Well, the paradise Pullman describes is very different. Let me rephrase that. After the dead are freed they become part of the earth,trees,grass etc. This has a peaceful feeling (for me). However, Tolkien's paradise (#2) is where people are actually still in a whole form whereas in Pullman's books they go back to the earth. Very different but from both I get a sense of tranquility.
