ok, some people might know I've started a thread similar to this one, in the hp forum heh, but I realised how many centuries it's been since I've started any sort of thread in this forum
Well, a few ppl know i occasionally write for my parents, so I was thinking of doing another lotr/hp-related article, relating a new topic that's been bothering me...
Firstly, I know few people who've read lotr, or who just like it
I have five BEST friends, and out of the five of them... only one has read harry potter & LotR and she loves them
But i truly despise the way other people feel about the book...
If it's not suited to your taste, i understand that... i mean, there are alot of books some people might refer to as classics, that easily put me to sleep
But, one my 5 friends, ((she's a... Jehoviah, i think )) her parents prohibit her to read hp/LotR, for the reason that it's against their religion.
Personally, i find nothing relating to "devilry" as many people do...
My personal opinion, I disagree with both drastics- those who truly despise the books saying it's dark and against God.... and those who'd go to all corners of the Earth for the books
However, one thing that REALLY tests me, is when people who haven't even READ one of the books, fall by the opinions of others only, and agree that it's evil, and a poor story line, etc.. I know people like that^^
I respect independant thinkers who formulate their own theories and opinions, rather than blindly accepting that of the majority, or relgion, or whoever..
And it's despicable to me, people who defend their own fabricated beliefs, without taking in a word of opposition, and turning a deaf ear to all else... i know alot of narrow-minded people like that..
Of course, I won't be as biased when I write the actual article, but it's just my opinion, and I wanted to hear yours, since you're all fans of the books, so I can make the story as well-rounded as possible
