My name is Jenelle Jones. I am a sophomore and my major is fashion merchandising with a minor in journalism.
I heard about LOTR when commercials came out about the movie. However, I was never and I’m still not a fan. The story line is good but the movies are too lengthy and I’m not a big sci-fi person to care. However, with taking this class I challenged myself to read and watch the movies--- I am very proud of my progress thus far.
I am fond of Harry Potter although I must admit I stopped reading the series after the 4th book. I found lots of similarities between the two. Both also have a big,almost cult-like following.
In this class I would like to learn more about LOTR.I would like to know what drives people to become so obessessed with it. It seems like people take LOTR really seriously even though it’s fake--- they learn the languages, imagine themselves to be hobbits or elves. I would like to find out WHY?!?!
