This comment may come naturally after the first reading of the book, however a deeper and more serious analysis could show a more complex version of the literary text. J.R.R Tolkien wrote 'Lord of the Rings' in between of the two World Wars. Essentially, it is justifiably considered as a book that allegorically captured what

John Vincent Hurt was born on January 22, 1940 in Shirebrook, England. He is the son of Phyllis, an engineer, and Arnould Herbert Hurt, an Anglican clergyman and mathematician. The youngest of three children, he spent much of his childhood in solitude. Showing little initiative, he was guided into art as a possible direction.

Christianity appears not as allegory--Tolkien despises that(2)--nor as analogy, but as deep under girding presuppositions, similarities of pattern, and shared symbols. That there should be similarities between the presuppositions of of The Lord of the Rings and Tolkien's Catholic faith is to be expected given Tolkien's own views on Christianity and myth. Regarding the gospel story Tolkien wrote, "The gospels contain a fairy-story, or a story of a larger kind which embraces all

Imagine a society with no rules where chaos, violence, and evil are paramount; there is no absolute leader and disputes are constant. This vision was a reality in William Golding’s Lord of the Flies. In this novel, a group of young British boys are stranded on an island due to a fatal plane crash. While trying to provide for themselves and survive during this crisis, they struggle to find order.

The poem “The Wanderer” speaks of a man who has been exiled from his clan, and is now forced to roam the land alone. Separation from his fellow kinsmen and lord seems to be the worst fate imaginable.

Why I Hate 3-D (And You Should Too) The film industry has always been a modern industry where new inventions are constantly on the rise and put into films to improve the film lovers’ movie experiences.

In Roger Ebert’s “Why I Hate 3-D (And You Should Too),” he states his many arguments and

systems A and B. If A is more inferentially dense but B is less anomalous in content, how do you decide which belief system is more likely? Curiously, Bonjour is largely silent on this point despite its dramatic consequences. The effect of this observation might lead one to the same skeptical conclusion as McGrew's linear foundationalism. In fact, this account may be even more troubling; the total number of possible coherent belief systems increases exponentially with the number of possible explanatory

It is based on the reverence for God and obedience to his laws with the “fear of the Lord” the essence of all true human wisdom.
