Fellowship of the Ring

My book: Lord of the Rings- The Fellowship of the Rings

The book I chose to read this month was the first Lord of the Rings book, the Fellowship of the Ring. It was written by J.R.R. Tolkien and it was published in 1954! The book takes place long ago in a land called Middle Earth, and there is a species called Hobbits, who are shorter humans with big feet. The main character, Frodo, has to travel across Middle Earth to destroy an evil ring that is desired by Sauron, the most evil spirit in all of the land. Frodo faces many threats as he and his friends embark on an epic journey. This is the first book of three.

I chose this book because it is a very popular story and I enjoy reading fantasy. The imagination that the author has helped my own ideas grow. I would recommend reading this book because it is a classic story that is a good read. However, it can be hard to follow the story and it takes a long time to read. But if you can overlook that, it is a good book that I enjoyed reading.

This book is connected to American culture because this is such a popular series that most Americans know what it is. People enjoy this imagination and it brings America together as one culture, since it enjoyed by so many people in so many places. The genre of fantasy is popular in America and that is why this book is loved. Americans can just go crazy over one series because it just captures the hearts of the people watching it. It can represent American culture because the travel that Frodo goes on can inspire people to travel on their own, and traveling is loved by Americans and is a big part of our culture.
