LoTR instilled in me a love for epic fantasy with all the right components-heroism, beauty, morality, courage, love-all of it. And as a result I look for those things in real life too and appreciate them as greatly as I did Sam rescuing Frodo or Faramir rejecting the Ring or Eowyn killing the Nazgul. There were important lessons throughout the book. One of my favourites was the one illustrated by Legolas and Gimli's friendship. You can overcome all differences of any kind to come togther as friends.

"But why?" he asked in bewilderment, looking upon Death. "Why?" he asked again. </p>
