Why do French fries taste so good? When I think about the title and article I I think of J. R. Simplot plant located in the state of Idaho and the great city of downtown Aberdeen. Idaho with its great Soil‚ plays a big role. “Volcanic material once covered all of the land and as it slowly eroded over many years‚ it created a soil that is dark‚ rich‚ well-drained and packed with minerals.” “The water is also a must and Idaho is lucky enough to have the pure snowmelt from the Teton Mountains to irrigate

A world in which everywhere you go‚ people compliment you on your appearance at least once. You would enjoy that‚ would you?

“For if you fail‚ then we are laid bare to the Enemy. Yet if you succeed‚ then our power is diminished‚ and Lothlórien will fade‚ and the tide of Time will sweep it away” (472).

The One Ring had the unprecedented power to corrupt the person carrying the ring‚ called the ring-bearer‚ and turn them against their own will. The Ring messes with the holder’s mind and makes them turn to evil ways. The book The
