homework

[LuthienTinuviel]

(add in) if this thread gets closed-because im sure it has been done before- just pm me

hmm im hungry

yum wok cooking,

oh anyways, yea i have this homework assignment after reading Ferinheit 451
we have to pick three books to save and one to "memorise" or "become"
naturally i picked LOTR to be the book(s) i memorise, cause well... i hang out here don't i?
well now i know it's a great book full of adventure and all and i know that if you wanted to look at it in a certain light you could find a lot of well taught lessons and religious aspects, but when i sit down to write why i would save this book, i can't think of any besides that basic good winning over evil and friendship. so, im hoping that you guys can help me remember some of those other lessons (or maybe someone can put them into words better than i can) that LOTR can teach.
so far, when i sit down to write, i have
good winning over evil
erm.. something about even how something so small can do so much
the friendship of sam/frodo or all of the hobbits together.

i know there's more, but when i try to think of them , everything flows right out of my head. pooh. it's like trying to name your favourite song, when someone asks, you have to thin kabout it and catch one before it escapes your mind!
thanks

Good luck. I'm doing a speech on Tolkien.

In Book Three, II, Eomer says"How shall a man judge what to do in such times?"
Aragorn:"As he ever has judged. Good and ill have not changed since yesteryer, nor are they one thing among Elves and Dwarves and another among Men. It is a man's part to discern them, as much in the Golden Wood as in his own house."

"I am Gandalf, Gandalf the White, but Black is greater still"

We cannot defeat the darkness on our own. Cooperation is essential. Look at what happened to Borimir and the party at Amon Hen. Also if you want some more stuff you should look over the "I'm doing an essay on relativism in LotR" thread. Plus the very fact that the thread exists tells you that LotR is very deep. It has a very complex mythos to it which can be interpreted many different ways.

Ummm... this is hard! I had some just ten seconds ago and then I forgot them! Legolas and Gimli are friends, even though elves and dwarves dislike each other, so I guess that says that racism is bad. What about Sam being so loyal to Frodo? That shows loyalty... I give up.:) (Hey, what about perseverence?)

The story shows that nothing is ever hopeless and that self sacrifice is both dificult and necesssary to preserve what is most loved and worth saving. It also makes the point that life goes on for better or for worse.

"The road goes ever on and on down from the door where it began."

There's also the whole love theme (Aragorn & Arwen).. Love and mortality is more desirable than Life without..

Hey I got something that might help...Christiana's quote in Quenya! Even the smallest person can change the course of teh future is "i anpitya li‘ n‡ ilhehta, an nai ahyuvas manœva"

if you can't tell what the special characters are they are lie, na, and manuva but accented.

Also, "some things are not for us to decide. What matters is what we do with the time given to you " which goes to "natilion umelma cilmeli. Mer‘ man carily‘ lumel’nen yalin antin"

again they are mere, carilye, and lumilinen with accents(the "e"s have two dots over them and it just means not to forget about them, that they are said"
