You appear highly uneducated and unresearched, The Eye of the World is nothing like The Fellowship of the Ring.
Nothing like it eh? Book starts off and ends as a chase scene which is pretty much the entire premise of FOTR. In fact many early fantasy books emulated FOTR.
Not saying that it wasn't an influence but it is a different read and style.
The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and Winnie-the-Pooh both have anthropomorphic animals that interact with humans, so the former is basically a clone of the latter, right?
Lotr starts with a birthday party and things go wrong after Gandalf found about Bilbo's ring. Followed by black riders coming to the Shire.
Wot starts with a festival, Bel Tine, and Trollocs come in.
Lotr has 9 members in the fellowship, including a powerful wizard, Gandalf, an uncrowned king, Aragorn, 3 friends.
Wot has 8 members, including a powerful aes sedai, an uncrowned king, Lan, and 3 friends Rand, Mat, Perrin
Lotr Gandalf dies and come back later
Wot Thom dies apparently and I'm pretty sure he'll be back
Both have a dark lord coming to power after being defeated once
Both are traveling from place to another the whole book
Both have a prophecy and a chosen one
Should I go on?
I forgot one, both have a loyal servant to the dark lord that was tortured by him so they hate him and fear him at the same time, who are after what the dark lord is seeking... Gollum and the Peddler
