Aluminum Foil Magnetic Force
1,253 words
Summary of Investigation An investigation was
carried out to find out the relationship between
the force created in a wire (or solenoid) when

Gandalf which saves Frodo. The enhanced powers of

the Ring for his own prosperity, for the power of
perception is very great with the Ring. At this
time, he is unable to see the danger of the Ring
that is ever-growing. This section of the trilogy
is one of the most important of all, and it is a

Understanding Magic In J. R. R. Tolkien's
Middle-Earth Essay, Understanding Magic In J. R.
R. Tolkien's Middle-Earth Magic is difficult to
define. Outside the literary works of J. R. R.
Tolkien we do not take it seriously but instead
relegate it to the corners of myth, superstition,
and the supernatural (that which lies outside or
beyond the natural universe). In Tolkien's world
what he calls magic is real and natural, and we
must understand the nature of his world in order
to understand what he...

Will and want All beings have within them
ambitions and desires, but only those who manage

is an excerpt from book two of Plato's The
