Only thrice have I had the opportunity to make JRRT's works into book reports: first, in my sixth grade, I made one for Smith of Wooton Major; my second year high, The Lays of Beleriand; fourth year, the Silmarillion which I must say was Morgoth-centric.

But I have a really big crime: I made other people's book reports during my fourth year high, and I used RotK on one of them. THe teacher never traced the sold projects to me, though she had a hunch that some of the reports were not genuine. I had a very low profile, until I became e-in-chief of our paper, where I snitched in some Tolkien in the Literary Page (our school did not recognize Tolkien the way they recognize Rowling).
