Query: Pray your instructor hasn't actually read Lord of the Rings

Some people are too gentle in describing this booklet. Perhaps they hope lazy students who rely upon Cliff's Notes will get what they deserve: a failing grade.You might get a better idea of what The Lord of the Rings is about by reading the National Lampoon parody, Bored of the Rings. The first time I looked through this booklet I was astounded that anyone could put any faith in it.To any English Lit. students who need to do a paper on Tolkien, I'll share with you the advice one of my favorite English professors gave to one of my American Lit. classes (but it's just as applicable): "Y'all need to learn the fine art of skimmin'!" Dr. Hinton, that was great advice. May it guide new generations of students away from Cliffs Notes.
