The Setting of the Lord Of The Rings

• The Lord of the Rings takes place in Middle
  Earth, a fictional place
• In this novel, the most common settings are the
  Shire, Mordor, and Gondor
• The Shire is where hobbits live, and it is an
  extremely pleasant and polite town, a very
  peaceful as well. There are many happy families
  that live in the shire, and anyone who tries to
  bring adventure of any sort are labeled the
  disturber of the peace. Gandalf (a wizard) was
  labeled this because he told Bilbo Baggins about
  adventures, and gave him a little nudge out of
  the door, as Gandalf says
• The shire is a very calm, charming place that the
  hobbits call their home with gladness

This is a picture of Bilbo Baggins house in
Hobbition, Shire with Gandalf the Grey
approaching it.

Frodo Baggins

• Frodo Baggins is the nephew and inheritor of most
  of Bilbo Baggins fortunes, once Bilbo goes away
  from the Shire to retire
• Frodo lived with Bilbo for quite a while, and
  they were very fond of each other
• Frodo is given the Ring of Power and he must
  travel to Mount Doom in Mordor and destroy it in
  the place where it was made. Frodo is
  accompanied by a few other people, not all normal
  humans
• Frodo is a very kind hobbit. Tolkien writes as
  an introduction to Frodos character, The eldest
  of these nephews of Bilbo, and Bilbos
  favorite, was young Frodo Baggins. When Bilbo
  was 99 he adopted Frodo as his heir, and brought
  him to live at Bag End Bilbo Baggins house.
  (p. 22).

Gandalf The Grey

• Gandalf is a very wise and powerful wizard who
  assists Frodo on his journey and helps destroy
  The Ring and its evil beings.
• Gandalf is a kind man, who is always willing to
  lend a helping hand. He is very generous, and
  even sacrifices things from his life for the
  Fellowship of the Ring.
• Tolkien writes after Gandalf came to visit Frodo
  after not seeing Frodo for a long time, Secretly
  Frodo thought that Gandalf looked older and
  more careworn soon they were deep in talk, and
  they stayed up far into the night. The fact
  that Gandalf looked careworn is because he has
  been working very hard to keep peace in Middle
  Earth as much as possible. The fact that they
  stayed up late into the night talking shows that
  he is insightful and interesting.
• Gandalf is an important character because he is
  one of the only ways for hobbits in Hobbiton to
  know what is going on in Middle Earth outside the
  Shires boarders.

• Friendship is a major theme of the Lord Of The
  Rings
• The Fellowship of the Ring is what the group that
  joins Frodo on his journey to destroy the ring
• The Fellowship have some beings who are nicer to
  some then other, but over all, they are one tight
  group. They pull each other out of many
  situations that threaten horrible things, maybe
  even death.
• This book makes it clear that staying together as
  a team is a very important aspect of life. This
  book reveals that friendship can pull you out of
  any situation that one can be stuck in.
