“There is a sufficiency in the world for man’s need but not for man’s greed” ~Mahatma Gandhi. Take a glance at the world around us, our society now consists of grounds of greed and avarice. Individuals have other dreams regarding social life, money and aesthetics rather than focusing on relationships, respect, reputation and trust. The world can’t provide any more than our necessities: nature, food, fresh water and oxygen, yet people ask for more. In addition, around a year ago researchers had a…

my loving stepmother. My attentive and caring father. And it wouldn't be complete without their Martell and Lannister cronies would it? Jon loved it here in the North, in Winterfell. The place, the weather, and most of all the people. His uncle, Lord Eddard Stark, whose stern demeanor hid an immensely kind heart. Lady Catelyn Tully Stark, who had become the mother he so desperately wanted his whole life, as his real one had been married away to Jaime Lannister barely a month after he was…

damage relationships, further plots, and cause conflicts. J.R.R. Tolkien fabricated a character with such a secret in his novel The Hobbit. Bilbo Baggins, his character, found Sauron’s One Ring of Power in a cave and hid its existence from all other characters throughout the book. Bilbo’s secret concerning the Ring of Power significantly furthers the plot through his relationships with Gandalf the Grey, the Company of Dwarves, and the dragon Smaug.

But this book does not offer a single page of original and unpublished work. What then is the need, now, for such a book? (Beren and Lúthien 11) That, as a Danish prince once said, is the question. There are, indeed, no words of J. R. R. Tolkien here that have not already appeared in The Silmarillion or The History of Middle-earth, and there are many which have been left out. As Christopher points out in the preface, this particular tale changed dramatically over the years, becoming more and…

The Central Symbol is the Lord of the Flies If one was stuck on an island among a group of unknown children, no adults, and no sign of rescue coming soon, the logical outcome is that they would start to lose touch with reality. This is what happens to most, if not all, of the characters in William Golding’s novel Lord of the Flies.
