Ive recently finished the Lord of the Rings novel number 2, "The Two Towers". It just so happens that when i was half way done with it my AP Language and Comp(easier put as Honors English worth college credits for juniors) teacher tells us we're doing something called a Long Form, were we chose a good book and write about it. So i figured ah well why not do it on the book im reading now? But as it turns out, the long form makes u analyze ever miniscule detail of the book. Going from 'how often are metaphors used?' to 'how does the author set the tone?' to 'What is the significance of the title?'. I found that after i did this, the book kind of lost its magic. So if an english teacher ever approaches you with a paper with 'Long Form' written across the top, RUN!
