I think if you try to write about Who Is Tom Bombadil you will quickly run out of ideas. I think it would be too challenging to write a long paper about Tom. The research would be hard as well.

If you are well read in all of Tolkiens books, the Balrogs Wings/No Wings can easily get you writing ALOT. But then again, do you really think a teacher will want to read such a paper? I dont.

I suggest the Christian thing that has already been pounded on. It is very easy to make connections between the Bible and Tolkiens work. But I try not too seeing as he specifically said there is no allegory whatesoever.

Have fun though.
