Exactly....good authors, like Tolkien, like Christopher Paolini, don't take any specific story, but they take themes, from mythology, from other books, etc., and use it in their own ways, unique to their stories, yet with a basis in something else. Does that make sense?

"'I would,' said Faramir. And he took her in his arms and kissed her under the sunlit sky, and he cared not that they stood high upon the walls in the sight of many. And many indeed saw them and the light that shone about them as they came down from the walls and went hand in hand to the Houses of Healing."
