Do you feel you learn more from Tolkien and the Downs than School? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Well, I am 14 years of age, and In year nine. I feel that reading Tolkien works has greatly improved my work at school. Firstly, I have always enjoyed and been good at english, but after reading Tolkien my work got even better from seeing Mr Tolkiens techniques. Also I have been reading alot more than usual, and taking an interest history...ok, so its ME's history, but its history nonetheless!But reading it has left me with a bit of a longing for something more pure than the world that we live in today.
Also, I was a bit hesitant about revealing my age and I hope that it will not influence how seriously you take my posts and opinions. Thankyou! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
