the virtual world. There are many different Lord of the Rings games for different consoles and gaming devices. I would have to say that there are very few that I have not played or heard of, but the games meant more than just a waste of time, money, and brain power as some would argue. As a counter-argument, the games allowed for me to explore the world Tolkien created for myself and from many different viewpoints. The most memorable was a game titled Lord of the Rings: The Battle for…

Ever heard of the Lord of the Rings? If the answer is yes, amazing; if the answer is “no”, well, the answer is hopefully not “no.” Although it is merely a work of fiction, the Lord of the Rings has characters that possess honorable traits. If I could nominate anyone--real or made-up--to be my role model, I would choose Frodo Baggins. Frodo is the main character in Lord of the Rings; he’s a creature that is similar to a human: a hobbit (a short humanlike creature with extremely large and hairy…

A prominent proposition calls for 80% of the body to be chosen and the name to change to the "Second Chamber." In 1999, the House of Lords had more…

the introduction of sin onto the Earth, all of mankind eventually commit sins. Romans 3:23 states, “…for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Our inevitable crimes come to pass due to various stimuli. Many characters and symbols in Lord of the Flies by William Golding are shown to be capable of both good and evil. Golding offers the idea that society’s beast is innate in all of us (143). No matter how we act in convenient circumstances or where we grew up, we can all “fall victim…

Bilbo Baggins accomplished this by slaying terrifying spiders, outwitting the sneaky Gollum and escaping the wise wood elves. All of this to defeat the dragon Smaug and recover the things that once belonged…
