4. REVIEW
The Lord of the Rings is a fairy-tale of myth and fantasy. Peter Jackson directed a film that
was considered, for a very long time, impossible to make, and not only for technical
reasons. The narrative roots are incredibly long and detailed, and the storyline is deeply
connected with the creation of a fantastic continent from a time unknown called `Middle
Earth'. Its author, Tolkien, dedicated a considerable part of his life developing this
continent's background, its mythology and origins, its different kinds of people, cultures
and languages, and therefore its geographic references are determinant to the unfolding of
the story of the One Ring.
An ancient Ring thought lost for centuries has been found, and through a strange twist in
fate has been given to a small Hobbit named Frodo. When Gandalf discovers the Ring is in
fact the One Ring of the Dark Lord Sauron, Frodo must make an epic quest to the Cracks
of Doom in order to destroy it! However he does not go alone. He is joined by Gandalf,
Legolasthe elf, Gimli the Dwarf, Aragorn, Boromir and his three Hobbit friends Merry,
Pippin and Samwise. Through mountains, snow, darkness, forests, rivers and plains, facing
evil and danger at every corner the Fellowship of the Ring must go. Their quest to destroy
the One Ring is the only hope for the end of the Dark Lords reign.
The greatest thing about this film, to me, is that it brought me back to a time when I was in
love with a different world where everything was possible. Reading The Lord of the Rings
night after night, I came to understand what this thing of `mankind' really was all about.
This film could capture that magic, and be a new bearer to its message of humanism, is a
statement to its greatness. Gandalf's words, that even the smallest person may change the
course of the world, and have a part to play in the destiny of all, are immortal.
In the end, this is a wonderful film, but that doesn't mean you are going to like it. I cannot
tell you what it is like to see this film if you don't know or love the book. But I hope it may
plant a seed on your heart to discover a great world of fantasy, beauty and humanity. I
believe Tolkien would have liked that.

Summary
News reports are found in newspapers and their purpose is to inform readers of
what is happening in the world around them. The social function of news report is to
inform the target readers, listeners, and viewers about events which are considered
important and relevant to them by summarizing the event by mentioning only the
important points in first paragraph and tells the events in details by providing the details of
the important points, as stated by the sources such as authority, source person, witness. In
order to have a good news report, we should use telegraphic information about story
captured in headline, direct and indirect sentences to report the events according to
witness(es) and the source person and use past tenses. Using prepositional phrases to state
the circumstances briefly will help the readers understand the news. Using clause will
make our sentence in news report will be more attractive.
