Lord of the rings 3-J.R.R. Tolkien

significance
i chose this book because this is the continuation to a book i read a few months ago. The truth to what would be the end of a destiny, far away from the light at the end of the cave they call hope. blinded by betrayal and their distance from the end of their journey, when the end is just a step away.


perspective
this story takes place in middle earth, a land consumed by a war obsessed with relics of great powers. territories divided, ranging from a plain inhabited with small men that have 7 meals, to a land decayed by dark powers ruled by orcs. with water falls dedicated to dead soldiers, and mountains that's lava is only known to burn all into ashes


evidence
This is a stoy ranging from impossible to dream, these kind of dream made people and decay filled lands could never exist, it is just a impossibility for giant spiders and 20 foot one eyed barbarians to exist in a land like this. the only place things like this could exist is in is a 9 year olds mind.

connection
this story inspires not just my reading flavor, but a story i have to carry with me when all hope is buried in a wastlelad of flames

supposition
i would predict that if astoryt was to rise from the ashes of this book(i didn't burn my copy, it's just a metaphor), the ring would appear in some major city, making this story have new characters, and might have the old ones be minor characters. and a new threat rises to try and take the ring.

harry potter5-J.k. rowling

significance
this book is carrying on the legacy that inspires many, a book telling you that right beyond your sight, there might just be a world where the unimaginable is a everyday sight. a land that you once thought was a childhood dream,is really the field beneath your feet.
perspective
this takes place in a modern time, persumably in the 1980's. The magority of the story is in hogwarts, a wizarding school hidden and practically unlocatable, but the begginning takes place in london, england.
evidence
This story is obviously fiction, meant to inspire man in many ways. But there are some points that hint real life. such as azkaban, being the wizard version of an asylum. and referencing to political problems.
connection
this story, obviously pulled me into mythological style books even more. It inspires us all, showing us the joy you can obtain by reading a good story.
supposition
this story would be a tad more harder to imagine in the 3rd crusade instead of it's original time period. getting mixed up with several religious conflicts, having magical wars erupt everywhere, literally rippling the world into pieces
