A Rhetorical Précis: “Poetry in The Hobbit”

Stella Quinn, in her article “poetry in The Hobbit” (2009) suggests that the poetry in The Hobbit is used to catch the reader’s attention. Quinn develops this suggestion by writing in the article that “The Hobbit is a novel and not an anthology of poetry yet it contains dozens of poems within the text. Quinn’s purpose in “Poetry in the hobbit” is to reveal why poetry is being established in The Hobbit. Quinn uses an academic tone in her article to show why poetry is being established in The Hobbit and what it is used for.

Final Draft

A Rhetorical Précis: “Poetry in The Hobbit”

Stella Quinn, in her article “Poetry in The Hobbit ” (2009), suggests that “J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit is a novel and not an anthology of poetry yet it contains dozens of poems within the text.” Quinn develops this suggestion by drawing the readers’ attention to several of Tolkien’s poems. Quinn’s purpose is to establish how Tolkien uses poetry to catch the reader’s attention in order to make the book interesting and to help the reader understand the differences in the Middle Earth characters. Quinn uses an academic tone in her article to appeal to Tolkien readers and scholars of all ages.
