Chapter I
Its a new era of writing

Its a new era of writing... Tolkien maybe started it but now its her reincarnation....Many authors are trying to create something similar like Tolkien world but he invented all that is necessary in that point of view...you can create you can explore, but at the end you are in his world...
This is a part of Tolkien world in Lord of The Rings:
Orcs and hobbits are probably the two literary creatures for which J.R.R. Tolkien is best known.
Everybody loves hobbits, and everyone hates Orcs. They were actually more vile and nasty in his
earlier literature than they turned out to be in THE HOBBIT and THE LORD OF THE RINGS.
One never hears of an Orc committing rape, but in "Lay of Leithian" that was one of their
favorite tactics. Orcs were also fond of tying their prisoners to trees and torturing them to death.
Tolkien's Orcs are a mixture of pitiful savagery and abandoned corruption. They represent the
worst aspects of mankind's darker nature.
What did Orcs look like?
Here is what I know about how Orcs looked:
Orcs and goblins are supposedly one and the same thing in Tolkien, but he describes them quite
differently in THE HOBBIT (where they are goblins, mostly, with only one or two Orc
references) and in THE LORD OF THE RINGS (where they are Orcs, mostly, with only one or
two goblin references).
Here is what Tolkien says of "goblins" in THE HOBBIT:
...The goblins were very rough, and pinched unmercifully, and chuckled and laughed in their
horrible stony voices....
...The goblins began to sing, or croak, keeping time with the flap of their flat feet on the stone,
and shaking their prisoners as well.... now the goblins took out whips and whipped them with a
swish, smack!, and set them running as fast as they could in front of them....
There in the shadows on a large flat stone sat a tremendous goblin with a huge head, and armed
goblins were standing round him carrying the axes and the bent swords that they use. Now
goblins are cruel, wicked, and bad-hearted.
These wicked and bad-hearted goblins were the sort to eat ponies, to light fires and dance around
them, and to complain about the savagery of the weapons used against them. Cruel as they were,
they were drawn as caricatures for the sake of providing a terrifying amusement in the story.
And except for the flat feet and the Great Goblin's huge head Tolkien never really provided a
description of what the goblins looked like in THE HOBBIT. Some carried swords, and others
carried spears. They wore helmets and used shields, too. Goblins were fond of fire and relied on
torches in their caverns, so they don't seem to have been very good at seeing in the dark.

Michael
Michael (Hebrew: מִיכָאֵל, Micha'el or Mîkhā'ēl; Greek: Μιχαήλ, Mikhaíl; Latin: Michael or Míchaël; Arabic: ميخائيل, Mikhā'īl) is an archangel, one of the principal angels in Christian and Islamic tradition. He is viewed as the good Angel of Death (as opposed to Samael, the evil Angel of Death), and as the field commander of the Army of God.
He is mentioned by name in the Book of Daniel[dubious – discuss] and the Book of Revelation 12:7. In the book of Daniel, Michael appears as "one of the chief princes" (Daniel 10:13) who in Daniel's vision comes to the angel Gabriel's aid in his contest with the angel of Persia Dobiel, and is also described there as the advocate of Israel and "great prince who stands up for the children of your (Daniel's) people" (Daniel 10:21, 12:1).
The Talmudic tradition rendered his name as meaning "who is like El (God)?". In recent years, a popular mistake has become to translate the name as "One who is like God." It is, however, meant as a question: "Who is like the Lord?" The name was said to have been the war-cry of the angels in the battle fought in heaven against Satan and his followers.
Much of the late Midrashic detail about Michael was transmitted to Christianity through the Book of Enoch, whence it was taken up and further elaborated. In late medieval Christianity, Michael, together with St George, became the patron saint of chivalry, and of the first chivalric order of France, the Order of Saint Michael of 1469. In the British honours system, a chivalric order founded in 1818 is also named for these two saints, the Order of St Michael and St George. St Michael is also considered in many Christian circles as the patron saint of the warrior. Police officers and soldiers, particularly paratroopers, regard him as their patron saint. He is also a patron of Germany and one of the patron saints of the city of Brussels, Belgium.
Roman Catholics refer to him as "Saint Michael the Archangel" and also simply as "Saint Michael". Orthodox Christians refer to him as the "Taxiarch Archangel Michael" or simply "Archangel Michael". The New Age Movement often refers to Michael as "Creator God Michael of Nebadon", Hatton, Aton, or simply Christ Michael.
