It might be good to take a look at the preface of The Fellowship of the Ring. In my copy, there is a good 12 pages about the Hobbits, their origins, their love of pipe-weed, the ordering of the shire...etc, and then a few more pages about how the ring etc.
Lots of good stuff that might be good for your paper. Lucky you, getting to do a paper based on LotR...
