Hello friends and fans.
Remember me?
Well, I remember you, because I used your answers for my senior thesis and now the time has come to see the fruits of my labor...
I wrote my thesis and I also made a presentation on it... and here it is
I hope you enjoy it... feel free to tell me what you think whether you agree with me or not...

I enjoyed your talk.
Since evidence can be adduced and interpreted to corroborate a virtually limitless array of world views, the human challenge is to engage that world view or set of perspectives which brings forth the most valuable, life-enhancing consequences.

That was fun. Thank you. I'm interested that it was so hard for you to read the book when you loved the story so much. My son was much the same way. I read it to him when he was nine, and he has always loved it, but I don't think he's ever read it himself (he's in his thirties).
I read it once in Spanish, after a couple dozen times in English. And that was interesting. Spanish is such a sensuous language, and things that might seem too flowery in English sound perfectly fine in Spanish. So it brought a richness to the story. (Aragorn was particularly yummy in Spanish.)

Great lecture! I had never thought about taking ownership of, or taking pride in, LOTR or other literature, but it's true; I do feel those things about my favorite books. Films and music as well. Thanks for the insight.
And congratulations!

Ha! - very apt considering Viggo is fluent in Spanish (and several other languages!)
