for example, the last chapter of the humerous book No Coins, Please by Gordon Korman proves a lot of my (not written here) arguments about the fall of the united states/the world and the danger of efifciancy, but Korman surely never thought about that well righting that. I was once told that the only books anyone had to read were Dr. Seuss's Are You My Mother and The Cat In The Hat, because the former was about the search for love and the latter about "order and chaos" vs. "freedom and enslavement". I don't agree, but it proves my point. I could (with reserch) find a way to beleivably cry "Allegory" about any of those 3 (and I almost believe some scholers do something like that). Besides, we all agree that Tolkien was smart enough to make up his own plot, this is just like the people who say Shakespeare didn't write his own plays.
