I don't know if you've read the silmarillion, but you could even compare morgoth to ruin. I guess that would make manwe preservation, if you want to go that far...? you could contrast Vin with Frodo. They're the heroes of their stories, but they have vastly different backgrounds and personalities and are affected by their responsibilities and duties in different ways.. though they do both have a best friend that sticks with them to the end and ends up being vital to their success (vin/elend, frodo/sam) Ooh, the fellowship is kind of comparable to Kelsier's crew. And eowyn is a total boss, just like Vin. c: Plot-wise, though, both occur over the course of three books and end in overall success, though the main hero(es) were required to sacrifice a TON for their goals; although, in my opinion, Frodo did so more than Vin. In both, there were multiple people whose roles were vital to the success of the mission. Frodo and Sam's role involved being as inconspicuous as possible, while Vin and Elend's duties required them to kind of take the spotlight and lead everybody. Both TLR and Sauron are unseen for the majority of the books they're a part of. The reader knows about them mostly through reputation and information given by the characters. this might not help and it's a bit, but hey these are two of my favorite series. I had to :B

I would love to join as well, if this is still happening.

Hoid in WoK seems really different from MB and WB Hoid... when I first read Warbreaker, he was so drastically different from Wit/Hoid that I was convinced that WB Hoid was the person who Wit/Hoid said he stole his name from. why is his personality so varied throughout the books? is it just me? Is it just because of his weird timeline, and he's older in some than in other? do we even know?!

ooh, I really hope this keeps going because I go to byu in the fall and I would LOVE to go to this!! My cousin would probably come, too!
