The content sections
on the site include
· Author and History: Follow
key events in J.R.R. Tolkien's life and how they influenced The Lord of
the Rings.
· Myth and Storytelling: Tolkien
created the mythology and history of Middle-earth to serve as the poetic
legend he felt his homeland, England, lacked.
· Language and Culture: Despair
over the loss of cultures and languages resonates throughout The Lord of
the Rings. What does it mean when one culture changes or vanishes?
· Real World Parallels: Discuss
if individuals today, no matter how epic their quests, really have any
power?
The follow streaming clip is available
