Jake Frasier - Outside Reading 1

A while back in class, we were talking about mountains and how they are significant to many people. This made me think of one of my favorite books, The Lord of the Rings. In the book, there is a group of individuals that are on a quest to destroy an evil ring in the fires of Mount Doom. The mountain was located in the realm of an evil lord. Mount Doom represented evil rather than god or benevolence. The mountain was a dark volcano, where the evil ring was forged. It was an image that many saw as a symbol for the evil lord. It was significant to the characters within the story because it represented the evil they were trying to destroy, and once it was destroyed, the hope of a better world.
