Huzzah, another coemnmt! Thanks again for taking some time to read another paper. Allow me to quickly explain this paper's flaws: First off, I'm not sure if inexperience counts as a worthy explanation, but as a freshman in college, I'm certain I blundered my way through this one. As this specific paper was for a Rhetoric course, I had to take up a counterclaim against an already published claim. Looking at it from a professor's standpoint, I like to think I accomplished that, though my analysis of Tolkien was probably terrible, as I didn't really know how to analyze his work aside from using his own words at the time. Admittedly, I am not the greatest arguer, preferring to explain or discover things more than anything else.I do hope that I mentioned the unintentional racism, as that is clear from Tolkien's upbringing and his mission to create a mythology for England. (Ah ha, there it is in paragraph four, but hardly delved into )I do see your point in that his motivations should have been front and center. Paragraph twelve about Gimli & Legolas could have been rewritten to bring that back into focus, now that I look at it.Ach, the dreaded word! Postmodernism! I have never had much love for it You make some good points, and I too agree that differences should not be seen as negative, although I'm not quite sure if that was made clear (or even stated) in my paper. I feel as if it may have been implied at some point. Well, at any rate, it got the job done prompt-wise. I really wish I had been able to research the creation of Sindarin and Quenya instead, as that was my first choice. But being a Rhetoric class, I couldn't find any claims that have been made about them. Shame, really.
