I strongly belive that LOTR is classic. First of all it is timeless. People can red it 100 years from now and still relate, which doesn't happen to books that occur in present day becuase the thought and Ideas reflected in most mainstream writing go only skin deep into what most people want to read for entertainment. LOTR on the other hand conatains truths and insights to humanity that have existed since the beginning of man and will exist 'till it's end. Things like, loyalty, honor, love, and suffering. All these things are felt by people no matter what time and place they are living in. In order for a book to be a classic it must "stand the test of time" and I belive LOTR does.


Anyhow...I would love to live in ME. I don't think i would mind at all not having cell phones or computer. I mean there are many things we have today true...but at the same time there are many things I feel our society has lost, things which are present in LOTR. For example, the importance of family, and honor in ones heritage. The importance of history is something I greatly appreciate in LOTR (most people today could care less about history but in LOTR everyone is facinated about stories of the past). Also just the way of life. I mean today everyone is moving so fats sometimes you don't get to enjoy life as much as you want. In LOTR people seem to know how to live, to enjoy nature (esspecially) and to enjoy being with one another. (Sure I know it isn't all good when there is a WaR but when there isn't a war...)Jst the traditons that LOTR has that are lost topday are really great. I don't know it just seems to me we have lost many things that LOTR still shows and there fore I enjoy reading and experiencing things that if I asked people to do with me they may be like "what?" (for example, lets just take a walk, lets have tea...ect.)

As for what race I would be. Well I think i would be an elf. Not becuase I like thier abilities or looks, but becuase my personality fits with them closer than other races. I like angst and I like to live in the past and I like to appreciate nature. Also it is cool how elves can just be and don't need much food or sleep...they are just really mysterious and intriguing.

Oh well. ^-^
