Movie Review of I Am Elizabeth Smart
I Am Elizabeth Smart is a documentary defiantly worth watching. Elizabeth Smart tells of how a man armed with a knife kidnapped her when she was only fourteen years old.

The police decided to place Elizabeth in the police car away from her abductor. That's what it took for her to say I am Elizabeth Smart. This is a hard

    Like her best friend Hilly, Elizabeth falls squarely into the villain/bully/ child abuser category, though we admit we find her a little more sympathetic than Hilly. Not that this excuses her, but she seems particularly vulnerable to Hilly's whims because of her borderline economic status. Although her mother, Miss Fredericks, is rich, Elizabeth…

    1. I believe the documentary was intriguing, eye-opening and realistic. The one scene in the documentary that truly stuck out to me was when one of the females felt like she was being picked on by Jane Elliot. She was a white female with short hair, the only one to walk out of the room. Jane Elliot states, “When your hand is up you are thinking about what you are trying to say rather than listening.”…

    Queen Elizabeth I of England, who ruled for 45 years from 1558-1603, had an uneasy reign. Since she was a female monarch and not male, which was rare in England, people believed that she wouldn’t be a competent monarch. The people who were not favorable for female monarchs or even females in general, believed very strongly abut the issue. John Knox, a Scottish religious reformer, declared in First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstrous Regiment of Women, that a women ruler is “against all nature” (D1).

Marcus Gheeraerts, an English court painter, depicts Queen Elizabeth as a person who is rich and in control by dressing her in extravagant clothes and putting the world underneath her (D8). During Queen Elizabeth’s reign, there were those who were not favorable to her rule and those who were, but apart from what others said, she herself thought that she was a competent ruler.…
