Good+vs.+Evil

= = Good vs. evil, how many times have you heard that term. Well truth be told good and evil is everywhere. For example good is in your parents, your friends, and through people that God has blessed you with. Jesus came to save us and to teach us how to become good. Evil is also around us. For example, the devil tries each and every day to temp you into doing bad things. If we have God with us, He will always help us resist the devil and to resist all evil. Good vs. evil is also very much in this book. The characteristics of evil characters in this book usually are self-centerd, likes dark places, and everything they do is for the purpose of evil and for themselves. For example, Smaug ,an evil dragon, who stole and killed many dwarves and people, is greedy and doesn't want to share his gold. He doesn't care about anyone but himself. Another example is Gollum, who uses the Ring for evil purposes. Gollum also is selfish, and doesn't care about anyone but himself. He likes dark places, and likes to kill things. An evil example are the Goblins. They like to hide in their caves, sneaking up on unsuspecting travelers, and taking everything they own. They also enjoy the misery of others, feeding off that misery to do evil. An example of good is the wizard Gandalf. He has many powers, and he chooses do use them for good. For example, he helps the dwarves to get their gold back, and he also helps Biblo become an unlikely hero. Bilbo is another example of good. He uses his thief and sneaking skills to help the dwarves on their quest for gold. He also uses his intellect to save the dwarves in many situations, like with the spiders, or with the elves in Mirkwood.
