JRR Tolkien was a philologist, professor emeritus at Oxford and was officially Celtic mythology, in particular, drawn, and mythology in general. In his letter, also from fellow author CS Lewis, better known to the public because of the influence of "The Chronicles of Narnia." Tolkien began writing "The Hobbit", knowing that this is the first book in a series. What is for children, but its development, the work that attracts the public, will be performed regardless of age.
The central theme of the imagination is not the ring, as many suspect, but the ring plays an important role, but lost the hidden treasure in the Lonely Mountain. Like "The Lord of the Rings", the adventure begins when Gandalf the Grey Wizard appears in the Shire to visit his friend Bilbo Baggins. The hero, the Fellowship of the Ring form are not represented in this book, but only a few of his close family. Bilbo Baggins is Frodo's uncle, AM, and is the main character in the book. Works with 13 dwarfs, including Gloin, who is the father of Gimli, a member of the Fellowship of the Ring is. The Head of the dwarves, Thorin Escudo de Roble, (son of Thrain - son of Thror) with Gandalf in search looking for a thief to make a specific one. The mission is the desire of the lost treasure on the mountain by the dragon Smaug old recover hidden. Bilbo Gandalf appointed to be the thief.

After opening the door to a magical mountain pass, the hobbit begins to act a part: the thief. He managed to steal a cup of dragon using the magic ring. He found in the Misty Mountains and used it to escape the ring, past master AA, Gollum, elves and wood elves. In the mountains, where they used to hang, AO eyes and hide with a headache, that dialogue with him.

To make a long story, dialogue Smaug has drawn the conclusion that the hobbit and dwarves of Esgaroth people were helped, so he decided to destroy the city. Although this hero a name Bard, came out of the city and shot him dragon with an arrow. In the mountains, the dwarves began to feel like owners and wealth. Soon discover that these men came to the lake and the wood elves for their share of luck. What should a battle between the dwarves in the mountains and the dwarves, he has been with the North, came on one side and men on the lake and the elves of the forest on the other hand, the famous "battle of five armies," because not long in the treasure for himself.
This event was the men, dwarves and elves. The story ends with the death of Thorin, but also the victory of their alliance. Gandalf and Bilbo travel back home, and Bilbo began to write his experiences in the book entitled "Return, a story of The Hobbit."

Good Books to Read for Teenagers

Who says a dog is man's best friend is obviously not in the books. In my opinion, the books are there clear winners. Think about it. Books do not ask, the books do not have to be fed, the books do not need an hour or a day or an end. The books that are there when you want and what they need. They inspire, entertain, educate, since the power increase and sustain the business. With so many things and why not in books? And at an early age, too? The thing is, and I learned early in life, the books have a very different world. They learn to think and analyze, criticize and learn to understand and learn so many things, and just sit and read. Why the insistence on a teenager? Because young people the elements of life are ahead, if you're in the magic that books can get created for you, you're quite a life, really. To read the above, and clarity of thought and has some good books for teens.

Good books for young people to read
More reading among young people? Everything! I'll tell you why. If you read the different genres and forms are not the essence of what you like and what not. Not in a particular kind, limited a particular type of book. In addition, reading a book in his youth, then read, even years later as an adult, draw something else to work. Here are my preferred choice of some good books to read for young people.
Not a penny more or a penny less by Jeffrey Archer 

If the humor, wit, sarcasm and where it comes from, how do you find this novel. Archer simplicity with unique skills great story told infused hooks you in this case. The story is simple and interesting and the twist at the end (so characteristic of Archer, really) do you read it again when you left. In fact, Jeffrey Archer several other collections of stories, too.Choose one of these and you're done.

Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger There was something in this book, I really do not know what ... and I feel that what some people in this book, others did not, and vice versa. For me, the inside of the protagonist struggles played with clarity and makes the book should be read. Try to get behind the complexity of human behavior, their insecurities and fears can be very, very depressing, and although the book is that of depression in business operation at all, it's something they can not identify and not envy you, because at some point, somewhere, you were there, so I felt good.
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini 

It is a book that the turmoil of emotions, to say the least cause. With a war-torn Afghanistan in the background, which shows the behavior of raw human emotions. The horrors of war to mourn, as the destruction caused by war, how human behavior is cruel, and wants nothing but peace. The message of hope still shines through, and we are very grateful.

Revival of Tribal Tattoo Art and Their Different Forms

Emergence of Tribal Tattoos

Tribal tattoos have been in existence since ages. Earlier these tattoos were used as demarcations between different tribes, social classes and sects. Each tattoo was associated with the wearer’s social or racial status. But today these tribal tattoos have emerged as a popular body art that has no specific associations with the wearer’s status and is not considered as an exclusive symbol of belongingness.

Research on tribal arts and lifestyles have brought tribal tattoos to the forefront and led to the growing interest of people in these tattoos. However, there has been a considerable shift in the significance of tribal tattoos. While in ancient days, these tattoo had a deeper meaning for the wearers, today they are nothing more than a modern style of skin decoration.

The mystic charm of these tribal tattoos are influenced by the tribal art that was prevalent among different tribes like Celtics (tribal people living in Ireland, Scotland and Wales), the Maoris (tribal people native to New Zealand), the tribal people of North American, African origin and the indigenous residents of Borneo.

Super-producer Daniel Lanois had twisted the sound knobs for artists like U2, Bob Dylan and Peter Gabriel long before he composed the thoughtful, isolation-flavored score to Billy Bob Thornton's 1996 directorial debut, Sling Blade. As a capper to this movie about the long-hospitalized Karl Childers and his loving and violent adventures outside institution walls, Lanois offered up a forceful

CINEMA GALLERY: The ABCs of Cult Movies

I Hate, Hate, HATE Morgan Spurlock

When Morgan Spurlock's desperate, I'm-dead-broke-and-this's-my-last-chance-to-succeed "documentary" Super Size Me erupted in 2004, it seemed to many as if the film was an homemade, impassioned outcry to the world. "This corporation called McDonald's," the movie appeared to say, "is exploiting the poor, the uneducated, the underfed. And I'm here to condemn it." That is, as long as you guys in

Week 6 – Landscape and the Sublime

Wanderer in the mists (1818) Casper David Friedrich

Untitled # 394 - 03 (2003) Richard Misrach

Untitled # 2 (2002) Richard Misrach

1. What and when was the Enlightenment?

“In it’s simplest sense the Enlightenment was the creation of a new framework of ideas about man, society and nature, which challenged existing conceptions rooted in a traditional world-view, dominated by Christianity”. Hamilton (1992)

As discussed by Hooker (1996) it is hard to find a beginning or end to the enlightenment, so it is simply referred to as seventeenth century thought. Hooker goes on in saying, “we can’t really identify an end point either for we still more or less live in an Enlightenment world”.

2. Define the concept of the Sublime.

The concept of the Sublime defined by Burke (1729-1797) “was that the life of feeling and spirit depended on a harmony within the larger order of the universe. The sublime, therefore, was the ultimate experience of divinity, a mixture of awe, fear, and enlightenment produced by the contemplation of a powerful, terrifying nature; for Burke, the Sublime was already connected to landscape.”

3. How did the concept of the Sublime come out of the Enlightenment thought?

Enlightenment thought like the sublime challenged old ideas about nature but most of the emphasis of the enlightenment was on man and society. The sublime concentrates only on nature and how insignificant humans are compared to the natural world.

I believe without the birth of enlightenment thought man would not have realized the ideas of the sublime (as defined in question 2) and how important the natural world is to our lives.

4. Discuss the subject matter, and aesthetic (look) of Misrach's work to identify the Sublime in his work. Add some more images of his work.

As the artist says himself “Paradise has become an uneasy dwelling place; the sublime sea frames our vunerability, and the precarious nature of life itself”. It is very easy for me to identify Misrach’s use of the sublime in his series of photographs called “on the beach”. 

His photographs easily represent “the vastness of space and the human beings insignificance within it,” Richard Misrach: on the beach (2007). We can see this by the immense beach compared to how tiny the people are which are also captured within the photographs.

I find Misrach’s photographs very aesthetically appealing because the beach captured is so beautiful and his photos for me definitely seize this beauty.

5. Identify some other artists or designers that work with ideas around the Sublime, from the Enlightenment era as well as contemporary artists.

Sunny Morning on the Hudson River (1827) Thomas Cole

Flatford Mill 1817 John Constable

The Grand Canal, Venice (1835) JMW Turner

Smokey Clouds over the River (1996) Chen Jun

6. How does Misrach's photography make you feel? Does it appeal to your imagination?

Studying Misrach’s photographs relaxes me. The vastness of the ocean and beach compared to how small the people are in the photographs also has an automatic calming effect on me and I find myself in quite a reflective mood.

These photographs also appeal to my imagination because I want to be included in the photographs and I start to imagine what it would feel like to be there.

7. Add a Sublime image of your choice to your blog, which can be Art or just a Sublime photograph.
