see, i love to write. it's been my dream to have a book published with my grandmother's painting as the cover forever. I have one poem and a short science-fiction story published already, but i'll never stop writing.
the plays about this girl named Raven who is a princess in a poor kingdom, who is neighbors with a rich kingdom. Raven doesn't agree with her fathers methods, and thinks that if she could just rule in her father's place, the kingdom would be so much better.
The father sells Raven's happiness to the neighboring king, who's son doesn't want to mary Raven. If they DID marry, the two kingdom's would come together. but those two HATE eachother. Raven runs away, and meets a boy from the neighboring kingdom. they fall in love, but they can't be together because of her father.
what should i do now? I'm thinking that Raven and the prince from the other town should work together to get out of the marrage. Help!!!"This is copywrited" so please don't steal it! i really need help!!

Freedom is an illusion, and an easily manipulated one at that.

What is your opinion on this?

I have written several types of stories since retiring, more as a hobby because it is fun, and have shared them with family. I eventually wanted to become a published author, maybe even make enough to pay some bills. The agents I have sent the works seem to universally like what I have written but all, with one exception only, want money for some reason or other. This seems counter to my understanding of the process or perhaps I do not understand it well enough. I thought the money was supposed to flow in my direction and not the other way.

I expected suggestions and was ready to change, add, and re-qrite as necessary but did not expect the agents to themselves request monies. I admit that outside of a dissertation which is so called published by the school- after I pay for it, I have published buptkiss.

Hello

I have written an essay on the causes of World War One. I have to hand it , but i do not think it is the best in answering the question. Can you please read it and give suggestions? Thanx

On Sunday 28th June, 1914, the heir to the Austro-Hungarian Throne, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, and his wife, were assassinated by Gavrilo Princip, part of a Serbian Terrorist Group, called the Black Hand at Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovnia.
This event and the tension between Europe was a trigger that set off declarations of war and resulted in the “Great War”. Tensions had been building up in Europe for decades through Nationalism, Imperialism, Militarism, and Alliances, and these tensions had reach such a point that an event was needed to break these tensions. This was the assassination of the Archduke. Therefore The assassination, Nationalism, Militarism, Imperialism and Alliances were causes of World War One. Australia was involved in the war because of the fact that it was part of the British Empire therefore having duties towards Britain, and also
growing patriotic support for the mother country. This patriotism was a main factor in deciding Australia’s fate in World War One.


NATIONALISM

Around the 1900, there was a love and devotion that started to occur towards a persons country. Instead of belonging to different dukes or kings, people started to have nationalism or patriotism towards there country, a sort of pride towards their country. This pride in one’s country resulted in countries thinking that they were superior than other countries, and that sacrificing other land, countries or people for the benefit of your own country was a good thing, because your country is “better” and therefore has more rights. This started alliances and unity between countries whom had same goals and therefore could fight together. For example in the case of the unity between Britain and France, they united because they both believed they were fighting external aggression that threatened their security (From a growing industrialized now unified Germany.) In purpose of defeating Germany If needed, and alliance was formed, because in Reality , the Nationalism in Russia and Britain was that we are better than Germany, and therefore together we can be superior to it. In Germany though, there were two trains of thought. The prevailing thought line was Germany needed to enter the war as soon as possible, because they were being surrounded by aggressors such as France, Britain and Russia. The German people also bought into this notion, as this nationalism that started to exist into Germany soon turned into jealousy. When countries start assuming that they are better than others, jealousy forms between these countries and this in return turns into tension. Nationalism in Germany had turned into jealousy when Britain and France, turned Allies, and therefore Germany made allies with countries. This in return increased tensions between opposing countries until the assignation of the Archduke.

MILITARISM
In the decade that lead up to the war, most of the main powers needed a strong military to be able to exert their imperial dominance, and therefore strong militaries were popular during the period. As a result of that, European powers wanted to increase their military power and outdo other countries in terms of Military power and dominance. As a country increased their military power with larger armies and more weapons, others countries would do the same, in order to avoid the balance of power tipping to far one way, and this in turn increased the prospects of World War One. This became known as the Arms Race, and this Militarism, helped build a foundation of war which was triggered by the assassination.

IMPERIALISM

By 1921, Britain had control over many countries in the world : India, Australia, Papua New Guinea, in fact at the peak of its power, it was often said that "the sun never sets on the British Empire" because its span across the globe ensured that the sun was always shining on at least one of its numerous colonies. This is known as imperialism and as means when a country takes over new lands or countries and makes them subject to their rule. Many countries such as the British Empire were at the peak of their industrial revolution and their developments of industries were huge. When industrialism occurs, countries need foreign markets to sell their increase in goods. When the war began all the major European powers had built up significant overseas colonial empires with Britain and France leading the way. The Germans were latecomers to this game and all the good countries were already taken. The Germans were left with some small and commercially marginal colonies. German nationalists found this hard to bear. There was a great deal of jealousy in Germany in regard to the British and French empires. Furthermore, Britain in particular, used its navy and merchant navy to dominate overseas trade, which also provided a source of irritation to the Germans. The Germans embarked on a program of massive naval spending in order to create a navy capable of challenging Britain's domination of the sea. This caused considerable concern in Britain and tensions between the Germans and the Britain. Once the trigger was fired, the assassination of the Archduke, Imperialism directly led to a naval arms race between the two countries.
ALLIANCES
An alliance is an agreement made between two or more countries to give each other help if it is needed. This was the main reason that World War One turned from a Balkan War to the “Great War” involving more than just the countries in Europe. When a country declared war, allies had no option but to declare war , and allies of those countries had to declare war to. Therefore, a chain reaction occurred when war was declared. On 1st August 1914, when war was declared by Germany, the two main Alliances came into play: The Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente. Because Germany declared war on Russia, Russia’s allies because of the Triple Entente entered the War. They included France and Britain. Now during this the Triple Alliance came into play and the allies of Germany, which included Italy and the Austria-Hungary Empire, were at war against each other. Also in cases such as Britain, countries that were part of the British Empire, such as Australia and India, being part of the British Empire had a duty to assist Britain in the war. As you can see these alliances caused this war, instead of being contained in Europe, to spread and become a International affair. If there were no alliances during World War One, each country would have been fighting for themselves, and therefore the War would have been contained in the countries who wanted to go to war, but in this case, these alliances resulted in compulsory attendance in war as an alliance and this caused such a devastating war.
AUSTRALIA’S INVOLVEMENT
In 1914, when Britain declared war, it also declared war on behalf of the British Empire. Being a part of the British Empire, it was Australia’s duty to assist Britain in the war, and therefore to assist Britain’s Allies. Due to the large patriotism existing in Australia towards the mother country, the decision, by the current time Prime Minister Joseph Cook, to send Australia against war with Germany and Austria, was met with spontaneous outpouring of patriotism. Thousands of mean came to enlist in the army, men and boys were eager to fight in the war, and tackle the great adventure of war. Few communities were against Australia joining the war. It was an opportunity for Australia to could demonstrate its loyalty, believing Australia would turn into a nation, and prove its strength as a nation. It was also a chance to develop Australia’s rank in the world and to be a part of the high-power nations.

The assassination was the trigger, for what were causes of tensions brooding in Europe. Once the trigger occurred; Imperialism, Nationalism, Militarism and Alliances all played there part in shaping one of the world most devastating Wars. The assassination triggered countries to go to war, and then allies to go to war, and then colonies to go to war, such as the British Empire sending Australia to war and then result in jealousies between countries through imperialism and nationalism, Germany feeling that Russia and Britain had colonized to many countries and that it had a upper right hand, with people from various countries feeling that their country is the best and therefore should there power through such things as their military power, therefore bringing in militarism.

As you can see all these notions are intertwined and they together form the cause of why such a war like World War One occurred and why it was so devastating, and also why Australia joined the War.
