Well, I hope I am not to late, but I also did a college paper on Tolkiens works. My professor wanted me to compare some aspect of the books to "real life." Here are some of the aspects that I compared;
The racial discrimination that was taking place in Middle Earth between the Elves and the Dwarfs. Which my be compared to some racial issues today.
The fight between "good and evil." Such as the fight between Sauron and the rest of the free world of Middle Earth may be compaired to the current fight againts terrorism.
The message that he portrays that no matter how heavy a burden is, either emotionally or physically, that one must carry it through until the very end. Such as Frodo did with the Ring and that one must be careful when taking on a bruden if it can't be avoided.
I hope that helps!
