Certainly. But I do have a request -- could someone let me know which HoME books have info pertaining to that ch. so that I may better prepare? (Of the Return of the Noldor -- I realize that there might be more throughout the series than can be easily listed in terms of related content, but perhaps just certain main passages -- I'd like to go ahead and read them as I work on the intro if possible. Anything would be helpful to me. Thanks!)

“What does the term american refers to” asked the boy, and the wise man answered: “Lets look at the dictionary then.” As an adjective American is: 1. Of or relating to the United States of America or its people, language, or culture. 2. Of or relating to North or South America, the West Indies, or the Western Hemisphere. As a noun American is: A native or inhabitant of America. A citizen of the United States. Then the boy asked, “What is America then?”, and the wise man looked at the dictionary again: 1. The United States. 2. also the A·mer·i·cas. The landmasses and islands of North America, Central America, and South America. Confused, the boy asked, “Does the term american refers solely to a us citizen or to any person in North, Central or South America?” The wise man replied: “What do you think?”, and the boy answered: “It is clear to me that while the term american is used to refers to us citizens, one can also use it to refer to any person who is from that continent too,” the boy thought for a while and asked the wise man, “Am I right?”, and he replied: “But of course.” The boy wondered, why is it that some people refuse to acknowledge the fact that the term american refers not only to US citizens but to anyone of the American continent?, but then sadly, the boy understood, that it is the calamity of ignorance. |

You know something SGH, I think that I will take you on the chapter of Beren and Lúthien. I think that they are several things that I have overlooked in that story and doing the Intro will help me in that.

SGH
I have been reading the post for chapter assignments with interest for some time now. I understand that assignments have already been handed out but I wouldn't mind contributing as researching Tolkien has always been a casual side-line hobby of mine. However (here I may be sounding a bit dim), I'm not exactly sure of what is required. I'd be pleased to lend a hand, if needed, upon further clarification.

Well, it looks as though we need to re-assign chapter 14. If anyone is interested in doing this chapter, please post asap. We are one day behind right now. If anyone would like to do it, you can have a couple of days to do your research and post your intro.
