I like the healing of Aragorn and the Elves, too. ------------- All very true and I agree completely except ... If I have to choose between being Obiwan or Gandalf, I much prefer having a light saber to a knobby stick when confronting the forces of darkness and evil. Not to mention having been called both an Orc and a Rock Troll more than a few times in the past few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 You daughter will find good company here. Her art projects sound way cool. I read the series when I was in jr high (a long time ago, indeed). I read them all again to the girls the year the FOTR came out. We found the audio version on cd at our library and since we had them out continuously we decided to get our own copy. My oldest is reading the books again herself - and my number 2 has listened to each book about 7 times. We also have the extended version of FOTR and TTT. The girls sit around discussing the finer points in amazing detail. Our screen saver is from Two Towers, we have several calendars, book marks, toys hanging around and just one computer program. I also downloaded the entire course from B&N last year and we've gone through some of it - but I discovered the girls knowledge went far beyond the course expectations. There is a very active online group and if you are interested I will look up the address. I spent some time there, but just don't have the time to keep it up. > > Re: Yoda Comment > > > Now I would rather spend time in Middle Earth - Star Wars was good - > but nothing can compare to The Lord of the Rings.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 You just go ahead and be Obiwan - but remember that although the light saber is flashy - it doesn't compare in power to the humble staff. However, I can understand your reluctance to being called and Orc and a Troll. The orcs were originally elves that were somehow corrupted - maybe they can be rehabilitated and emerge similar to elves again This was a huge discussion on the discussion boards - and never fully decided - perhaps you could be the experimental data for the theory?? > > Now I would rather spend time in Middle Earth - Star Wars was good - > but nothing can compare to The Lord of the Rings.

I also read the entire series in high school. is 15.5 years old. It's amazing our common interests in literature and music and movies! If I remember, I'll try to take digital pix of the projects and send them. What's the course you were referring to? Can you send me that link too??? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2004 Report Share Posted May 5, 2004 The course I used to frequent was part of and Noble University (BNU) - and online 'class'. This one was free and ran for over a year. Unfortunately they aren't offering it anymore. However, many of the people that were there are now over at Tolkien's Ring. I haven't hung out there, too many things to do - maybe someday. They are very friendly there - and very wise in all things Tolkien. The web address http://groups.msn.com/tolkiensring My daughters are 12, 10, 8 and 7 (on Saturday) I've lost count of the times we've watched the movies and the appedicies. My oldest gets upset when we watch the DVDs because my 10yo is always correcting the movie - she know everything! Looking forward to the pix. > > Re: Yoda Comment > > send me the info off list > bonnieh4455@s... > > has read each book several times, watched the extended versions that we own countless times.
