Faction Lore
Ummmm well, as Tom is know as 'A strange creature' to most, he is not a part of any 'faction', but I'll just describe the Old Forest :smiley: The old forest is indeed a old and not so prosperous forest which has been
in Middle-earth for a very long time, covering most of Eriador before the second age. Throughout that time the Old Forest has been through a lot, surviving deforestation by the Númenóreans and the wars against Sauron and alittle more recently the 'Bonfire' by the hobbits of Brandywine to stop the Old Forest from spreading to close to The Hedge Experience in RP My only big amount of RP was done on the FA server, as I had to do a lot as Galdor The Tall, Lord of Dor-lomin from discussing war terms with other faction leaders to ceremonies Why you should pick me Well I really have and interest in Tom Bombadil and as he is not really that prevalent at the time so I won't have much ability to make random server drama (civil wars :P) Please consider me for the role -Muffin o' Death (Ian)

Clay Dillow’s “To Catch a Bombmaker” was published by Popular Science in October 2015. This article educated the reader about the FBI’s Terrorist Explosive Device Analytical Center— a key aspect in the fight against terrorism. Dillow focused on ethos and logos to strengthen the validation of his claim concerning the importance of the TEDAC and was successful in persuading the reader to believe in its significance as well. He used expert quotes from FBI agents to give the article credibility; In addition, he presented statistical data in a clear and concise manner and gave many factual cases in which the TEDAC facilitated the government in their pursuit of terrorist and bomb makers. As proven by Dillow in “How to Catch a Bombmaker,” the Terrorist
Dark forest- a journey here of a life path. It full of roots, deeply rooted into the earth (the unconscious). The live fills with strange paths, tendrils and thorns, so ‘one’ can get easily lost, like Snow White who lost in the forest,
In Tolkien’s lecture, “Beowulf: The monsters and the Critics,” he argues that Beowulf has been over analyzed for its historical content, and it is not being studied as a piece of art as it should be. He discusses what he perceives the poet of Beowulf intended to do, and why he wrote the poem the way he did. Tolkien’s main proposition, “it was plainly only in the consideration of Beowulf as a poem, with an inherent poetic significance, that any view or conviction can be reached or steadily held” (Tolkien). He evaluates why the author centers the monsters throughout the entire poem, why the poem has a non-harmonic structure, why and how the author fusses together Christianity and Paganism, and how the author uses time to make his fictional poem seem real. He also discusses the overall theme of Beowulf and other assumptions of the text. To support his viewpoints, Tolkien uses quotations and examples from the poem, quotations from other critics, and compares Beowulf to other works of art. Tolkien discusses several statements in interpreting Beowulf as a poem.
The terror of nuclear war, the fright of your home being destroyed before your eyes. This was what was facing 16 year old Sorry Rinamu in the novel The Bomb by Theodore Taylor.

Since the beginning of the society, the forest has been portrayed as a place filled with darkness, and inhabited by the devil and other unworldly creatures. The rumors that were formed about what could be lurking in the forest were created to fill the void of knowledge of what was in the woods and to give them something to believe in. In reality, what lurked in the forest was still unknown to most people. The mystery of the forest was what people were so scared of.
Cosimo is said to have made his life in the trees as much as life on earth. He invents a system in which he is able to sleep, bathe, cook, hunt, and do many other things not normally thought of being able to do in the trees. There are many central characters in The Baron.

Overall, Tom is a boy at heart. Beginning to end, the story contains evidence about Tom's youthful personality. That doesn't mean he is a bad kid, it means that he does mature things at random times, and does immature things immediately after. In other words, he is a little mature from the start but he doesn't get any more mature throughout the book. It also means that in Twain's thoughts, Tom will need to make a few more mistakes to gain the wisdom and maturity of a
Abraham Bomba was a holocaust survivor who grew up in a town called Czestochowa. This is where his story started, I got them impression that he was a grateful one. He realized that he did not have a lot “We were not rich but fortunate,” but he something. Mr. Bomba mentioned how he went to school during the day and religion at night, this reminded me about when Elie went to school during the day and at night he went to the synagogue to weep over the Temple. Bomba stated briefly about his father and how he was a man who took care of others before himself. “He was very intelligent man i’d say. Fluently in German, Polish, Jewish and Russia. He was a very nice looking man i’d say so, also he spent seven and a half year in the Russian Army, so he
In the beginning of the novel Toms characteristics are starting to be revealed. His love of being dominant are clearly presented as he states his idea of a gang, with him being the captain. He even tells Huck,” Now
At the start of the passage, Tom is introduced with a “reputation (as) a ready moneyed man, who would
At first read, Tom Bombadil seemed to be to be a representation of God in Middle Earth. He seemed to be an incredibly, wise, and angelic being, along with his wife, Goldberry, who is dressed in magnificent silver. If Tom is a representation of the image of God, Goldberry could easily represent the image of God’s Church. Tom told the hobbits stories about the Old World, and told them he is the oldest being in Middle Earth. Tom says, “But you are young and I am old. Eldest, that’s what I am. Mark my words, my friends: Tom was here before the river and the trees; Tom remembers the first raindrop and the first acorn. He made paths before the big people, and saw the little People arriving” (148). After completing the reading I had a different outlook
He lives in a huge red and white Georgian Colonial mansion in East Egg, at that time period a very wealthy part of New York, and he is owner of enough polo ponies to have his own team. According to McClinton-Temple success is equated to wealth, but success doesn’t always makes you happy (paragraph 1, line 6). I agree because you can see that Tom isn’t happy with his marriage because
