Did you see the movie The Lord of the Rings? Most people know that it's based on J.R.R. Tolkien's book. But few realize, that by day, Tolkien was a professor of ancient languages. He led a very normal life as a college professor, preparing lectures and grading papers. He loved to write. However, and in his spare time at night, he escaped to a world of hobbits, elves and other creatures. In 1937, he published The Hobbit. Then, he wrote the three novels that are known together as The Lord of the Rings. It took him twelve years. Have you ever seen the three books in one volume? If so, you know how much work Tolkien put into creating his fantasy world. Actually, it's surprising that it took him only twelve years.

Answer:
A square is a polygon with 4 sides of equal length and 4 right angle corners (90 degree corners).
Because it has 4 sides of equal length, a square is a regular quadrilateral.
A square is also a rectangle with equal sides and a rhombus with right angles.
The area of a square is equal to the length of one side to the power of two (length squared).
Answer:
One theme in Flannery O'Connor's "Everything that Rises Must Converge" is:
A. looks can be deceiving.
Explanation:
In the short story "Everything that Rises Must Converge," several themes can be found. <u>Among them, one of the main themes is that looks can be deceiving. The following passage from the story is evidence of that:</u>
<u>"She was one of the few members of the Y reducing class who arrived in hat and gloves and who had a son who had been to college."</u>
The main characters are J.ulian and his mother, and none of them is what they seem to be. <u>J.ulian, for instance, has convinced himself that he is modern, open-minded, and thoughtful; he has also told himself that his mother is his complete opposite - a narrow-minded, prejudiced person. He is angry at her for the importance she places on appearances.</u>
<u>However, as the story unfolds, we realize J.ulian is also prejudiced and narrow-minded when it comes to his mother. And he too cares about what others think of him</u>. His mother, on the other hand, has her flaws and limitations, but is revealed to have a good heart. <u>Their looks and their behaviors are deceiving, not showing their true selves. </u>

Note: Some words starting with j and u are forbidden by Brainly. That is why I had to type J.ulian like this.
