Stephen Hsieh’s Reviews > The Fellowship of the Ring > Status Update

Visualize: A part of the story that helps me visualize is one of the descriptions of a morning. "The day came pale from the east. As the light grew it filtered through the yellow leaves of the mallorn, and it seemed to the hobbits that the early morning sun of a cool summer day was shining." This is one part of the book that really helps me visualize the scene because it is very realistic and relatable.

Text to Text: This book is similar to The Giver, this is because in both books the main character travels long distances to save the world they know. The Fellowship of the Ring states "The One must be cast into Mount Doom, that is the only way" This is how I know that the book is very adventurous just like The Giver.

Antagonist: The antagonist in my story is Sauron. Sauron is a dark lord who is trying to find the ring of power to use it for evil purposes. In the book it says "The Enemy has learned that the One has been found again". The enemy refers to Sauron and the One refers to the ring. Being the Enemy, this passage proves that Sauron is the antagonist>

Static vs Dynamic: The dynamic character is Frodo Baggins. I know this because in the story Frodo undergoes a life changing journey that will shape him into a new person. On page 221 it says that "Frodo had evolved into a different hobbit along the journey that he embarked on" This is how I know that Frodo is a dynamic character.

Conflict: In the part of the book that I am in it is the main character who is Frodo Baggins going up against the nature. In the book it says "There were armies of flies of all kinds buzzing round their ears, and the afternoon sun was burning on their backs". This shows that the main character is fighting against nature in the part of the book that I am in.
