J.R.R. Tolkien

Early in the 1930's. While he was grading term papers, he came upon a bank page. Absently, he wrote the famous words, "In a hole in the ground, there lived a hobbit."

The rest, as they say, is history.

If you happen to look at the release dates for each game, you'll see that Runescape was released 3 years before World of Warcraft. In addition, they are the same genre - similarities are almost certain to occur. Yes i actuly agree with that I just started playing WoW i only have a lvl 11 and 13 yes i know im a noob but I said WoW sucks befor i actuly tryed it so you cant dis it until try it. Um actually both of you are dumb the pvp and raiding in wow beats any game I know from experience i have 4 lvl 80s :D! And I have no life and have never had a girlfriend :D! Runescape>WoW The only reason I say this is because people compare it watch youtube videos that compare them and you will chose wow

No, Tolkien did not invent orcs. They are popular creatures in European folklore, appearing in various mythologies long before Tolkien wrote about them in his novels. Tolkien drew inspiration from these existing myths when creating his own interpretation of orcs for his legendarium.

J.R.R. Tolkien was married to Edith Bratt. They met as teenagers and remained together until Edith's death in 1971. Tolkien credits Edith as being the inspiration for the character Lúthien in his Middle-earth writings.

Yes, J.R.R. Tolkien fought in World War I as a second lieutenant in the British Army. He served on the Western Front and experienced the harsh realities of the war, which influenced his writing, particularly in creating the dark and war-torn landscapes of Middle-earth in "The Lord of the Rings."

In "The Hobbit," Tolkien vividly describes the lush environment of Mirkwood Forest where Bilbo and his friends journey through. He uses rich imagery to depict the dense trees, eerie silence, and twisting pathways, creating a sense of mystery and foreboding in the dark and enchanting forest. Tolkien's detailed descriptions of the forest evoke a vivid picture in the reader's mind, enhancing the atmosphere and setting of the story.

In the 1930s.

No it was later than that. It wasn't started until after The Hobbit was published (which was in 1937) and wasn't completed until the mid 1950s - the final volume was published in 1955.

Tolkien was born in Bloemfontein, South Africa, but spent most of his childhood (and adult life) in England.

Most of the roots or origins of Tolkien's stories can be found in the early Norse Mythology. Some of the dwarves names can be found there. The Scandanavian odes and stories were a definite influence. Many of the other items came from his life experiences, including being bitten by a spider when he was young, seeing trees cut down and left to rot, and his service in the British Army in World War 1.

I think the introduction to the fellowship of the ring is a good answer to this:

"history became legend, legend became myth"...

I'd still call Tolkein history. When nobody is around who remembers him, and high school students debate whether he was one author like they do shakespear, he will have become legend.

Young John Ronald Reuel Tolkien (J.R.R Tolkien) attended King Edward's school in Birmingham in the years of 1910 and 1911. Where he excelled in the early and modern English Language. In 1911 he attended Exeter college of Oxford.

Aside from writing, he was a professor of English language. He worked on the Oxford English Dictionary and then in 1925 went to Pembroke College, Oxford as Rawlinson and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon. He was there until 1945 where he moved to Merton College, Oxford to be Merton Professor of English Language and Literature. He retired in 1959.

Tolkien creatures are often referred to as "Middle-earth creatures" or "fantasy creatures" as they inhabit the world created by J.R.R. Tolkien in his works, such as "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit." Some notable Tolkien creatures include hobbits, elves, dwarves, orcs, ents, and dragons.

Bilbo Baggins and Gollum first appeared in the hobbit.

J. R. R. Tolkien is most famous for his "Lord of the Rings" series of books, which critics say is the "best fantasy epic of our time." The Lord of the Rings became so famous it was made into a movie series and won 17 Oscars all-together.

J. R. R. Tolkien was born on January 3, 1892.

Tolkien once wrote that he hated allegory, so it's doubtful that Smaug represents any particular person, thing, or concept. I think Smaug is more or less exactly what he appears to be: a big, nasty, greedy, evil dragon.

Evil dragons hording treasure are something of a staple in Germanic mythology, which in its Anglo Saxon form Tolkien spent much of his life studying (he was a professor of medieval literature after all). In the legend of Sigurd / Siegfried Fafnir the dragon is guarding a treasure horde and in the Anglo Saxon epic Beowulf there's another dragon guarding a horde who becomes enraged when someone steals from his treasure and emerges in a rage exactly the same way Smaug does when Bilbo steals from Smaug. So, I wouldn't say Smaug represents anything. I would say rather that Tolkien was trying to create a modern myth and he did so in part by incorporating elements from medieval myths, in particular the Germanic myths that were native to England before the Norman Conquest. If you read Germanic myths you'll find a lot of parallels with Middle Earth as that is what Tolkien spent his days thinking about before he became a novelist.

Christopher Paolini is 27 years old (birthdate: November 17, 1983).

An American author who was born in 1835 is Mark Twain, whose real name was Samuel Clemens. He was born in Florida, Missouri on November 30, 1835 and died in Redding, Connecticut on April 21, 1910.

The Lord of the Rings was basically written 1936 to 1949, and published 1954-1955. The content of Book V and VI was written sometime after 1944, and published in the LotR's third volume The Return of the King in October 1955.
