The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings

Orcs are goblins. They are hideous, evil, cruel, stupid, bloodthirsty, and merciless. They are as tall as humans and they have their own language, orcish. Orcs were bred for war. The orc army was called the Uruk - hai.

No Orcs are NOT goblins and no, Orcs are NOT Uruk-Hai. Orcs originally come from Lord of the rings. Tolkien described Orcs as ugly, fanged humanoids. They are the servants of the dark lord Sauron. Their origin is up to debate as Tolkien has hinted at a couple things, 1. Orcs were originally made from stone and slime combined with the sorcery of Morgoth, 2. Orcs were actually elves, captured, tortured, bent, both mind and body corrupted.

Now goblins are mentioned in The Hobbit as Orc like people who live in the mountains.

Uruk-Hai are actually breeds of breeds of Orcs, I think they were a mix of Orc and Orc Men. These were taller, stronger, smarter and serve both sauruman and sauron.

Bilbo pinched the eagle to ensure that he wasn't dreaming and that the eagle was indeed a real creature. He did this because the eagle suddenly appeared out of nowhere and picked him up, which seemed too surreal to be true.

The first elf poem revealed the hobbits' longing for adventure and tales of old. It showed their fascination with the unknown and their desire to experience new things beyond their familiar Shire life.

Sam,

Sam and Eric are the twins of lord of the flies while Sam is short for Samwise.

I think that is the closest you can get.

The issue of human savagery in "Lord of the Flies" was significant when the book was published in 1954 because it reflected the concerns of the time regarding the nature of humanity and the impact of war on society. The story highlighted the potential for violence and cruelty within individuals, especially in the context of group dynamics and power struggles. The book's exploration of innate evil and civilization's fragility resonated with post-World War II audiences grappling with the horrors of the war.

In the poem, "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost, the traveler decided to take the less used to make his journey. He said that in the end it made all the difference. It would have been the way of the Hobbits to do as most travelers and take the safest and smoothest route. Bilbo also broke with tradition and decided to take "the one less traveled by". By deciding to go on the journey his entire life was changed, it made all the difference.

You know, I've heard this dabate since forever -- what effect has Beowulf had on LOTR. After careful consideration (which means actually reading Beowulf), I find nothing that really ties the two together. Heroic sagas and morality tales predate even Beowulf. Things that go bump in the night? Well -- legends like Grendel go back into the dawn of time. Even cave drawings occassionally depict terrifying creatures we can't identify with an actual species. And -- to me anyway -- Beowulf is part and parcel of these. Just as art post middle-ages developed perspective (but the images were always there), tale-telling has improved, as language and writing became over time more and more pervasive. Recall that when Beowulf was writen, the majority of the local populace was deeply illiterate. JRRT had a far more sophisitcated audience of communicators to appeal to, and did so in a manner that didn't so much leave Beowulf behind as it completely bypassed (as well as surpassed) it. Of course, my opinion only here. Summarizing, I feel Beowulf has, at this point, had little or no effect. I think that it was put into words was fortuitous and also incidental. This is the tale everyone told, and someone finally wrote it down. LOTR is of another order. In closing, I'd like to note that I always felt a lot more attached to Grendel than Beowulf -- I think he would have been a better conversationalist. WRT this last point, John Gardner's novel "Grendel" respins the first part of the Beowulf story from Grendel's point of view. If you felt aligned with the monster from reading Beowulf, this novel will put you even more in its camp.

Over 30 million copies of "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding have been published worldwide since its original publication in 1954.

Some challenging vocabulary words in the last 10 chapters of "The Hobbit" could include "lugubrious" (mournful), "palpitating" (beating rapidly), "miasma" (unhealthy vapors), and "disconsolate" (unhappy or dejected).

There was no family relationship. Sam was Frodo's gardener, and Frodo was Bilbo's cousin. Sam was the son of Gaffer Gamgee who probably helped with the gardening at Bag's End for Bilbo's family.

One reason why Bilbo is unhappy is because he doesn't like the look of the lonely mountain whereas the dwarves love mountains. The more likely reason is that Bilbo also has a cold. It is referanced in Bilbo's speech in "A Long Expected Party," LOTR FOTR, book one, chapter one.

He isn't mighty pleased about it to begin with, he liked it much better when he had someone to rely on, too, but in my opinion, he eventually realized that they needed a leader like him (and perhaps having the Ring at his disposal made him a very convenient leader, too).

There are four hobbits in the Fellowship of the Ring- Frodo Baggins, Samwise ("Sam") Gamgee, Meriadoc ("Merry") Brandybuck, and Peregrin ("Pippin") Took.

On one side, Bilbo inherits his adventurous side from the Took family, known for their love of exploring and taking risks. On the other side, he gets his more reserved and practical nature from the Baggins family, who prefer a peaceful and quiet life. These contrasting influences shape Bilbo into a character who is both brave and resourceful, yet also cautious and a bit of a homebody.

Each one of his folk was clad in a hauberk of steel mail that hung to his knees, and his legs were covered with hose of a fine and flexible metal mesh, the secret of whose making was possessed by Dain's people. The dwarves are exceedingly strong for their height, but most of these were strong even for dwarves

Why isn’t Bilbo found until the day after the battle

In RuneScape, if you wear a ring of forging while making iron bars, your success rate will be 100%. Without it (and if you don't use the "superheat item" spell either), your chance of success is between 50% and 80%, depending on your smithing level.

You go to the in-game options menu. You click save. It will show a screen with all of your saved games. You type a name for your save and click save. Alternatively you could save it as an existing game.

There are various Lord of the Games. Many of them are on the computer but there are games that involve physical models. There is Lord of the Ring Strategy Battle Game (SBG) and War of the Ring (WOTR) both of these have extensive rulebooks and minitures which are sold through Games Workshop.

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 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.

The action can take place in various settings such as cities, countries, fictional worlds, or specific locations like a house, school, or office. The setting of the action often plays a significant role in shaping the story and influencing the characters' decisions and interactions.

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.

"His [Smaug's] rage passes description--the sort of rage that is only seen when rich folk that have more than they can enjoy suddenly lose something that they have long had but have never before used or wanted."
