The lord of the rings



 Hi teacher and classmates! How are you?

Well, today I have to choose a topic. I chose to talk about a movie.

Today i´m going to talk about my favorite movie, The lord of the rings. Is an epic high fantasy novel written by English philologist and University of Oxford professor J.R.R. Tolkien. The novel was written between 1937 and 1949. The novel was divided into three parts, for editorial reasons: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King.  The three volumes of the novel were adapted to film by New Zealander Peter Jackson between 2001 and 2003. 

Some actors that participate are, Elijah Wood como Frodo Bolsón, Viggo Mortensen (as Aragorn), Ian McKellen (as Gandalf), Orlando Bloom (as Legolas) and Christopher Lee (as Saruman).
The movie begins when the hobbit Frodo finds the ring that kept her uncle Bilbo Baggins. Frodo learns the secret of the ring, the wich talking about that, in the inside of the ring was the soul of the Sauron. Then Frodo with friends Sam, Merry and Pippin, and a wizard, an elf, an dwarf, and two warriors men begins your travel. They must to find Mordor, for destroyed the ring. I like the plot of the movie and also contains special effects.

Good bye everyone! I hope you have a good weekend. Thank for read my blog. J

The visit of German chancellor Angela Merkel, this week, to cause angry demonstrations, in which denounced that riot police used a female protester as a human shield.
Witnesses told  the woman was handcuffs to cover riot police.

The inquiry into the human shield allegations was opened after photographs of the incident began to circulate on the internet. Lieutenant Colonel Christos Manouras, Greece's police spokesman. "We want to find out what these pictures hide."

The photographs showed a woman is seen being escorted by riot police before being placed in front of the unit when it encounters stone-throwing protesters.Witnesses said the woman appeared to be disoriented and terrified.

Foula Pharmacides, a shipping company employee, say: " The girl was falling down and he was picking her up. She was crying and clearly terrified. I couldn't believe it. You only ever see this sort of thing in the movies. Everyone started screaming 'Shame on you! Shame on you!' I remember there were two women next to me and they were crying, too, and screaming for the police to stop."

Veteran photographer Spyros Tsakiris, who also witnessed the incident, said:
As Greek descends into further chaos amid mounting social and political tensions, accusations of police brutality are growing. In recent months, reports have multiplied of codes of conduct being flouted by law enforcement officers.

"Since democracy was restored in 1974 [with the collapse of military rule] I have attended hundreds of demonstrations and have seen police sit on people and kneel on people, but never someone being used as a human shield," he said.

The cat is a carnivorous mammal of the Felidae family, and your physical characteristics are: the cat is hairy and some are of different colors as black, white, brown, reddish or a combination thereof, is small, weighs about 5 kilos approximately and has a tail.

I like because is a small animal and I can have in my home. Also, the cat is a animal very sociable even communicates through meows.

A particular characteristic they communicate with moans and also groans and they can be trained to perform different tricks. And the cats are very intelligent´s because they have the ability to hunt vermin and house hold pests. Currently there are about 80 different races of cats. Your life expectancy is 15 years.
