The Reading Report of
The lord of rings was
written by John Tolkien in 1955. He made up a
mystical world called Middle Earth. And
the start of the story, is not a
person, but an object, a ring. The ring
allows one to control a host of
other
rings handed down to the different peoples of
Middle Earth: three
rings belong to the
immortal elves; seven to the dwarfs; and nine
rings to
mortal humans. The ring that
rules all the others, forged using the fires of
Mount Doom by the evil Wizard Sauron,
gives its holder so much power
that it
corrupts all those who seek to wear it, even the
purest.
Of course,
there are some peoples that are more
pure than others. Humans generally
seem
incapable of wearing it without being corrupted by
its influence.
But there exists a
diminutive people, the Hobbits, who do seem at
least
capable of carrying it without
being polluted too much. So the fate had
come to a Hobbit---- Frodo, who had to
carry this Ring deep into the
shadows
of Mordor and unmake it in the place precisely it
was made. If
this Ring exists, the
world may fall in the Power of the Dark Lord. So
Frodo, with his gardener Sam, started
an amazing journey towards the
hope.
But the Hobbits is a kind of people who
loves peace and quiet. They
don’t
care
much about affairs in the world,
nor do they like to take part in
adventures. But Frodo and Sam have no
chance to choose their destiny.
The
future of the Middle Earth depends on this little
creature. In the story
of this trilogy
Frodo is the most impressive character not because
of his
heroic movement, but his true
personality. As a reflection of our human
being, he has been afraid, he has been
tempered by the power of the ring,
and
he has doubt about the possibility of the success.
Just because he’s so
similar to us, the
journey becomes more dangerous and difficult,
which
makes it easier for this
character to move us.
I can still remember the narration of
the beginning of the story. In a
small
Hobbits town called Shire, which is just like the
unforgettable
dream land, a Hobbit boy,
Frodo, shiny like the bright sun shine, reading
beneath the tree. His clear blue eyes
represent the purest soul in the world,
which lets me doubt about the truth
that there’s no angle in the real world.
He’s just an insignifica
nt
nobody, he never thinks about the ambitious
dream of fighting for the justice and
freedom. But he loved his uncle, his
friends and his hometown Shire. He
packed up and went on the journey
for
adventure just because he wanted to save Shire,
the place he never
wants to leave. The
first time the story moves me is when the two
hobbits
stepped out of the wheat field
of Shire. Sam stopped and said:” one step
further makes the furthest trip away
from home”. Until that time had I
realized what a great sacrifice they
made.
When the chance came
to him that he can leave the ring with the king
of the Elves, he made his decision.
When he saw the outstanding
