Chapter one- "A long expected party"
This series is the amazing sequel to the prequel "The Hobbit" that got people interested in these three books in the first place. The Hobbit which was about a hobbit named Bilbo Baggins lived inside of his Hobbit hole and did nothing but sit around, eat and drink tea. To summarize the book Gandalf the wizard and thirteen dwarfs invited themselves over to his home and made plans to go on a trip to retrieve their stolen treasure from Smaug the dragon.
In the "Lord Of The Rings" you pick up where "The Hobbit left you off which was after the huge epic battle and after the treasure was retrieved. By now Bilbo has grown up to be One-hundred and eleven years of age and he has had a son who is now thirty-three which marks the coming of age for a hobbit. At the very beggining of the first book which is called, "The fellowship of the ring" Bilbo Baggins is preparing for his one-hundred and eleventh birthday party.
He is sending out invitations to all of his guests which mostly consist of hobbits and he is getting all of the decorations ready. Gandalf makes a visit to Bilbo when he tells him about his plans to go on a permanent holiday. He tells Gandalf that the way he is going to do it is by putting on his golden ring during his birthday party.
On the night of Bilbo's birthday party there is a lot of food, drinks, entertainment, games, fireworks which Gandalf fires, music and a delicious feast for everyone invited. That is when Bilbo makes his long speech which he cuts off to put on his ring as a joke which only Gandalf understands. From there Bilbo tries his hardest to take the ring with him but finally leaves it with Frodo Baggins and his home as his inheritance.
What I like about the Lord of the Rings and even the triology was there was never a dull moment. Even in the first chapter of the first book of the Lord of the Rings it was pretty exciting but if it was boring at all to anybody that was just the beginning because eventually Frodo has to evacuate his inherited home. He eventually found out that the ring that he was given was not just powerful but extremely dangerous and had somehow landed in Bilbo's possession when he found it in Golum's cave back in "The Hobbit". And that is what made me really get into Jrr. Tolkien's books and movies because he is constantly adding intense to his writing to encourage his readers to find out more about what happens. The type of organization that was used in the "Lord of the rings" was cause/effect because there was always something caused throughout every single book and had either a mild effect or a very terrible effect.
