Your Topic:
Tolkien says in this chapter that “It is a strange thing, but things that are good to have and days that are good to spend are soon told about, and not much to listen to; while things that are uncomfortable, palpitating, and even gruesome, may make a good tale, and take a deal of telling away.” (page 57). What does this quote mean, and do you agree? Why or why not?
