Understanding JJR Tolkien

I am tying Tolkien's background to his literature. Look at what he went through in school and being drafted in WWII and see how that reflected on his writing (Lord of the Rings). His relationships with his friends, his love that was forbidden, see how Christianity and race took role in the story. I need a 10-page (double spaced) essay focusing on these different themes and characters representing things/people from his history.
