The tale of Earendil feels like it would be the most important story of the first age but isn’t included in the great tales. If he didn’t want to turn it into a novel, why not?
Incoming EE freshmen just trying to get an idea of what I will/want to do with this degree.
This is more for people who heard about the silmarillion beforehand, but I’m reading it for the first time and I was so shocked when feanor died so early. I felt he was hyped up by both fans and in-universe as a major figure (I still think he is), so I honestly expected him to die towards the end of the book. I mean I’m pretty sure he was called the mightiest elf.
Did anyone else get surprised by this and what were other ways the silmarillion subverted your expectations?
Everyone is telling me this is going to result in my untimely demise. I kinda like that monday and thursday are mostly free. Would it be beneficial to take college writing next semester and get a better section and instead take an elective this semester?
EDIT:
Thank you everyone for the advice
Im going into my first year engineering and my schedule is looking like it’s a lot. How important is it that I take a humanities elective now and not later or during the summer.
