The Lord of the Rings, by J.R.R. Tolkien
The epic story of good and evil, a little like star wars, except no outer space and kind of magical. I fell in love with it when my uncle took me to watch the movies one cold night in 2001. It was very near new years and I really wanted to stay in, but he said he loved the books. We saw the first part (The Fellowship of the Ring), and throughout the movie i kept saying "Danny I love it" and he kept telling me "sshhh". I was enthralled. He then made me read "The Hobbit" so that I would have context, and it was by far the best, somehow! However they were all good. Slowly I became obsessed with all things Lord of the Rings. I wanted to experience it in every way possible. It grew deeper and deeper in me like a seed. I have highly active imagination, however I could never get my fill of the Lord of the Rings, then I found Lord of the Rings Online. It consumed me. However in Massive Multiplayer Online Games there tends to be drama, so we need to take breaks from them ever so often. Also recently they made it Free to Play, which means they make money through a shop, and it has been a big killjoy.
This time of year is full of Christmas music and this and that, but this time I wanted to fill it with something I loved, so I am rereading all the books, watching the movies, and may play the games (as I write, Boromir just got shot, in the movie, by the Urukhai, and geez what a scene. Merry and Pipin get carried away, and Boromir is there with 20 arrows in his chest).
Above is a link to a project I did on Middle Earth, sometime soon I will put up the power point also. It was a presentation for a Landscape class I took during my masters at Akron. This kind of proves, that you can almost study anything when you are doing your "higher education".
If you haven't read the books or seen the movies... go do so. It is not for everyone however, but they are still some of the best made movies ever.
