J. R. R. TolkienA modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more. For select classroom titles, we also provide Teaching Guides with discussion and quiz questions to prompt student engagement.
In The Fellowship of the Ring, Tolkien not only constructs a world of intricate landscapes and diverse species but also weaves a cultural tapestry that richly details the customs of hospitality unique to each group. How does the author illustrate the significance of hospitality in Middle-earth, and what does this tell us about the various cultures and characters within the novel? Consider these points as you reflect on the text to answer the question.
Teaching Suggestion: Students may have varying ideas of what constitutes hospitality in their own culture, so this may be an opportunity for them to share their knowledge and background with classmates. For a small group approach to this question, students might work together to create a chart showing characteristics and elements of good hospitality versus descriptions of poor hospitality; this also could be done as a whole class discussion before students address the prompt individually.
