It continues the long and interesting story about two young men who set out to safe their country of Middle Earth. Everything relies in their hands and the Ring of Sauron must be destroyed. The second movie left off right where the first ended and it was even better than the first I thought. Frodo and Sam find themselves lost in the rocky hills west of

pollute numberless aisles of video rental stores. These films are badly conceived and produced; they fail to elicit any emotion resembling fear, doing a better job at causing a movie viewer to chuckle at the mediocrity of their inherent horror.

The Eucharist in Fellowship of the Ring, Return of the King, and Two Towers J.R.R. Tolkien's use of waybread takes on the properties of the Catholic Eucharist in The Lord of the Rings. He creates lembas, a special kind of dried bread and made it the primary food source for the main characters. This special food is, in certain ways, a type of Eucharist, as defined by the Catholic church. Specifically, the parralells can be found in the outward similarities and the surrounding effects.

Comparing the structures of benzene and 1, 3, 5-cyclohexatriene: One would expect to have similar enthalpy changes for breaking the delocalized ring of benzene and the 1, 3, 5 pi bonds of the 1, 3, 5-cyclohexatriene, but in real life it is around 150
The Harry Potter series and the Lord of the Rings trilogy are both some of the most well-known books in literature. Both series have had an immense impact on the fantasy genre.

Rowling, is composed of seven novels
legendary debates. All readers have their own individual opinions however, the one fact that readers can agree on is that two books are never the same. However, is this true? What if books are merely two sides of the same coin? Close but always apart. Mirroring one another but always showing an individual flaw.
