What should I write about? (regarding Tolkien) - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Definitely write about his passion of languages, and how he created a world specifically for his invented languages. Say how he wrote as if things were revealed to him, not as if he created them. Of how he took things happening in his world as seriously as if they were real. Of how perfectionist he was, that much that he didn't finish what he wanted and that he wouldn't have published anything if it wasn't for CS Lewis. And teachers mustn't like the big hollywood action/adventure/fantasy/popcorn movies, so don't stress too much on the movies.
