The Significance of the Shire - Community in LotR

[charly]

Dominic Monagan(Merry) said something about the significance of the Shire I really do want to post here, because I very much agree with what he says....

I mean, the way of showing the Shire shows how important the hobbits´ quest was right away. They fullfilled the quest because they wanted to save this beautiful piece of land,like heaven on earth with it´s green hills,where everything grows and were there are no problems and perils. This place really is the heart of the hobbits.
