Recommended: Symbolism in lord of the rings

In The Hobbit by J.R.R Tolkien, there are various songs composed by various creatures that each put off a different vibe. These different songs each have meanings that helped convey a mental message to the reader. As each song comes up in the story, it helps in a sense of transitioning into a new land. First off, the first song seen in the book is sang by the dwarves. The song was more serious in tone and had a simple structure with one point stating the objective of their journey. In the book the song has no interesting punctuation and the dwarves kept repeating the fact that they wanted their gold. This gives evidence that the dwarves are very serious and only care about what is theirs. Aside from that, the song also does a great job of

    This first song goes well with Holden because we see throughout the whole book, how Holden experiences loneliness.

  • Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier

    2616 Words  | 6 Pages

    In Charles Frazier’s Cold Mountain, the theme of music is one of the novel’s most powerful themes. From symbolizing character growth to the healing of physical wounds, music plays an integral part in this novel. While many critics will point out that music has little effect on the human psyche, Charles Frazier shows his belief that music does indeed have a profound effect on the human mind throughout Cold Mountain. Throughout the novel, Inman, Ada, Ruby, Stobrod, and many other characters experience music that allows them to keep faith against the odds or even heal their wounds! There are three major types of music used in this novel; hymn music, folk music, and “natural music”. It is through these types of music that the characters in this novel regain their strength to continue their journeys. Many critics of Cold Mountain claim that Frazier ignored certain historical facts in order to make his point. However, when writing about the music of the South during the Civil War, Frazier stays very accurate in the use and power of music. In the world of Cold Mountain as well as the historical South, music is an extremely powerful force.

    I went to the Apopka High School fall band concert on Thursday, November 19th, 2015 for my cultural event. Different artists featured throughout this concert include Francis Scott Key with the Star Spangled Banner, Peter Blair with the Woodchopper’s Ball, and Carmen Dragon with America the Beautiful. This concert was centered on giving thanks to the veterans that serve or have served our country, and I thought it would be a unique experience to attend. I was moved by all the veterans that stood up in the audience to be recognized. One of the artists I would like to take a closer look at is Francis Scott Key with the Star Spangled Banner. I believe that this song can be related back to western civilization through the Classic era with the Roman

    The Hobbit, written by John R. R. Tolkien, is a fantasy novel published on September 21, 1937. It was written as a prelude to the famous series, The Lord of the Rings, written seventeen years later. The Hobbit introduces the reader to an incredibly immersive fantasy world, that enriches the reader into its epic storyline. The story takes place in a land called Middle-earth, a land filled with enchanting surprises and magical wonders. It was the perfect playground for Tolkien to develop his main character Bilbo Baggins. Bilbo Baggins was a small hobbit, who unaware in the beginning would become a large role in the plot. It is through this character that Tolkien implemented the theme of heroism into the story. Bilbo’s unexpected adventure with the dwarves and the wizard gave him the opportunity to develop into the ultimate hero of Tolkien’s tale. Bilbo’s epic journey to become the hero of the story begins when Gandalf, the wizard, tells Bilbo of an expedition that would soon change his life forever.

    Repetition is used many times in this song, especially when it states the phrase ‘ You better listen to your tribal voice’, ‘So you better get up and fight for your rights’ and ‘say c’mon, c’mon stand up for your rights’. These phrases mean a lot the writer Yothu Yindi, so by repeating them many times it means that he is trying to get you feel the same angry and fearless emotion he is, so you can take a stand and speak for what you think is wrong. Personification is also used many times to show that not just the writer wants you to feel this way but other matters are as well. Personification used in this song includes ‘the whisper of the morning light saying get up and meet the day’ and ‘walking of a rainbow dawn’ which gives human characteristics to other states of matter. Sometimes not all phrases are stated clearly that is why symbolism is used to add a different effect to people’s writing to make it more interesting and intriguing.

    Central to the pastoral vision of As You Like It is the setting in the Forest of Ardenne, especially the contrast between it and the ducal court. In the former, there is a powerful political presence which creates dangers. Deception lurks behind many actions, brothers have secret agendas against their brothers, and people have to answer to the arbitrary demands of power.

  • The Circle of Life

    687 Words  | 2 Pages

    Roger Allersand and Rob Minkoff directed the animated Disney movie, The Lion King. The particular song I will be discussing, “Circle of Life,” composed by Elton John and scored by Hans Zimmer, plays at the very beginning of the movie and serves as the introduction of Simba to the animal kingdom as well as to the viewing audience. The scene starts out with a sunrise and then cuts to numerous different camera shots of animals from all over the animal kingdom including rhinos, meerkats, cheetahs and others. They appear as if they are all heading towards the same location, which is then shown as a plateau that is being over looked by a mountain ledge. The focus then moves to baby Simba who is being prepared for an introduction to the rest of the kingdom. Simba is then thrust towards the heavens, which leads to the other animals celebrating wildly, and then the scene ends. Throughout this paper, I will show that the texture of the music, through the use of different musical techniques, is essential in creating the particular setting and mood of this scene.
