anxiety and stress. “Stress is a state that results from the demands that are placed on the individual which require that person to engage in some coping behavior.” Arousal is going to be considered to be a signal to the athlete that he/ she has entered into a stressful situation and is characterized buy physiological signs. Anxiety results from the athlete’s perception that he/ she is not good enough for the particular situation, which will cause stress (Edward and Hardy).
Meanwhile Sam chases the tarantula back to the lair of Ungoliant, the Queen of Spiders, and after a tense argument about the nature of good and evil she finally reveals to Sam the cure for the spider's-venom which holds Frodo in thrall. Sam thanks Ungoliant for her mercy and wisdom and revives Frodo, and they set off into Mordor to find Gollum. "Oft help will come from the weak when the Wise are foolish," Gandalf once said, and sure enough all the spiders of Mordor are willing to help Frodo and Sam in their quest. Their course leads them to Mount Doom, where just as they arrive they find Gollum claiming the Ring for himself. The Dark Lord Sauron then becomes aware of them, and leaves the Dark Tower to come forth and destroy them; but just them Frodo and Sam rush Gollum and force him backwards into the Cracks of Doom. The Ring is destroyed, and without it Sauron is destroyed by the sunlight. Frodo and Sam leave the Mountain just in time to see the great armies of Aragorn and Faramir coming across the plains of Mordor to greet them.
The definition of a genetically modified organism requires the breakdown of the phrase to accurately depict its meaning. Genetic means anything relating to or involving genes; genes are found in the DNA of cells and controls a living system appearance, traits, and other qualities. Modified means to change a part, not all. An organism is an individual living thing, a system with many parts that depend on each other and work together. A genetically modified organism is, therefore, the alteration of the genes of a naturally occurring organism. These changes occur in labs and take years of research. Before a plant is modified you have to decide what you want to have changed, do you want to enhance, add, decrease or eliminate a feature? Knowing the order of gene
