Tolkien

right, I chose the ultimate dude for someone who has inspired me with their work for a report I am doing in an english class.

I was wondering if anyone can give me some key issues I could use for his work (on middle earth that is), I dont need to know how he was inspired (I read the topic on that a few threads down)

So far I have got the magnificant creatures he created and such epic battle scenes he imagined, I am going to mention alot about the story behind the ring also - about how it came to be and whatnot (pretty much the prologue from FOTR)

Discos - Cheers if anyone helps out, I will see if I will give anyone a mention once the report is finished,

* also this is a speech report, I will be reading it to about 200 other people or so in the lecture theatre,

well you could also say about erm...why sauron created the ring..well because hes evil but WHY is he evil...therefore enabling you to bring morgoth/melkor into the story, letting you explain stuff about the silmarillion..the music..the valar...the war of wrath....the tragedy of it (seeing high races of men and elves die and/or fade out to nothingness)
