My father made me read the Hobbit and the entire Lord of the Rings series when I was in elementary school and I would in turn force him to watch all of the (extended) Lord of the Rings with me (almost 12 hours of awesome). I even had my own ring!<br /><br />I've researched Tolkien's life before to see if I could understand his inspiration, but I did not know how in depth he was about the way he named Middle-Earth or other features of this masterpiece of a book. It goes to show that development in a huge aspect of any art piece. <br /><br />It's also interesting to think of how Tolkien's work may have influenced artists today - there are different kinds of elves in Harry Potter, perhaps JK Rowling enjoyed the Hobbits in Tolkien's piece? And just recently MTV produced the Shanara Chronicles and while watching the series and reading the books, I was reminded quite a lot of Tolkien's world.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01710780991382591316noreply@blogger.com
