Yes and No

The article was an argument for the influences of world war one on the writings of Tolkien, not an exploration on the meaning of tolkien's writings. So any "exploration" I did was solely to prove this point. I think this was achieved more than adequately. Also given the nature of the article, I could only use so much reference from Tolkien himself before it became not credible. I had to use academic articles about the issue to give contemporary credibility to my arguements. So the focus was not so much what he had to say (though integral it was) but what other academics had to say also.
