World War I, the Great War, began on July 28, 1914, and ended on November 11, 1918. This war had a huge effect on each involved country’s people. The four major causes of the Great War were Nationalism, Militarism, Imperialism, and the alliances made before the war was even thought about. Nationalism and Militarism tie together very well; for example, Germany had a strong desire for world power, Weltpolitik, because of how amazing they thought their country was which caused them to be an Imperial and Militaristic country. In addition to Germany’s nationalism, the French had a desire for revenge over Alsace-Lorraine, the Germany-annexed territory that was taken in the Franco-Prussian War. The Alliances, Triple-Entente and Triple Alliance,

Holmes recorded in his journal his plan of entering the town’s large midnight premiere of The Dark Knight Rises armed with an assault rifle, pump action shotgun, a semi-automatic pistol, gas grenades, body armor, and ample ammunition to massacre the entire four-hundred person screening of the film. Holmes also considered an airport as his target, but with the tighter security, he selected his local Century 16 movie theater. Out of “hatred for mankind,” much like Frankenstein’s monster, Holmes entered the theater casually and unarmed, then proceeded to set his self proclaimed “mission” into effect. The movie began, and several minutes into the opening action sequence, Holmes left the screening room through an emergency exit, propping the door open so he could re-enter the densely populated room. He traveled to his car, where he stored his wide array of equipment, suited up, and made his way back into the theater.

He opened the exit door and threw smoke grenades into the audience to confuse and frighten them. Many believed the smoke to be special theatrical effects since it was the town’s special premiere of the film. Then

Tom Bombadil placed the magic ring on his finger; everyone waited for him to disappear, but nothing happened, and he handed the ring back to Frodo without a slight hesitation. Frodo offered Galadriel the ring and she grew into a horrible creature towering over Frodo, but fought the ring’s strong temptation, and finally decreasing back to her normal self and declined the powerful ring. Both Tom and Galadriel, in The Lord of the Ring, portray Tolkien’s respect for nature and strong spirituality, because they are powerful creatures, yet able to live a balanced life. Tom Bombadil was the master of the forest he lived in, and Frodo’s magic ring had no effect on him. Lady Galadriel was an Elf ruler and was able to withstand the temptation of the magic ring. The magic ring symbolizes the corruption and power, leading to an unsustainable world. For example, society has an unsustainable demand for oil. Oil pipelines, such as the Keystone, have lessened the beauty of nature where they have been built. Companies believe they have the right to construct pipelines across the US at the expense of the environment. Humans must remember to value the beauty of nature.

In today’s society you are guaranteed nothing. There is a slogan that I was always told that says “Practice doesn’t make perfect, practice makes permanent” – Eric Thomas (ETInspires).
