I am going to be challenged here to retell the story and just a few minutes, it is epic but just so we all have a basic understanding of it. 78 00:17:27.060 --> 00:17:41.130 Adrean Dills: let's give it a try. the Lord of the Rings starts in a beautiful little village, full of hobbits. hobbits are simple people who love nature and are happy to live in their little town nestled among their fields. 79 00:17:42.030 --> 00:17:52.980 Adrean Dills: This magical ring has been kept hidden here for many years, but now a powerful sorcerer named Sauron wants to take over the whole of middle Earth. 80 00:17:53.340 --> 00:18:05.880 Adrean Dills: And the ring must be moved from it safe place in hobbit town to the place where it was created and cast into the fire from which it was forged in order to be destroyed. 81 00:18:06.570 --> 00:18:23.640 Adrean Dills: Unfortunately, that place is where Sasuron lives, a scary place called mordor. how can the forces of good get this powerful ring back to mordor and cast it into the fire right under Sauron's nose? 82 00:18:24.300 --> 00:18:38.520 Adrean Dills: Well, another wizard named gandalf has an idea he'll have one of the hobbits take the ring everyone ignores hobbits and they are so good at heart that they might be able to resist using the ring themselves. 83 00:18:39.180 --> 00:18:54.540 Adrean Dills: gandalf sends the ring with a young hobbit named Frodo Baggins. like many young people Frodo wants to go on an adventure but almost as soon as they set out he realizes that this is serious business - it's life and death. 84 00:18:54.990 --> 00:19:12.060 Adrean Dills: And it's really scary. he made a promise, however, so he keeps going. to keep him company Frodo has his best friend Samwis Gamgee Sam is a wonderful friend and he promises to stand by Frodo until the end. 85 00:19:12.690 --> 00:19:28.170 Adrean Dills: to other hobbits named pippin and Merrie end up coming along with them by accident, they are mysterious and brave certainly not trustworthy with the ring or anything else for that matter, but they're good friends to have by your side anyway. 86 00:19:28.920 --> 00:19:41.820 Adrean Dills: But a little hobbits get some help from a mysterious warrior named aragorn and an Elf named Arwen. they make it to the safety of the Elf kingdom where they regroup and a Council is convened. 87 00:19:42.390 --> 00:19:48.570 Adrean Dills: That means that a group of leaders gathered together to make some decisions about what should be done with the ring. 88 00:19:49.110 --> 00:19:57.780 Adrean Dills: gandalf was there, along with the Elf king and representatives from the dwarves and the humans, they decide that a group should go together. 89 00:19:58.170 --> 00:20:04.500 Adrean Dills: After all, hobbits are not trained to fight and these guys don't really know where they're going after all. 90 00:20:05.460 --> 00:20:18.030 Adrean Dills: So the four hobbits team up with aragorn and Boromir, who's another human who's worried about his kingdom.

    SETTING TOLKIEN: EXPLORING MIDDLE-EARTH THROUGH MUSIC COMPOSITION By Jessica G. Spiars An Honors Project submitted to the University of Indianapolis Ron and Laura Strain Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a Baccalaureate degree “with distinction.” Written under the direction of Dr. John Berners. March 21, 2017. Approved by: __________________________________________________________________ Dr. John Berners, Faculty Advisor ______________________________________________________________ Dr. James Williams, Interim Executive Director, Ron and Laura Strain Honors College ______________________________________________________________________ First Reader ______________________________________________________________________ Second Reader i Abstract The poetic texts in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings have provided a wealth of resources to writers and composers since their publishing. Varying in style, character, and idea, these poems and songs offer an inside look of the Middle Earth that Tolkien carefully crafted. Intending to set several of these texts to original music, I studied the life and influences of Tolkien, with the goal of producing a well-developed and thought-out product. My studies covered cultures of both our world and Middle-Earth, including Anglo-Saxon, Finnish, and Welsh. After extensive reading of biographies, analyses, essays, and articles, I developed a cohesive perception of Tolkien's subcreation and chose my texts. With distinctly separate characteristics, my compositions each depict

  • By MICHAEL R HICKMAN
    the religious ritual S, practise of the elves of middle - earth at the time of the war of the ring by MICHAEL R HICKMAN ZS a n a 'o n a f t letter* written in 195«i Tolkien denied that there was any 'religion’ in Middle-earth. However he was referring to the existence of an organised religion with buildings, priestly cults, etc.: In fact there Is much evidence of religion in The Lord of the Rings. In The Road Goes Ever On Tolkien wrote about Elvish songs in praise of Elbereth, "The E lv e s s in g hymns to h e r,"1 and then commented, "(T h e s e and o th e r references to religion in Th^ Lord of the Rings are frequently o v e rlo o k e d !"1. In a small way I would like to remedy this 'overlooking'. As a teacher of Religious Studies and as an avid reader of Tolkien's books I have often thought about studying the religious practices and beliefs of the peoples of Middle-earth by applying to them the techniques employed In the study of religion. The study of religion has been transformed over the past few decades. One of the most Influential thinkers In bringing about this change has been Professor Ninian Smart of Lancaster University. He developed a method of studying the phenomenon of religion by categorising it in the six major ways in which all religion manifests itself. These ways he refers to as 'dimensions'. They have become well known and are called Smart's Six Dimensions of Religion.

  • English/Medieval Studies 318: Jrr Tolkien
    RICE UNIVERSITY SPRING, 2006 ENGLISH/MEDIEVAL STUDIES 318: J. R. R. TOLKIEN 10:50-12:05 TTH Dr. Jane Chance J.R.R. Tolkien is now recognized as one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century for his masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings (written during a period from the end of the thirties to the early fifties). As an Oxford Professor and eminent medievalist, he wrote out of what he knew about Old English, Old Norse, and Middle English literature. As a contemporary of T.S. Eliot, George Orwell, Graham Greene, Evelyn Waugh, and other modernists, he wrote out of what he had lived through. The course will trace the tension between the exile--the wraecca--and the community, otherness and heroism, identity and marginalization, revenge and forgiveness. To locate The Lord of the Rings within a broader historical and literary context, we will trace the development of Tolkien's art, beginning with The Silmarillion and The Hobbit and following up with The Lord of the Rings as a mythology for England. Along the way we will investigate his works on fantasy and mythmaking, such as “Mythopoiea,” “Leaf by Niggle,” and “On Fairy-Stories.” Clearly evident will be his interest in medievalness—especially the Old English Beowulf and the Finnish Kalevala. Cassettes and films of and about Tolkien and his writings will supplement readings and discussions. Requirements: Class attendance is expected; your grade will be based on class participation/quizzes; 2 papers (5-7 pages each); a midterm and a final examination. Texts (in order of reading): 1 Readings (both required and recommended texts) will also be placed on reserve (see below).
