Every laborer is assigned a quota and if they fulfill the quota, then they can eat. If you do not meet the quota then you are given just enough rations to stay alive. Almost everybody was on the level of starvation and everybody had to fight to survive. Father had the lowest difficulty of work but after getting caught preaching to the other prisoners, then he was put in the highest level of difficulty.

The personal persuasive essay was by hands down the best essay I have written and also the most enjoyable to write. This was the only essay that I felt that I was just talking on paper and it was the only essay that I can see myself actually saying the words that I said in my paper. The fact that it was so natural to me is the reason why I enjoy it so much, it’s not something I had to research and it all came from me, I was the only source. From this paper I learned the art of convincing, now I can sweet talk my way in person when I’m talking to someone but it’s hard to do it on paper where you can’t read off a person to see their reaction. You have to know your audience well so that you can anticipate what they need to hear without you being

Thesis: John Ronald Reule Tolkien’s life experiences influenced his writing, beginning as a student, then a soldier, lexigrapher, professor, and then a writer to his own children; Tolkien’s life created the place known to most as Middle-Earth.

Thesis: In The Hobbit, Tolkien wants to show the reader that anyone, from any background can step up to a challenge, and be extraordinary rather than ordinary.

A saying i've kept to myself is to get back up when knocked down. This saying doesn’t just stand for getting up when literally knocked down but can keep a deeper meaning than what it says as for example being knocked down by a difficult obstacle to overcome and getting up to find a way to get past it and achieving it. Some people may not see this as something important but they don’t think about how getting up after knocked down can be something that can or would have been like a positive outcome into their life and how they are given two choices when knocked down which is to stay down or get back up and continue going forward.

The fairies and the fairy realm have many responsibilities in this play. The most important of which is that they are the cause of much of the conflict and comedy within this story. They represent mischievousness and pleasantry which gives the play most of its emotion and feeling. They relate to humans because they make mistakes but differ in the fact that they do not understand the human world.

I had always assumed that my legs were strong and that I had decent muscle control, however, this thought was proven wrong at the beginning of my junior year in high school due to a detrimental injury. It was the first game of fall league for basketball, and within the first five minutes I had succumbed to an injury. Tearing my ACL and Meniscus has taught me to continue improving on my strength, not let this one injury keep me down, and to keep a positive mindset.

I have learned a great many things from playing soccer. It has changed my entire outlook on and attitude toward life. Before my freshman year at Cool high school, I was shy, had low self-esteem and turned away from seemingly impossible challenges. Soccer has altered all of these qualities. On the first day of freshman practice, the team warmed up with a game of soccer. The players were split up and the game began. However, during the game, I noticed that I didn't' t run as hard as I could, nor did I try to evade my defender and get open. The fact of the matter is that I really did not want to receive the ball. I didn't' t want to be the one at fault if the play didn't' t succeed. I did not want the responsibility of helping the team

In the lecture Tolkien tells the readers that the man has the power to create stories in order to describe the events of what people are going through. They can express these stories as “satire, adventure, morality, and fantasy” and “causes it to take living form and colour before the eyes.” This makes the readers understand that the fairy stories are created with the intentions to relate to existing events happening, but can be seen in different ways and told by different personifications.

J. R. R. Tolkien has left a lasting impression on both the physical and fictional realm. His personality and worldly works cast ripples throughout the world, while his literature affected the very fabric of fictional writing. He is an author who is given the place of glory in bookshelves across the nations, and his novels are cherished by millions. Tolkien reigns supreme as the lord of fictitious writing. Other works of fantasy are compared to him, the perpetual example of superior authorship. Even decades after their original publication the words of Tolkien rest securely in the minds of dedicated readers. His actions and experiences are still beloved and revered. The courageous war service, sagacious teachings, and beautifully penned words

One of the largest influences on Tolkien’s life was through his experiences at Oxford. There, he met his closest friends who

However, Tolkien also attempts to show that everyone and everything has its time, and once one feels that he or she has completed his or her fate within this world, he or she can prepare themselves to move on. Whenever Galadriel sends messages to the Fellowship once the Fellowship reach the land of Rohan, Galadriel warns Legolas, a fellow elf, to “Beware of the Sea!/If thou hearest the cry of the gull on the shore,/Thy heart shall then rest in the forest no more” (Tolkien, Two Towers 112). Legolas later acknowledges that his longing to cross the sea developed when he sings of the beauty of the coast and the sea, and laments that the sea began to call to him as Galadriel predicted (Tolkien, Return 156). The singing of the poem about the beauty of the sea indirectly draws the reader’s attention to Legolas’ desires and his racial destiny to cross the sea, exemplifying the racial theme of longing. Motifs are also prevalent as symbols for elven racial

While the Victorian era saw fairies as diminutive creatures and fantastical worlds or adventures, Tolkien’s emphasis was on the mortal man. He writes in his essay, “Faerie contains many things besides elves and fays, and besides dwarfs, witches, trolls, giants, or dragons: It holds the seas, the sun, the moon, the sky; and the earth, and all the things that are in it: tree and bird, water and stone, wine and bread, and ourselves, mortal men, when we are enchanted “(On Fairy Stories 4). Tolkien thus believed that a fairy tale consisted of the entire world through an enchanted perspective, that even mortal men are enchanted in a fairy tale. Within “Of Beren and Lúthien,” the protagonist is Beren who is a man in love with Lúthien. Lúthien is the daughter of an Elf and a Maiar and is thus connected with the Valar, the “angels” of Middle Earth and based off of Germanic and Greek/Roman Gods. Their love is thus enchanted and Beren’s quest to make Lúthien his is Heroic and full of enchantment. Tolkien also writes, “Stories that are actually concerned primarily with “faries,” that is with creatures that might also in modern English be called “elves,” are relatively rare, and as a rule not very interesting. Most good “fairy stories” are about the adventures of men in the Perilous Realm or upon its shadowy marches” (On Fairy Stories 4). Thus he stresses the importance of a fairy tale to emphasize the adventures of men and not focus completely on the lives of elves or fairies. As well, the journey through the “Perilous Realm” then becomes more enchanting and fantastical when completed by a

As a very small child I don’t remember too much, but the things that I do remember were seen through a child’s eyes that has made me the person that I am today and I will always have those memory’s with me until my last breath on this earth. In this essay I intend to show how my childhood and adult life to this point has influenced my life, my journey. By utilizing the adult development theories from this class I also intend on showing how they relate to my Life experiences and where I am today as an Adult student.

In “The Faerie Queene”, Spencer Edmund produces an allegory. His intention was to relate England in the 1590s to a mythical land in which each character had a symbolic meaning as well as the events they were undergoing. He lived in an era where Roman Catholicism was replaced with Protestantism and he dedicated himself to unconsciously teach and educate his readers the Catholic Church was corrupted and was the wrong religion to follow. For this reason, he gave each character a common role who would relate to anyone in England and showed the readers how his role in the story symbolized good or evil. The themes he expressed in his books talked about his interpretation in religion, politics, symbolism, and his dedication to make his allegory as influential as possible.
