NOt just in the books


Books carry a lot of similarity between them. When you compare them you find parallels not just to the real world but to other books and the past. A book is what the author needs to say in a way that is creative and different.

One way you see this parallel is in“lord of the rings” by J.R.R. Tolkien. His writings show very big parallels, not even just in the Good Vs. Evil but in industrializing from an agrarian society, it is shown in the way the hobbits’ are more of calm farming folk while their opposite the goblin builds weapons of destruction and use the industrializing for war. Mr. J.R.R Tolkien was an English professor, but serviced in World War 1 at the battle of Somme, this may have given him the idea of war being so bad with industrializing because World War 1 was a war of technology. http://www.lord-of-the-rings.org/author.html

J.R.R Tolkien may have been one of the greatest fantasy fiction writers of all time. His books of good versus evil and defeating with friendship and loyalty will be a good read for a long time. He is not the only good writer though, another excellent writer who uses ideas that to read the book only once would be missed. That would be J.K Rowling and Harry Potter.

J.K Rowling is known for her book about a young wizard who is chosen to save the all of the wizard world from one very evil man. She first penned the beginning of harry potter on the back of a napkin, and that little idea on a back of a napkin became a global phenomenon.

These books like the lord of the rings show similarities to other idea and themes. Like lord of the rings it a good versus evil idea with one person trying to change the course of the future. In lord of the rings its Frodo and destroying the ring, while for Harry it is stopping and in the end killing Lord Voldemort. They both triumphant threw loyalty, courage, and friendship.

Harry potter also carries the real world idea of propaganda. Voldemort uses it to keep people afraid of him. This is similar to Minster of magic who use the newspaper to keep people in check.

 Harry potter uses propaganda but not as much as , the hunger  games. This story uses it so much not just by the capitol, but district thirteen.  They both use Katness and Peeta As signs of either peace or rebellion.  Their propaganda either is for or against rebellion.
