Position Paper: Reader-response I read a book the other day. It was a wonderful book called The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien. I really enjoyed it; it gives the background information on the creation of Middle Earth. In it‚ Tolkien tells us of Illúvatar‚ Eä‚ the Valar and the birth of Elves‚ Dwarves and Men.

Dark Side of Humanity According to William Golding‚ humanity has always had a dark side and even the most respectable and dignified people can turn to their dark side if forced to due to their circumstances.

In both of them they created factions between themselves.. Many people were killed due to the fact that people mistakenly
