Songs and rhymes are used in Tolkien's books to forward the plot. Songs that Tolkien writes in his books also suggest the telling of the history of Middle-Earth. Because Tolkien uses songs in Lord of the Rings for telling the history of middle earth, it also helps develop the plot, which might be the reason the book is awfully long. Using poems and rhymes in the story is an excellent way for Tolkien to describe more of the fantasy world, and the poems and songs are the main things that help prevent the book from becoming exceedingly historical. The songs and rhymes are totally different aspects that are separate from the book. The songs and rhymes in Tolkien's books have exceptional quality to them. The reason for this is because his songs are written in not one language but a number of them. Since he made up his own languages he used them wisely to enrich his books and gave the books something to be remembered for a very long time to come. The one language he used most ofte!.
n in his texts and songs was the Elvin language; this language of his own creation is so beautifully written and so exquisite to the ear, it simply embraces the heart mind and soul. Tolkien's books has a bountiful amount of songs and rhymes in it and sometimes you get carried away from the book itself into the musical world of it's own.
