Amazing Characters

Watch any of the Hobbit or Lord of the Rings movies and connect the dots between the movie and chapter 3. 

Choose any of the following (you will have to find them online or in a library). 

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012) 

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug (2013) 

The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies (2014) 

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) 

The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers (2002) 

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) 

Explain: 

What is the main point of chapter 3? 

The name of the movie you chose in BOLD so your professor knows the context. 

In light of the main point of chapter 3, how did you experience the movie (see Chapter 3 — be specific and provide direct quotes from chapter 3 in BOLD). 

What did you feel as you saw the movie (sad, angry, overwhelmed, inspired, motivated, etc.—you choose the term that encapsulate how the movie made you feel) and clearly connect it to what you read in chapter 3. Quote and cite.  

Choose any character (place his or her name in BOLD) and describe what elements of chapter 3 may have shaped his or her moral character. 

Note: Do not write a paragraph. Use a bullet point format using 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 when you answer each question to make it easy for your peers to unpack.  

This summary should not be more than 300 words (one double-spaced page). There is no need for a title page, but you must quote and cite APA formatting (Author, year, p. #) or (Author, year, Chapter 3) if you have an electronic version that has no page numbers. 

Reference the textbook, which is 

A Hobbit, A Wardrobe, and a Great War (Intro – Chapter 3)

but there is no need to reference the movie. 

• Be sure to maintain proper spelling and grammar.
