Well...

Hello there!

After a long break I am back and I promise I will make up for missing entries. My life right now is one big mess and any attempt to sort it out fails so be understanding, please!

When it comes to my BA thesis... I would willingly stop here but I must give you some info. My original idea was to write about Tolkien's stereotyped images about America on the basis of his letters. I admit, it was  great idea. However, his letters, 700 pages, does not provide  enough information about the States to write 3 decent chapters. That is why the subject of my thesis has to change. I think I have an idea but I will write about it when I am hundred percent sure.

Nevertheless,  I am still writing about Tolkien at least one chapter. His opinions on America are very critical and almost every single utterance about this country brings a negative message. It really had intrugued me so I started digging deeper to find source of such an attitude. I am still in process, though. If you have any meterials that may help me find the answer you know where to find me 😊

I have to admitt, I've chosen very difficult subjct. Yet, I am so keen to discover, or at least try to discover, what was in Tolkien's complicated mind that I will do everything in my power to write this chapter. After reading his letters I am in love with Tolkien and I respect him even more, even though he was a little bit glossy. But hey, after all he created a masterpiece so let's turn a blind eye to his vagaries.

I wish all of us good luck with literature test tomorrow! 
See ya!

Shame on me...

After quite a break I am back! More alive and kicking than ever (except I can barely squeeze into my jeans) 😂

I don't know about you but I find extremely difficult trying to go back to normal after such a long period of eating, sleeping, and eating again. However tomorrow's quiz makes me get back on the track a little bit faster.

When it comes to my BA thesis... Well... Shame on me. I did absolutely nothing during Christmas break. I shouldn't be writing this, but hey, let's be honest with each other.

However, there is one interesting news I've got. The team of Elendilion (facebook informational profile about Tolkien) that i wrote about in my last post responded to my message. They didn't provide me with much information but they prompted me an additional source that my be useful for my BA thesis.

The plan for the rest of the week is to do some decent research and read Tolkien's Letters that constitutes the base of my BA thesis. 700 pages cannot wait any longer  so see you quys tomorror!

Toodles!
