“Faithless is he who says farewell when the road darkens‚” said author J.R.R Tolkien. Tolkien’s life wasn’t the happiest one‚ and no matter how bad things got‚ he never gave up.

Even after life threw at him it’s worst‚ Tolkien continued on. It is only reasonable that Tolkien be recognized as one of the world’s greatest authors. Born on January

J.S. Mills had numerous examples when he proclaimed‚ “liberty is often granted where it should withheld‚ as well as withheld where it should be granted” (Mills 103). Everybody deserves liberty as long as they do not harm other individuals in the process.

In the fourth stanza it says “You are beautiful no matter what they
