Does anyone know any more language techniques and good quotes to display the language techniques for the book, Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring?
So far I have that Tolkien uses descriptive language, other languages e.g. elven, and songs/poetry is used throughout. And also, uses themes of friendship, betrayal/trust etc. By the way, I'm doing imaginative journey.

When I went to this Study Day they said to use camera and lighting techniques. So in my essay I wrote about

the scene where gandalf explains about the ring - it's dark lighting - close up on Frodos face, portraying his fear and close up of the ring which, I quoted Boromior saying is a "pretty thing", looks less dangerous then it appears

i used that scene at the end where Frodo is about to Row off: I used two quotes:
"Of course you are [Sam when Frodo tells him he is going to Mordor alone] and I'm coming with you!"
and
"I made a promise, Mr. Frodo, a promise. 'Don't you leave him, Samwise Gamgee. And I don't mean to. I don't mean to." - Repitiveness emphasises sincerity

With this scene I talked about journeys creating friendships.

I also talked about when Sam almost drowns, and Frodo grabs his hand and the sunlight in the background signifying the birth of a strong, loyal friendship.
