The fall of the boys’ unstable political system, the physical decomposition of the boys’ cleanliness, along with the destruction…

Many of the conflicts that arise reach a point where they can never truly be resolved. Yes, fortunately, the boys who were stranded on…

the infamous writer, author of the Hobbit, and later in his life The Lord of The Rings. Tolkien also battled alongside many other soldiers in World War I, which begs the question if his works are related to the war or if they are merely an escape from the horrors of war.
