Post 8 - The Fellowship of the Ring by JRR Tolkien

The Fellowship of the Ring was written by JRR Tolkien was originally published in July 24, 1954. This is the first book of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Many readers find a stark difference between this book and its prelude: The Hobbit, also by JRR Tolkien.

Some information that I found about Tolkien can be seen at:

I have already watched the whole Lord of the Rings Trilogy. In future Posts, I will be comparing The Fellowship of the Ring book to the movie. Also, I will be comparing The Fellowship of the Ring with The Hobbit. Through out all these future Posts, I will be trying to find new answers to the Focus Questions. The Fellowship of the Ring provides an excellent environment for one to conduct further exploration on Fantasy Worlds.

Therefore, I will read and study the ideas presented in The Fellowship of the Ring

Timmy: Even though your topic fantasy worlds consist of several different books, authors, and stories, I enjoy how you are sticking to the writings of Tolkien. Since you are sticking to the same author, you will now be able to compare both The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring to see how Tolkien weaves the characteristics of fantasy throughout.
