    AnalyzingStyle Activty

    Queen Elizabeth I used rhetorical strategies and upright style choices to convey her message. When Queen Elizabeth gave her speech to the English troops who were in preparation for an attack by the Spanish Armada, she revealed her awareness of the crucial position the soldiers were in and the world as well. In her speech, she is exhorting her troops to face the battle with courage and determination and she does that by taking her place as the speaker to interact with the audience and defining her point. Her point was to support her troops and specify the importance of her safety and commitment for the people of the kingdom. The way she uses herself in context, she stood for the whole nation and it proposes the nobility of the troops who would feel obligated as gentlemen to defend their queen. Also, the queen reinforces her image by stating how she is looked upon as a weak and feeble woman however; she compares herself to a fierce and courageous king. By doing so, she persuades the audience that she is strong, loyal, and glorious. With these references, she gives her persona and she expresses her understanding of the power and prominence that the soldiers have among the world. Furthermore, Elizabeth points out that with their amity, they will be rewarded and that strengthens them because that shows her trust and belief, which projects her persona as well.

The belief is that a brotherhood should work together, fight together and ultimately treat one another as if they are truly brothers. The warriors in the heroic epic Beowulf wear a form of protective armor on their upper body known as chain mail, this chain mail represents the rise and fall of the brotherhood that the community of Heorot so strongly believes in.…

    SUMMER READING PROJECT Part 1

    A setting about the impact of the setting is, “in the city that the four men live is not an ideal place you would not want to live in.” There are a few reasons why this setting affects the lives of the four men. My first reason is the in that area the en live in call it a “lockup” in New York which does not sound very pleasant. In that city, there is a lot of crime and violence, which most people do not want. For instance, there is a man murdered and robbed for money at his own convenient store. In addition, Steve (the protagonist) is in detention center willing to take his life so he would spend a day in jail. I do not think it would not happen in any other setting but the likely hood of it being in a different setting there would be a different plot. Such as if, the setting was in a wealthy neighborhood. There is a less of a chance not of crime and violence in that setting. An example to support this says, “The best time is to cry at night, when the lights are out and someone is getting beaten up screaming for help.”…

    Queen Elizabeth Research Paper

    She was able to use it to bring victory to England on the battlefield. Elizabeth was also “taught the art of public speaking, unheard of for women at the time. But the ability to address a large number of people, from ministers in Parliament to troops on the battlefield, stood Elizabeth in good stead for the future. She learnt how to turn the tide of opinion in her favour, and this became one of her most effective weapons” (Briscoe). This became valuable in the 1580s when the war between England and Spain became apparently inevitable. The Spanish Armada was a fleet of 130 ships that King Phillip of Spain planned to sail into the English Channel to meet with an army coming from the Netherlands and simultaneously invade England. However, Elizabeth’s men were maintaining a close watch on the shores of England for the Armada, and when the first ship was spotted fighting erupted. As English soldiers and sailors were fighting for England’s independence, the Queen was headed for Tilbury. “She was not going to sit trembling inside a guarded Palace while her people fought, but was going to go to the coast of the battle and ‘live or die’ with them” (Thomas, “The Spanish Armada”). Here, she made what could be her most famous speech, the Tilbury Speech, where she stated, “I know I have the body of a meek and feeble woman, but I have the heart and stomach of a King,…

    In January 1588, Philip II sent a serious message to the Castile, the assembly in which the representatives of cities gathered: "You know all the business in which I have set for the service of God and increasing our holy Catholic faith and benefit of these kingdoms [...] This requires very large and overspending, because it does not go unless the security of the sea and the Indies and even their own homes. ""Enterprise" to which the king was referring to was nothing less than an invasion of England, aiming to overthrow Queen Elizabeth and finish with the support it provided to the Protestant rebels of Flanders, at war with Spain for some twenty years.

    The Demise Of The Invincible Spanish Armada

    The demise of the “Invincible” Spanish Armada is an iconic event for the time which glorified Queen Elizabeth I. After this battle which lead to the defeat of the armada she became Bellona or goddess of war. Philip II was the Ruler of Spain who was in control in their military and ordered the Spanish Armada to attack England. Elizabeth knew the Spanish had hostility to England and encouraged pirating of the Spanish ships. The ships were coming from the new world which created anger of the Spanish King with insufficient funds to pay the cost of no rebellion in the Netherlands. Philip became frustrated after looting and prepared for war with the English in 1585. Queen Mary was Philip II’s wife before her death after conspiring to kill Elizabeth.…

    Twelfth Night Essay

    Writing about Shakespeare promotes a sympathy with extremes. One such extreme is the impressionism of a critic like A. C. Bradley, when he tries to hold together, synoptically, Feste the fool and Shakespeare himself, both as actor and magical author. Bradley notes that the Fool in Lear has a song not dissimilar to the one that concludes Twelfth Night1 and leaves Feste at the finish-line. “But that's all one, our play is done …” After everything has been sorted out, and the proper pairings are arranged, verbal and structural rhythms converge to frame a sort of closure—though playing is never done, as the next and final verse suggests: “And we'll strive to please you every day.” Bradley, having come to the end of an essay on Feste, extends Twelfth Night speculatively beyond the fool's song, and imagines Shakespeare leaving the theater:…

    Defeat of Spanish Armada

    When she heard that the Spanish were coming she went to tilbury and made a famous speech. She said “My loving people, we have been persuaded by some that are careful of our safety, to take heed how we commit ourselves to armed multitudes, for fear of treachery; but I assure you I do not desire to live to distrust my faithful and loving people. Let tyrants fear, I have always so behaved myself that, under God, I have placed my chiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts and good-will of my subjects; and therefore I am come amongst you, as you see, at this time, not for my recreation and disport, but being resolved, in the midst and heat of the battle, to live and die amongst you all; to lay down for my God, and for my kingdom, and my people, my honour and my blood, even in the dust. I know I have the body but of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king, and of a king of England too, and think foul scorn that Parma or Spain, or any prince of Europe, should dare to invade the borders of my realm; to which rather than any dishonour shall grow by me, I myself will take up arms, I myself will be your general, judge, and rewarder of every one of your virtues in the field. I know already, for your forwardness you have deserved rewards and crowns; and we do assure you in the word of a prince, they shall be duly paid you. In the meantime, my lieutenant general shall be in my stead, than whom never prince commanded a more noble or worthy subject; not doubting but by your obedience to my general, by your concord in the camp, and your valour in the field, we shall shortly have a famous victory over those enemies of my God, of my kingdom, and of my people.” (Took from http://www.luminarium.org/renlit/tilbury.htm) She said this speech to boost the morale of her troops and sailors,…

    In his Poetics, Aristotle set forth the characteristics of good tragedy. To him the two most important features of tragedy were plot and character. The plot should contain a change in fortune, preferably from good to bad, and should ideally hinge on a recognition or discovery. T The main character, the protagonist, should be a person in whom good and bad are mixed but in whom the good predominates.…
