@juliannajane63864 жыл бұрын
I’m from a small town in Maine, where King occasionally hangs out. I enjoyed a horror movie at my local cinema, last summer, when he was one of about 15 other movie goers there...him and two of his grandsons. It was awesome seeing his reactions to the movie and sharing a space with him! Also seen him at the local grocery store, occasionally, over the years. Have always loved him. He was one of the first horror writers I ever read as a kid, and his generous scholarship helped me go to a summer writing program at Bates College as a high schooler. He’s such a great guy and an inspiration! 😊

People may finally realize what they see and I hope they begin to seek the better part of themselves and give up this greed and petty materialism. More stuff doesn't make you happy. YOU make yourself happy. What is success? A big empty house with cold angry people who hate each other? Money doesn't equal success in this life. It's just a thing, and a fleeting thing at that!

I was always partial to Faramir. I liked him more than Aragorn, because Aragorn seemed to have no choice in his destiny, whereas Faramir could have chosen to be like brother Boromir but was always better even against the wishes of father Denethor. I also liked Eowyn. If I had to pick a hobbit, I would choose Meriadoc. Eowyn and Meriadoc sacrificing themselves to protect Theoden from the king of the Nazgul had me in tears when I first read LotR: TRotK. (I understand the appeal of Samwise over Frodo, because it is a similar contrast between them as Faramir to Aragorn, where Frodo is bound by destiny and can do no other than he does, and Sam chooses to stay with Frodo after the fellowship of the ring dissolves and he has to carry Frodo, often literally, especially after the fight with Shelob in Cirith Ungol until Smeagol/Gollum meets his Mount Doom.)

@@johan.ohgren I suppose Frodo had some choice. On another note, I do not know whether Tolkien had it in mind for the writer of the second half of the "Red Book" to downplay his role and exalt his friend. In such a case, in his humility, Frodo may not have given himself as much credit as he deserved and made Samwise appear all the better.
